[0003] ,

[0001] The present invention relates to a carry case having a seating surface.

Background Art

[0002] In a wheeled trolley case (hereinafter also referred to as a carry case), for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a seating surface on which a child can straddle and sit is provided on the outer peripheral portions of the front shell and the back shell of the trolley case and is in practical use. Such a seating surface is formed substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the trolley case in a recess formed at a corner portion of one end of both the front shell and the back shell of the trolley case. Further, at the upper portions of the front and back surfaces of both the front shell and the back shell of the trolley case, resin catchers (grips) that can be gripped by a child straddling the above-described seating surface are fixed at positions in front of the seating surface. At the lower portions of the front and back surfaces of both the front shell and the back shell of the trolley case near the bottom surface of the trolley case, resin footrests that support the back portions of each foot of the child are fixed at positions below the seating surface. Each catcher (grip) and each footrest project outward from the front and back surfaces of both the front shell and the back shell of the trolley case. In a carry case, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2, a locking device for locking or unlocking a pair of slider handles attached to a zipper in a locking hole is provided. Such a locking device includes a dial lock portion that uses a dial to lock or unlock a pair of slider handles in a locking hole, and a user key lock portion that locks or unlocks a pair of slider handles in a locking hole with a user key.

Patent Document 2

[0004] As described above, each catcher (grip) and footrest in the wheeled trolley case protrudes outward from the front and back of the trolley case's front and back shells. Therefore, if the trolley case accidentally falls over while in use, the resin catchers (grips) and footrests may be damaged by the impact. In such a case, if the resin catchers (grips) and footrests are fixed to the front and back of the trolley case's front and back shells, it may be difficult to easily replace the damaged catchers (grips) and footrests with new ones without first removing the interior components fixed to the inside of the front and back shells. Furthermore, if a locking device, such as the one shown in Patent Document 2, is provided in a carry case at a position easily accessible to a child straddling the seat, there is a risk that the carry case may open unintentionally and its contents may spill out if the dial lock is operated by a child's mischief while the carry case is in motion.

[0005] In consideration of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a carry case having a seat that prevents damage to each catcher (grip) and each footrest if the carry case is accidentally knocked over during use, allows for easy replacement of the catcher (grip) and footrest if they are damaged, and prevents the locking device from being unintentionally unlocked or locked by a child straddling the seat while the carry case is in motion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above objective, the carry case having a seat according to the present invention comprises a front shell having a footrest that protrudes outward from the lower part of the front of the outer periphery and has a rotatable support that is superimposed on the lower part of the front, a plurality of casters, an extendable carry handle, and a support bracket that supports each carry handle holder; a back shell that is fitted together with and selectively coupled to the front shell and has a footrest that protrudes outward from the lower part of the rear of the outer periphery and has a rotatable support that is superimposed on the lower part of the rear, a plurality of casters; and a common seat of the front shell and back shell that extends substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the front shell and the back shell toward the lower part of the front shell and the back shell, intersecting and connecting to the ends of the front shell and back shell facing the sides. The front shell and back shell are joined together by zippers formed on the entire periphery of the front and sides of the front shell and the back and sides of the back shell, and are connected in an openable and closable manner. The back shell is provided on the side of the back shell where it intersects with the end of the common seat surface of the front and back shells, and is provided on the side of the back shell where it intersects with the end of the common seat surface of the front and back shells, and is provided on the side of the back shell where it intersects with a pair of zipper pull tabs, and is provided on the side of the back shell where it intersects with the end of the common seat surface of the front and back shells, and is provided on the entire periphery of the front and sides of the front shell and the back shell, and is provided on the side of the back shell where it intersects with the end of the common seat surface of the front and back shells entire periphery of the front and sides of the front shell and the back and sides of the back shell, and is provided on the fastener lock part for locking a pair of zipper pull tabs, and the front shell lock part for locking a pair of zipper pull tabs, and the back shell where the end of the common seat surface of the front and back shells are joined together by zippers formed on the front and sides of the front shell and the back and sides of the back shell, and is provided on the entire periphery of the front shell and the back shell, and is connected in an openable and closable manner.

