Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of luggage technology, and more specifically to the front cover assembly of a suitcase. Background Technology

[0002] A suitcase, also known as a travel case or rolling case, is a box specifically designed for carrying personal belongings, especially for use when traveling.

[0003] It typically has a sturdy outer shell to protect the contents and is equipped with handles and wheels for easy carrying.

[0004] The suitcase consists of two hollow boxes with side openings, connected by a zipper. In other words, when in use, the two boxes are fastened together by the zipper, and the cavity between them serves as a storage compartment for storing items.

[0005] Because the interior of a suitcase is relatively large, many items, such as clothes and books, can be stored inside.

[0006] When users need to retrieve some items, they have to open the zipper and the entire suitcase, which makes retrieving items very cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a front cover assembly for a suitcase that allows for easy access to some items within the suitcase.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model can be implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0009] A front cover assembly for a suitcase includes a zipper and two boxes with internal cavities and openings on one side. The zipper is located between the openings of the two boxes and allows the two boxes to be fastened together or separated. The front cover assembly includes a storage opening extending through the side of the box and a front cover that matches the storage opening. The lower part of the front cover is hinged to the box at the lower part of the storage opening. The upper part of the front cover has a first fastening part, and the box at the upper part of the storage opening has a second fastening part that matches the first fastening part. When the first fastening part and the second fastening part are fastened together, the front cover closes the storage opening.

[0010] The front cover assembly of the aforementioned suitcase also includes a fixed seat and a movable seat. The fixed seat is fixedly connected to the suitcase body, and the movable seat is hinged to the fixed seat by a pin. The lower part of the front cover is fixedly connected to the movable seat.

[0011] In the aforementioned front cover assembly of the suitcase, the suitcase body has a protruding connecting seat and also includes a roller, the roller being located on the outside of the suitcase body and fixed to the outside of the connecting seat, and the fixing seat being fixed to the inside of the connecting seat.

[0012] In the aforementioned front cover assembly of the suitcase, the lower part of the fixing seat has a connecting part that protrudes to its side, the connecting part is in contact with the surface of the connecting seat and the two are fixed together by fasteners.

[0013] In the aforementioned front cover assembly of the suitcase, the fixed seat has a connecting cavity with openings at the top and side. When the movable seat is in the block shape and is embedded in the connecting cavity, the front cover closes the storage opening. When the movable seat swings around its hinge and moves out of the connecting cavity from the side of the fixed seat, the front cover can disengage from the storage opening.

[0014] In the aforementioned front cover assembly of the suitcase, when the movable seat detaches from the connecting cavity and abuts against the side of the fixed seat, the included angle between the front cover and the side of the suitcase body is 70-100 degrees.

[0015] In the aforementioned front cover assembly of the suitcase, the fixed seat, the movable seat, and the pin form a hinge unit, and also includes a long, plate-shaped connecting rod. Two hinge units are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the connecting rod. The lower part of the front cover is pressed tightly between the connecting rod and the movable seat, and the front cover, the connecting rod, and the movable seat are connected by fasteners.

[0016] In the front cover assembly of the aforementioned suitcase, the movable seat has a cylindrical connecting tube, and the aforementioned pin passes through the connecting tube with both ends of the pin connected to the fixed seat.

[0017] In the front cover assembly of the aforementioned suitcase, the first fastening part is a locking tongue, and the second fastening part is a locking seat. The first fastening part is embedded in the second fastening part, and the two can be locked together.

[0018] In the aforementioned suitcase front cover assembly, when the front cover is fastened to the storage opening of the suitcase body, the outer side of the front cover is flush with the outer side of the suitcase body.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the front cover assembly in this suitcase allows for the independent opening and closing of storage openings on the side of the suitcase. Therefore, opening the front cover assembly makes it easier to access some items in the suitcase, improving the suitcase's usability.

[0020] Meanwhile, the front cover of the front cover assembly is flush with the outside of the suitcase body, which also improves the overall structural compactness of the suitcase and has high practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the suitcase includes a zipper 2 and two boxes 1 with internal cavities and openings on one side. The zipper 2 is located between the openings of the two boxes 1 and can be used to fasten or separate the two boxes 1.

[0034] The front cover assembly of this suitcase includes a storage opening 1a extending through the side of the suitcase body 1 and a front cover 3 that matches the storage opening 1a. The lower part of the front cover 3 is hinged to the suitcase body 1 at the lower part of the storage opening 1a. The upper part of the front cover 3 has a first fastening part 3a, and the suitcase body 1 at the upper part of the storage opening 1a has a second fastening part 1b that matches the first fastening part 3a. When the first fastening part 3a and the second fastening part 1b are fastened together, the front cover closes the storage opening 1a.

[0035] In the initial state, the first fastening part 3a and the second fastening part 1b are fastened together. At this time, the front cover 3 closes the storage opening 1a on the box body 1.

[0036] Since opening the entire suitcase requires operating zipper 2, retrieving some items from the suitcase is not particularly cumbersome.

