Benefits of technology

The present invention is a hard shell luggage case that can be opened in either an upright or horizontal position, making it convenient to use. Additionally, the case will not fall down when opened and will stand upright. The invention is also a low-cost hard shell luggage case.

Problems solved by technology

Since both the body 11 and the cover 12 are used for storing items, it is necessary to enhance the connection between the body 11 and the cover 12 by the use of the hinges 15, which, however, increases the cost of the luggage case.

[0030]The body 20 includes an inner space which is defined by a bottom surface 21, annular lateral surface 22 and a top surface 23, and a mouth 25 which is defined by a mouth peripheral edge 251 and located at the top surface 23. In this embodiment, the body 20 is formed by a front shell 201 and a rear shell 202 which are connected by a connecting member 26 which can be (but not limited to) a zipper, and of course, the body 20 can also be integrally structured (as shown in FIG. 7). The mouth peripheral edge 251 of the body 20 includes a rear shell edge 2512 formed on the rear shell 202 and a front shell edge 2511 formed on the front shell 201.

[0031]The cover 30 is pivoted to the mouth 25 of the body 20 and can be lifted to open, and includes a flat surface 31 and a cover edge 32 which is adapted to mate with the mouth perip...

second embodiment

[0040]Referring then to FIG. 8, a hard shell luggage case in accordance with the present invention is similar to the first embodiment, except that:

[0041]The mouth peripheral edge 251 of the body 20 includes a rear shell edge 2512 formed on the rear shell 202 and a front shell edge 2511 formed on the front shell 201. The cover edge 32 of the cover 30 includes a rear cover edge 322 for mating with the rear shell edge 2512, a front cover edge 321 for mating with the front shell edge 2511, and a pivot piece 61 which is disposed between and connect the rear shell edge 2512 and the rear cover edge 322. Namely, the cover 30 and the body 20 of the second embodiment are pivoted in a direction different from the first embodiment, so that the cover 30 is pulled to open in a different direction with respect to the body 20.