[0007] Additionally, openings may be formed in each interior compartment so as to be openable and closable by fasteners that extend along the sides of the front and back shells from the upper part of the inner circumference of the front and back shells to the lower part of the inner circumference.

[0008] Furthermore, a partition may be provided in the storage space, with one end detachably connected to the inner circumference of the front shell and the inner circumference of the back shell, which are formed to correspond to a common seat surface, and a cushion pad may be provided on the common seat surface of the front shell and back shell. Retractable carry handles and pickup handles may be provided on the top of the front shell. Carry belts may also be provided, with both ends connected to the ends of the front and back shells near a common seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the gripping portion may be positioned forward of the common seating surface of the front and back shells, and the common seating surface may be formed substantially parallel to the bottom surfaces of the front and back shells. Recesses may be formed in the front and back shells by the ends of the front and back shells facing the sides, which extend substantially perpendicular to the top surfaces of the front and back shells toward the bottom of the front and back shells, and the common seating surface of the front and back shells. The footrest may be positioned below the common seating surface of the front and back shells. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] In the carry case having a seat according to the present invention, the footrest, casters, and support brackets are detachable from the front shell and back shell through openings, so if the carry case is accidentally knocked over during use, damage to each catcher (grip) and each footrest can be avoided. Moreover, if the catcher (grip) and footrest are damaged, they can be easily replaced. Furthermore, a zipper lock section for locking a pair of zipper pull tabs is provided on the side of the back shell where it intersects with the end of the common seat of the front shell and back shell, which are joined together and opened and closed by zippers formed on the entire periphery of the front and sides of the front shell and the back and sides of the back shell. This prevents the locking device from being unintentionally unlocked or locked by a child straddling the seat while the carry case is in motion. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 10] This figure shows the front and back shells in the unfolded state in the example shown in Figure 7. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] Figures 1(A) and (B) schematically show the appearance of the first embodiment of a carry case having a seat surface according to the present invention.

[0013] In Figures 1(A) and (B), the zipper-type carry case 10 consists of a resin front shell 12 with an extendable carry handle 16 and a pickup handle 18 at the top, and a zipper 50 formed on the front and sides of the front shell 12 and the entire perimeter of the back and sides of the back shell 14 (described later), which connects them so that they can be opened and closed, and a zipper lock section 20 (see Figure 1(B)) that locks the zipper pull tabs 50FA and 50FB. The main components of the carry case 10 are a resin back shell 14 having a left side, two spaced-apart wheels (casters) 22 provided on the bottom surface of the outer periphery of the front shells 12 and 14, a footrest 40 that can rotate to overlap the lower front of the front shell 12 (see Figure 2(B)), a footrest 40 that can rotate to overlap the lower rear of the back shell 14, and a carry belt 24 whose ends are connected to predetermined positions on the front shell 12 and back shell 14, respectively. The maximum vertical height, horizontal dimension, and width of the carry case 10 are set to approximately 390 mm, 530 mm, and 230 mm, respectively.

[0014] In the upper concave portion of the front shell 12, as shown in FIGS. 2(B) and 3, a carry handle accommodating portion 12R for accommodating the handle portion of the carry handle 16 and two telescopic rods is formed. The two telescopic rods of the carry handle 16 are movably inserted into respective carry handle holders 16S (see FIGS. 5(A), (B), and (C)) inside the front shell 12, which will be described later, through two through holes in the upper holder reinforcing portion 16UL of the carry handle accommodating portion 12R. As shown in FIG. 2(B), the right end portion facing the side surface of the front shell 12 separated from the position where the carry handle accommodating portion 12R is provided extends downward toward the lower portion of the front shell 12 substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the front shell 12, and intersects and continues to the common seating surface 26 of the front shell 12 and the back shell 14. For example, as shown in FIG. 2(A), the seating surface 26 on which a child CH or the like sitting directly facing the carry handle 16 can sit is formed substantially parallel to the bottom surfaces of the front shell 12 and the back shell 14. On the common seating surface 26, cushion pads 28B and 28A with a satin finish are fixed on the front shell 12 and the back shell 14, respectively. Thereby, it is avoided that a child or the like straddling the common seating surface 26 slips off the seating surface 26.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2(A), the left end portion facing the right side surface in the upper portion of the back shell 14 extends downward toward the lower portion of the back shell 14 substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the back shell 14, similar to the opposing front shell 12, and intersects and continues to the common seating surface 26 provided with the above-described cushion pad 28A.