[0037] However, the front cover assembly allows the storage opening 1a on the suitcase 1 to be opened and closed independently, making it very convenient to retrieve some items from inside the suitcase after opening the front cover 3.

[0038] It also includes a fixed seat 4 and a movable seat 5. The fixed seat 4 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1, and the movable seat 5 is hinged to the fixed seat 4 by a pin 6. The lower part of the front cover 3 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 5.

[0039] The fixed seat 4 is used to fix it to the housing 1, and the movable seat 5 is used to fix it to the front cover 3. The above structure can ultimately enable the front cover 3 to be indirectly hinged to the housing 1.

[0040] The housing 1 has a protruding connecting seat 7 and also includes a roller 8. The roller 8 is located on the outside of the housing 1 and is fixed to the outside of the connecting seat 7. The fixing seat 4 is fixed to the inside of the connecting seat 7.

[0041] Connector 7 has two functions:

[0042] Firstly, provide sufficient space for the rollers 8 to connect;

[0043] Secondly, provide sufficient space for the connection of the fixing base 4.

[0044] Since the roller 8 and the fixed seat 4 are located on both sides of the connecting seat 7, mutual interference between the fixed seat 4 and the roller 8 can be avoided.

[0045] The lower part of the fixed base 4 has a connecting part 4a that protrudes to its side. The connecting part 4a is in contact with the surface of the connecting base 7 and the two are fixed together by fasteners.

[0046] Since the connecting part 4a is in contact with the surface of the connecting seat 7 and the two are connected by fasteners, the fixing seat 4 can be stably fixedly connected to the connecting seat 7.

[0047] The fixed seat 4 has a connecting cavity 4b with openings at the top and sides. When the movable seat 5 is in the shape of a block and is embedded in the connecting cavity 4b, the front cover 3 closes the storage opening 1a. When the movable seat 5 swings around its hinge and moves out of the connecting cavity 4b from the side of the fixed seat 4, the front cover 3 can disengage from the storage opening 1a.

[0048] When the movable seat 5 swings around its hinge point into the connecting cavity 4b, the connecting cavity 4b can limit the movable seat 5. Of course, at this time, the front cover 3 is stably fastened at the storage opening 1a.

[0049] After the movable seat 5 swings and disengages from the connecting cavity 4b, the front cover 3 swings along with it, and the storage port 1a on the box 1 is stably opened.

[0050] When the movable seat 5 detaches from the connecting cavity 4b and abuts against the side of the fixed seat 4, the angle between the front cover 3 and the side of the housing 1 is 90 degrees. Depending on the actual situation, an angle of 70 or 80 degrees is also feasible.

[0051] Because the swing travel of the movable seat 5 is limited, the swing travel of the front cover 3 is also limited accordingly.

[0052] The fixed seat 4, the movable seat 5 and the pin 6 form a hinge unit, and also include a long plate-shaped connecting rod 9. The two hinge units are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the connecting rod 9. The lower part of the front cover 3 is pressed tightly between the connecting rod 9 and the movable seat 5, and the front cover 3, the connecting rod 9 and the movable seat 5 are connected by fasteners.

[0053] Two hinged units are connected to both ends of the connecting rod 9, respectively.

[0054] The connecting rod 9 not only connects the two hinged units, but also has a large contact area with the front cover 3, which allows the front cover 3 to be stably connected to the connecting rod 9.

[0055] The movable seat 5 has a cylindrical connecting cylinder 5a, and the aforementioned pin 6 passes through the connecting cylinder 5a and both ends of the pin 6 are connected to the fixed seat 4.

[0056] This structure allows the movable seat 5 to be stably hinged to the fixed seat 4.

[0057] The first latching part 3a is a locking tongue, and the second latching part 1b is a locking seat. The first latching part 3a is embedded in the second latching part 1b and the two can be locked together.

[0058] The lock consists of a bolt and a lock seat. When the bolt is engaged with the lock seat, the front cover and the case are securely locked together. To resolve this, the corresponding key must be inserted into the lock seat.

[0059] Since the lock is existing technology and a commercially available component, its technical features will not be described in detail in the embodiments.

[0060] When the front cover 3 is fastened and connected to the storage opening 1a of the box 1, the outer side of the front cover 3 is flush with the outer side of the box 1.

[0061] This structure allows the front cover 3 to be relatively concealed. To the average person unfamiliar with this suitcase, they wouldn't know that the front cover 3 on the side of the suitcase 1 can be opened, which not only improves its structural compactness but also enhances its security.

[0062] The front cover assembly of this suitcase allows for the independent opening and closing of storage openings on the side of the suitcase. Therefore, opening the front cover assembly makes it easy to access some items inside the suitcase, improving the suitcase's usability.

[0063] Meanwhile, the front cover of the front cover assembly is flush with the outside of the suitcase body, which also improves the overall structural compactness of the suitcase and has high practical value.

[0064] The above-described technical solution of this utility model addresses the problem that existing technical solutions are too simplistic and provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies. The parts not covered in this application's technical solution are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] The technical solutions in the above embodiments have clearly and completely described the content of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
