Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of luggage pedal technology, and in particular to a foldable foot pedal for luggage. Background Technology

[0002] A suitcase, also known as a travel case or rolling suitcase, is a type of luggage carried when traveling to store belongings. It's typically used to hold clothing, personal care items, and souvenirs needed for a trip. Many modern suitcases now feature a seated design, with footrests on the lower sides of the suitcase, allowing users to sit comfortably with their feet on the footrests. This ergonomic design provides a comfortable seating experience. However, existing suitcase footrest structures have upward-facing slots on the support plate, with a receiving cavity on the footrest and protrusions on the cavity walls. When folded, the footrest is secured to the support plate by the engagement of the slots and protrusions. This design has a drawback: the protrusions are prone to wear and tear over time, making it difficult to secure the footrest later. Utility Model Content

The support plate is disposed on the suitcase, and one end of the foot pedal is rotatably connected to the support plate. The foot pedal has a receiving cavity. The support plate has at least one threaded hole and several insertion holes. The foot pedal has several through holes. It also includes a base plate and at least one nut and a T-shaped screw. The base plate has several straight rods, which can respectively cooperate with the insertion holes and the through holes. One end of the screw passes through the base plate and the foot pedal and is connected to the nut.

[0005] Preferably, the top end of the screw is arc-shaped.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the straight rod is arc-shaped.

[0007] Preferably, the pedal is provided with a clearance groove, and the bottom of the support plate is provided with a round rod and an arc-shaped stop, the round rod being rotatably connected to the wall of the clearance groove.

[0008] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a plurality of countersunk holes.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this utility model, the pedal supports the foot while also pressing the sole of the foot to promote blood circulation, and the through hole on the pedal can discharge the mud and sand in the cavity. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Reference Figures 1 to 4A foldable foot pedal for a suitcase includes a support plate 10 and a foot pedal 2. The support plate 10 is mounted on the suitcase. One end of the foot pedal 2 is rotatably connected to the support plate 10. The foot pedal 2 has a receiving cavity 201. The support plate 10 has at least one threaded hole 101 and several insertion holes 102. The foot pedal 2 has several through holes 202. The suitcase also includes a base plate 3, at least one nut 4, and a T-shaped screw 5. The base plate 3 has several straight rods 301, which can respectively engage with the insertion holes 102 and the through holes 202. One end of the screw 5 passes through the base plate 3 and the foot pedal 2 and is connected to the nut 4. In this invention, the support plate 10 is fitted into the receiving cavity 201 for storage. The nut 4 is located at the T-shaped end of the screw 5. One end of the screw 5 passes through the base plate 3 and the through hole 202 and engages with the threaded hole 101 to fix the pedal 2 and the base plate 3 onto the support plate 10. When the pedal 2 is needed, the screw 5 and the base plate 3 are removed. After the pedal 2 is rotated 90°, the straight rod 301 on the base plate 3 is inserted into the through hole 202. The screw 5 passes through the through hole 202 and engages with the nut 4, thereby fixing the base plate 3. The user's foot is placed on the pedal 2, which supports it. At the same time, the straight rod 301 presses on the sole of the foot, promoting blood circulation. To retract the pedal 2, the screw 5 and the base plate 3 are removed. After the support plate 10 is fitted into the receiving cavity 201, the screw 5 engages with the threaded hole 101. Specifically, after the pedal 2 is opened, one end of the straight rod 301 extends a certain distance above the pedal 2. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the straight rod 301, simply rotate the nut 4. During use, mud and sand will fall into the receiving cavity 201 of the pedal 2, and the through hole 202 plays a certain role in removing sand.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0018] In this embodiment, the top end of the screw 5 is arc-shaped to facilitate the screw 5 passing through the through hole 202.

[0019] In this embodiment, the top end of the straight rod 301 is arc-shaped, which facilitates the straight rod 301 to pass through the through hole 202 and the insertion hole 102.

[0020] In this embodiment, the pedal 2 is provided with a clearance groove 203, and the bottom of the support plate 10 is provided with a round rod 103 and an arc-shaped stop 104. The round rod 103 is rotatably connected to the wall of the clearance groove 203. Specifically, each end of the round rod 103 is provided with a protrusion, which is rotatably connected to the wall of the clearance groove 203. After the pedal 2 rotates 90°, the arc-shaped stop 104 contacts one side wall of the clearance groove 203 and provides limiting support.

[0021] In this embodiment, the support plate 10 is provided with a plurality of countersunk holes 105, and bolts pass through the countersunk holes 105 to fix the support plate 10 to the housing. Specifically, there are three countersunk holes 105, arranged in a triangle.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