[0016] The resin footrests 40 in the front shell 12 and the back shell 14 have the same structure as each other, so only the footrest 40 in the back shell 14 will be described.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1(A), the footrest 40 is positioned below the point where the left end facing the right side of the upper part of the back shell 14 intersects with the common seat surface 26 described above. The footrest 40 is composed of a fixing plate having four female screw holes spaced apart in the circumferential direction into which small screws BS1 for attachment to the inner circumference of the back shell 14 (described later) are screwed; a retaining plate 42 for holding the fixing plate to the inner circumference of the back shell 14 (see Figure 5(C)); and a support base 44 that is rotatably supported via hinge pins in the notches of a pair of hinge support plates of the fixing plate. The fixing plate has a stopper plate that connects the lower ends of the pair of hinge support plates. As a result, when the lower surface of the support base 44 is supported by the stopper plate, the support base 44 of the footrest 40 protrudes outward from the back surface of the back shell 14, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 1(A). This ensures that the soles of the child's feet, as they straddle the common seat 26, are supported by the support base 44. On the other hand, if the footrest 40's support base 44 is not used, the tip of the support base 44 is rotated via a hinge pin to approach the back of the back shell 14, so that the entire support base 44 is superimposed and housed within the recess 14R at the bottom of the back of the back of the back shell 14 without protruding outward from the back of the back of the back shell 14.

[0018] Therefore, when the footrest 40 is not in use, the support base 44 for the footrest 40 is superimposed and housed in the recess 14R at the bottom of the back of the back shell 14, thus preventing unwanted damage to the footrest 40 if the carry case 10 accidentally falls over.

[0019] The vertical dimension of the left side of the back shell 14, which is connected to the common seat surface 26 described above, is set to be smaller than the vertical dimension of the right side of the back shell 14 described above. As shown in Figure 1(B), a zipper lock section 20 for locking the zipper pull tabs 50FA and 50FB is provided in the central part of the left side of the back shell 14. The zipper lock section 20 includes a dial lock section 20d for locking or unlocking the tips of the pair of zipper pull tabs 50FA and 50FB in the stop holes 20a using a dial on the mounting base 20A, a user key lock section 20c for locking or unlocking the tips of the pair of zipper pull tabs 50FA and 50FB in the stop holes 20a using a user key, and a push button 20b for pushing out the pair of zipper pull tabs 50FA and 50FB from the respective stop holes 20a when unlocked. As described above, the zipper lock section 20 is located in the central part of the left side of the back shell 14 connected to the common seat 26, in a place where a child straddling the common seat 26 cannot easily see it. This prevents a child straddling the common seat 26 from accidentally operating the dial lock section while the carry case is in motion.

[0020] The storage space formed by the inner circumference of the front shell 12 and the back shell 14 is enclosed by an interior lining 60 that covers the inner circumference inside the zipper 50 of the front shell 12, an interior lining 62 that covers the inner circumference inside the zipper 50 of the back shell 14, and a connecting cover (hinge cover) 56 that connects the right side of the front shell 12 and the left side of the back shell 14 in Figure 4(A) and (B).

