Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0017] In order to further clarify the objects, technical means and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the technical means in the embodiments of the present invention will be more clearly and completely described below by combining the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
Examples
[0018] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the trunk that displays the design and interior decorations includes a case section 2, and in some embodiments, the case section 2 can be part of the trunk body. A base section 1 is provided inside the case section 2, and the design or color design affixed to the outer surface of the base section 1 can be displayed to the outside through the transparent or translucent case section 2.
[0019] A display section 3, or decorative layer, is interposed between the base section 1 and the corner protector 4. In some embodiments, the display section 3 is mounted between the outer surface of the base section 1 and the corner protector 4 and is affixable to the case section 2. The display section 3 is printed with a specific design or an item that identifies the individual. By mounting the display section 3 between the base section 1 and the corner protector 4 and displaying it externally through the transparent or translucent case section 2, the trunk can be designed with different display forms according to individual preferences, improving the aesthetic appeal and personalized display function of the trunk. At the same time, by opening the trunk, removing the base section 1 from inside the case section 2, and replacing it with a different form of display section 3, the customization needs of different people can be met.
[0020] The corner protector 4 can be selectively configured to have different colors or designs, which can be set according to actual needs and, when combined more favorably with the display unit 3, can improve aesthetics and individuality. For example, the color of the corner protector 4 may be red, yellow, pink, etc., and can be specifically selected according to individual needs, so it is not limited here.
[0021] In some embodiments, the base portion 1 has an open structure on one side and forms a trunk portion together with an article storage portion having a storage space for storing articles. Its outer shape matches that of the case portion 2 and it can be installed so as to directly cover the inside of one side (inside) of the case portion 2. In some embodiments, a plurality of corner protectors 4 are detachably provided on the outside of the base portion 1, and connecting points, such as connecting holes, are provided on the corner protectors 4. After the display portion 3 is installed on the outer surface of the base portion 1, the corner protectors 4 are attached to the four corners of the base portion 1, and a fixing structure 5, such as screws, sequentially penetrates the corner protectors 4 and the base portion 1, and then firmly fixes the display portion 3 between the base portion 1 and the corner protectors 4, thereby effectively reducing problems such as wrinkles forming on the display portion 3 and affecting its aesthetic appearance.
[0022] Selectively, the fixing structure 5 may be any one of hook-and-loop fasteners, snap buttons, hook buttons, clamps, and buckles, as long as it can fix the base part 1, the display part 3, and the corner protector 4 together, and is not specifically limited here.
[0023] Selectively, multiple sets of reinforcing ribs 6 are provided on the exterior of the base portion 1. By providing the reinforcing ribs 6, problems such as bending, denting, and deformation of the base portion 1 can be reduced.
[0024] Selectively, referring to Figure 2, on the base portion 1 and the bottom corner protector 4, in some embodiments, that is, on the lower corner protector 4, a plurality of grooves 7 are provided on its bottom, and these grooves 7 are used to retract structures inside the case portion 2, for example, to retract the protruding parts of the casters on the bottom of a carry case with a handle. In some other embodiments, grooves 7 may be provided on the top of the base portion 1, and these grooves 7 are used to retract the handle structure of a carry case with a handle.
[0025] Selectively, the external display and storage products according to the present invention include, in addition to trunks, suitcases, and carry-on cases with handles, backpacks, handbags, and storage systems. [Examples]
[0026] At least the front side of the case section 2 is a transparent or translucent shell, and the material can be a transparent material, such as PC transparent material. In some embodiments, the base section 1 can be placed in a location other than the case section 2 after removal, and in some other embodiments, the base section 1 does not need to be stored together with the case section 2 after removal, for example, the base section 1 may be left at home, and can be specifically adjusted according to actual needs. Decorative items such as stuffed animals can be placed inside the case section 2 to achieve the effect of displaying three-dimensional accessories through the transparent side of the case section 2. Figures 3 to 9 show the front view, rear view, left side view, right side view, top view, bottom view, and front right perspective view of the external display storage product of Embodiment 2. These figures are shown in grayscale in accordance with the terms of the patent application, but in reality the base section 1 can be colored in any color, and colorful decorative items can be stored inside the case section 2. [Examples]
[0027] The display unit 3 is molded directly onto the surface of the base unit 1, and for example, the design of the display unit 3 is printed directly onto the surface of the base unit 1, allowing the design on the surface of the base unit 1 to be visible through the transparent part of the case unit 2. In some other embodiments, the base unit 1 can be a drawing board, allowing DIY drawings to be made on the surface of the base unit 1 according to individual needs or preferences, and displayed outward through the transparent side of the case unit 2. Figures 10 to 15 show the front view, left side view, right side view, top view, bottom view, and front right perspective view of the external display storage product of Embodiment 3. The rear view of the external display storage product of Embodiment 3 is the same as that of Embodiment 2 shown in Figure 4, and is therefore omitted. These figures are also shown in grayscale in accordance with the patent application regulations, but designs of any color can be displayed on the surface of the base unit 1. [Examples]
[0028] Referring to Figure 16, the display unit 3 may be a mesh cover 8 that is placed over the outside of the base unit 1 and sandwiched between the transparent side of the case unit 2. Accessories such as badges can be attached to the mesh cover 8. This enhances the aesthetic appeal, and the accessories are interchangeable, allowing for customization according to individual needs and preferences. Figures 17 to 22 show the front view, left side view, right side view, top view, bottom view, and front right perspective view of the external display storage product of Embodiment 4. The rear view of the external display storage product of Embodiment 4 is the same as that of Embodiment 2 shown in Figure 4, so it is omitted. These figures are also shown in grayscale in accordance with the patent application regulations, but the surface of the base unit 1, the mesh cover 8, and the accessories attached to the mesh cover 8 can be of any color.
[0029] Those skilled in the art can implement or use the invention as described above for the embodiments disclosed herein. Various modifications of these embodiments are obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the invention is not limited to these embodiments disclosed herein, but rather conforms to the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