[0021] A partition 68 is provided in the interior 60 of the front shell 12, overlapping the surface of the interior 60. The partition 68, positioned at a predetermined distance from the inner periphery of the front shell 12, has a portion at its other end that corresponds to the shape of the common seat surface 26, facing the common seat surface 26. One end of the partition 68 is connected to the interior 60 at the lower end of the front shell 12. The other end of the partition 68 and the interior 60 are detachably connected by two partition fasteners 60A, 68A and 60B, 68B. The fixed ends of the partition fasteners 60A and 68A are fixed to the inner periphery of the front shell 12 corresponding to the common seat surface 26 and to the partition 68, respectively. The fixed ends of the partition fasteners 60B and 68B are fixed to the inner periphery of the front shell 12 corresponding to the pickup handle 18 and to the partition 68, respectively.

[0022] When the other end of the partition 68 is detached from the interior 60, as shown in Figure 4(B), opening the fastener 66 of the interior 60 that extends along the connecting cover 56 of the front shell 12 to the lower end of the inner circumference of the front shell 12 corresponding to the pickup handle 18 creates an opening, as shown in Figures 5(A), (B), (C), and 6(B), exposing the base 22B of the caster 22 attached to the bottom surface inside the front shell 12. This allows the two casters 22, which are attached to the front shell 12 with small screws BS3, to be easily replaced with new ones. In addition, the lower support bracket 16BL and upper support bracket 16UL of each carry handle holder 16S, which are attached to the bottom surface inside the front shell 12 with small screws BS2, are exposed through the aforementioned opening. This allows the retractable carry handle 16 and the lower support bracket 16BL of each carry handle holder 16S to be easily replaced with new ones. Furthermore, by opening the fastener 66 of the interior 60, the retaining plate 42 of the footrest 40, which is attached between the interior 60 and the inner surface of the front shell 12 with small screws BS1, is also exposed. This makes it possible to easily replace the footrest 40 with a new one.

[0023] As shown in Figures 4(A) and (B), a partition 70 is provided in the interior 62 of the back shell 14, overlapping the surface of the interior 62. The partition 70, positioned at a predetermined distance from the inner periphery of the back shell 14, has a portion at its other end that corresponds to the shape of the common seat surface 26, facing the common seat surface 26. The partition 70 has a pocket 72. One end of the partition 70 is connected to the interior 62 at the lower end of the back shell 14. The other end of the partition 70 and the interior 62 are detachably connected by two partition fasteners 62A, 70A and 62B, 70B. The fixed ends of the partition fasteners 62A and 70A are fixed to the inner periphery of the back shell 14 near the connecting cover (hinge cover) 56 and to the partition 70, respectively. The fixed ends of the partition fasteners 62B and 70B are fixed to the inner circumference of the back shell 14, which corresponds to the common seat surface 26 described above, and to the partition 70, respectively.

[0024] The interior 62 has an opening that can be opened and closed by a fastener 64 that extends along the connecting cover 56 of the back shell 14 toward the lower end of the inner circumference of the back shell 14. When the other end of the partition 70 is detached from the interior 62, opening the fastener 64 of the interior 62 of the back shell 14 exposes, as shown in Figure 6(A), the base 22B of the caster 22 which is attached to the bottom surface inside the back shell 14 with small screws BS1, as well as the retaining plate 42 of the footrest 40 which is attached between the interior 62 and the inner surface of the back shell 14 with small screws BS1. This makes it easy to replace the caster 22 and the footrest 40 in the back shell 14 with new ones.

[0025] Therefore, if the footrest 40 is damaged in the front shell 12 or back shell 14, it can be easily replaced with a new footrest 40 by removing the small screw BS1 and taking out the damaged footrest 40.

[0026] Figure 7 schematically shows the appearance of a second embodiment of a carry case having a seat according to the present invention. In the examples shown in Figures 7, 8(A), (B), 9(A), (B), and 10(A), (B), the same reference numerals are used for components that are the same as those in the examples shown in Figures 1(A) and (B) above, and their redundant explanations are omitted. The zipper-type carry case 100 comprises a resin front shell 112 with an extendable carry handle 116 and a pickup handle 18 at the top, a resin back shell 114 which is connected to the front shell 112 by zippers 150 formed around the entire periphery of the front and sides of the front shell 112 so as to be able to be opened and closed and has zipper lock parts 20 (see Figures 9(A) and 9(B)) that lock the zipper pull tabs 150FA and 150FB, and two wheels (casters) provided spaced apart on the bottom surface of the outer periphery of the front shell 112 and the back shell 114. The main components include: 22, a catcher (grip) 130 foldably positioned in a recess 112RB formed in the upper part of the front of the front shell 112, a catcher (grip) 130 positioned in a recess 114RB formed in the upper part of the back of the back shell 114, a footrest 40 rotatable to accommodate in a recess 112RA at the lower part of the front of the front of the front shell 112, a footrest 40 rotatable to accommodate in a recess 114RA at the lower part of the back of the back shell 114, and a carry belt 24 whose ends are connected to predetermined positions on the front shell 112 and the back shell 114, respectively.

[0027] The maximum vertical height, horizontal width, and depth dimensions of the carry case 100 are set to approximately 590mm, 580mm, and 250mm, respectively. As shown in Figures 8(A) and (B), the footrest 40 is positioned below the point where the left end facing the right side of the upper part of the back shell 114 intersects with the common seat surface 126, which will be described later.

[0028] As shown in Figure 8(B), a carry handle housing section 112RC is formed in the upper recess of the front shell 112 to accommodate the handle portion of the carry handle 16 and two telescopic rods. The two telescopic rods of the carry handle 16 are movably inserted into each carry handle holder within the front shell 112 via two through holes in the carry handle housing section 112RC. In Figure 8(B), the right end of the front shell 112, which is located away from the position where the carry handle housing section 112RC is provided and facing the left side, extends toward the bottom of the front shell 112 substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the front shell 112 and intersects with and connects to a common seat surface 126 of the front shell 112 and the back shell 114. For example, as shown in Figure 8(A), the seat surface 126, on which a child CH, etc., can sit facing directly towards the carry handle 116, is formed substantially parallel to the bottom surfaces of the front shell 112 and the back shell 114. As shown in Figure 8(B), the dimension Lsa on the seat surface 126 that is substantially parallel to the bottom surfaces of the front shell 112 and the back shell 114 is set to be larger than the dimension Lsb of the corresponding common seat surface 26 in the first embodiment described above (see Figure 2(B)), for example, to about 260 mm.

[0029] In Figure 8(A), the left end of the back shell 114, which is opposite the right side of the back shell 114 corresponding to the common seat surface 126 described above, extends approximately perpendicular to the upper surface of the back shell 114 toward the bottom of the back shell 114, similar to the opposing front shell 112, and intersects with and connects to the common seat surface 26. Since the catchers (grips) 130 in the front shell 112 and back shell 114 shown in Figure 7 have the same structure, only the catcher (grip) 130 in the back shell 114 will be described.

[0030] The resin catcher (grip) 130, which serves as the gripping part, comprises a lever to be gripped and a base (not shown) that holds the lever perpendicular to the back surface of the back shell 114 and also holds the lever substantially parallel to the back surface of the back shell 114. The disc-shaped base comprises a fixing part having four holes spaced apart in the circumferential direction through which small screws for attaching to the inner circumference of the back shell 114 are detachably inserted, and a support shaft formed integrally with the fixing part to support the lever. Closer to the center than the four holes in the fixing part, a pair of crescent-shaped holes are formed into which the bifurcated projections at one end of the lever are inserted and held. A hinge pin (not shown), fixed to the support shaft inserted between each projection, is connected to each projection of the lever via the respective elongated holes in each projection of the lever. The cylindrical lever has through holes between the bifurcated projections at one end. As a result, when each projection of the lever is inserted into and held in its respective pair of holes, the lever protrudes from the back of the back shell 114 so as to be gripped. On the other hand, when the lever is not in use, after each projection of the lever is withdrawn from its respective hole, the other end of the lever rotates downward into the recess 114RB via the elongated holes and hinge pins of the projections. Therefore, when the lever is not in use, it is housed in the recess 114RB without protruding outward, thus preventing unwanted damage to the lever if the carry case 100 is accidentally knocked over.

[0031] As shown in Figures 9(A) and (B), the vertical dimension of the left side of the back shell 114 connected to the common seat 126 is set to be smaller than the vertical dimension of the right side of the back shell 114. The zipper lock section 20 for locking the zipper pull tabs 150FA and 150FB is provided in the central part of the left side of the back shell 114. As a result, the zipper lock section 20 is located in the central part of the left side of the back shell 114 connected to the common seat 126, where it cannot be easily seen by a child straddling the common seat 126, thus preventing a child straddling the common seat 126 from tampering with and operating the dial lock section while the carry case is in motion.

[0032] The storage space formed by the inner circumference of the front shell 112 and the back shell 114 is enclosed by an interior lining 160 that covers the inner circumference inside the zipper 150 of the front shell 112, an interior lining 162 that covers the inner circumference inside the zipper 150 of the back shell 114, and a connecting cover (hinge cover) 156 that connects the lower end of the front shell 112 and the lower end of the back shell 114, as shown in Figure 10.

[0033] A partition 168 is provided in the interior 160 of the front shell 112, overlapping the surface of the interior 160. The partition 168, positioned at a predetermined distance from the inner periphery of the front shell 112, has a portion at its other end that corresponds to the shape of the common seat surface 126, facing the common seat surface 126. The partition 168 has a pocket 174. One end of the partition 168 is connected to a connecting cover 156. The partition 168 and the interior 160 are detachably connected by two partition fasteners 168A, 160A, 168B, and 160B. When the other end of the partition 168 is detached from the interior 160, opening the fastener (not shown) of the interior 160 that extends along the side of the front shell 112 to the connecting cover 156 creates an opening, thereby exposing the base of the catcher (grip) 130 attached to the front shell 112 with small screws, the base of the caster 22 attached to the bottom surface inside the front shell 112 with small screws, and the support brackets of each carry handle holder attached to the bottom surface inside the front shell 112 with small screws through the aforementioned opening. This makes it possible to easily replace the catcher (grip) 130, caster 22, retractable carry handle 116, and the support brackets of each carry handle holder in the front shell 112 with new ones. Furthermore, by opening the fasteners on the interior 160, the small screws can be removed, and the fixing plate of the footrest 40, which is attached between the interior 160 and the inner surface of the front shell 112, can be removed, making it possible to easily replace a damaged footrest 40 with a new one.

[0034] As shown in Figure 10, a partition 170 is provided in the interior 162 of the back shell 114, overlapping the surface of the interior 162. The partition 170, which is positioned at a predetermined distance from the inner periphery of the back shell 114, has a portion at its other end that corresponds to the shape of the common seat surface 126, facing the common seat surface 126. The partition 170 has a pocket 172. One end of the partition 170 is connected to a connecting cover 156. The partition 170 and the interior 162 are detachably connected by two partition fasteners 170A, 162A, 170B, and 162B. If the other end of the partition 170 is detached from the interior lining 162, opening the fastener (not shown) of the interior lining 162, which extends along the side of the back shell 114 to the connecting cover 156, exposes the base of the catcher (grip) 130, which is attached to the back shell 114 with small screws, and the base of the caster 22, which is attached to the bottom surface inside the back shell 114 with small screws, similar to the front shell 112. This makes it easy to replace the catcher (grip) 130 and the caster 22 in the back shell 114 with new ones. Furthermore, by opening the fastener of the interior lining 162, the screws can be removed and the fixing plate of the footrest 40, which is attached between the interior lining 162 and the inner surface of the back shell 114, can be removed, making it easy to replace a damaged footrest 40 with a new one.

[0035] Therefore, if the catcher (grip) 130 and footrest 40 of the front shell 112 and back shell 114 are damaged, the damaged catcher (grip) and footrest can be easily replaced with new ones.

[0036] While the example of a carry case having a seat surface according to the present invention described above is applied to a zipper-type carry case, it is of course not limited to this example, and may also be applied to, for example, a frame-type carry case. [Explanation of Symbols]
