Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of suitcases, and more particularly to a suitcase equipped with a removable vacuum bag.

Background Art

[0002] In a conventional suitcase, an original lining is installed on the inner wall of the case, and the inner wall of the case is beautified or blocked by the original lining.

[0003] Furthermore, in consideration of using a vacuum bag that can suck out air to create a vacuum in order to secure more space between the packed contents, a conventional suitcase creates more storage space in the suitcase by sucking out the air in the vacuum bag to make it vacuum and reducing the volume accordingly.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, all of the conventional ideas fix the vacuum bag in a non-removable manner inside the suitcase, so there is a problem that the vacuum bag cannot be replaced. Also, when the vacuum bag is fixed inside the suitcase, the original lining is permanently blocked in a non-removable manner, so the original lining loses its original effect and becomes an extra existence, and thus obvious improvements have been awaited.

[0005] As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that the above object can be achieved by adopting the following configuration, and have thus completed the present invention.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an example of the problem is to solve the above problems. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a suitcase equipped with a removable vacuum bag. The vacuum bag can be removed and reinstalled in the suitcase, and after the vacuum bag is attached to the suitcase, it can be used to replace the original lining and serve as the interior of the vacuum bag for accommodating contents.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, a suitcase equipped with a removable vacuum bag according to an aspect of the present invention includes a shell having a storage space and an opening of the shell communicating with the storage space, a vacuum bag having a front face where a fastener and an air suction nozzle are installed, and a first fastener and a second fastener that can be opened and closed with each other. The first fastener is installed on the shell so as to correspond to the opening of the shell, and the second fastener is a fixed fastener installed on the vacuum bag. The vacuum bag is removably fixed to the shell by the fixed fastener so as to be a part or all of the interior of the shell within the storage space.

Effects of the Invention

[0008] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. It has the effect of fixing the vacuum bag using the fixed fastener and being able to freely remove the vacuum bag. The vacuum bag can replace part or all of the original lining and be used as the interior of the vacuum bag of the shell. In this way, it combines the effects of the original lining and the effect of creating more space for accommodation by sucking out the air in the vacuum bag to create a vacuum.

[0009] From the description of the specification and drawings to be described later, at least the following matters will become clear.

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of a suitcase equipped with a removable vacuum bag of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the members, materials, etc. described below can be variously modified within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a suitcase (abbreviated as a suitcase) equipped with a removable vacuum bag according to an embodiment of the present invention replaces the inside of the suitcase with a removable vacuum bag 2, and various contents (not shown) are accommodated in the internal vacuum bag 2. The suitcase according to the present invention includes a shell 1, a vacuum bag (or inside the vacuum bag) 2, and a fixing fastener 3.

[0013] The shell 1 includes at least one case. Specifically, it includes a first case 11 and a second case 12 that can be opened and closed with each other. Incidentally, both the first case 11 and the second case 12 are cover-shaped case bodies having concave grooves. One of the cases (for example, the second case 12) may be a cover plate, and the other case (for example, the first case 11) may be a cover-shaped case body having a concave groove. The present invention is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the latter will be described as an example.

[0014] The shell 1 has a storage space 13. In the first case 11, an opening 111 of the shell is provided. The opening 111 of the shell communicates with the storage space 13. Specifically, it has a plurality of inner edges (the reference numerals of the members are not marked) that surround each other. The second case 12 covers the opening 111 of the shell. Incidentally, the first case 11 surrounds the storage space 13 and has a plurality of inner walls 112 of the case (for example, including four side walls and a bottom wall) where the original lining is not installed, and the original lining is all a beautifying layer or a blocking layer added to the inner walls 112 of the case (this is one of the many effects of the vacuum bag (inside the vacuum bag) 2 according to the present invention).

[0015] The vacuum bag 2 is a bag body that is removable and can suck out air to create a vacuum. It has a front surface 21 and a space inside the bag (the reference numeral of the member is not shown). An opening 29 of the bag (see FIG. 3) is provided on the front surface 21. A fastener 24 and an air suction nozzle 25 are further installed on the front surface 21. The opening 29 of the bag communicates with the space inside the bag. The fastener 24 is an airtight (non-venting) fastener and is installed on the front surface 21 so as to correspond to the opening 29 of the bag. The air suction nozzle 25 also communicates with the space inside the bag and is an air valve that is ventable only in one direction and cannot supply air in the reverse direction.

[0016] The fixing fastener 3 includes a first fastener 31 and a second fastener 32 that can be opened and closed with each other. The first fastener is installed on the first case 11 so as to correspond to the opening 111 of the shell, and the second fastener 32 is installed on the vacuum bag 2.

[0017] Specifically, the vacuum bag 2 further has a plurality of side edges (for example, including three side edges 22 and one side edge 23 that enclose each other) that enclose corresponding to the front surface 21. The three side edges 22 are connected to each other as shown in the figure to form a U shape. The second fastener 32 may be installed only on any one of the side edges 22 (not shown in the figure), or may be installed on the three side edges 22 so as to present a U shape as shown in the figure. The installation of the second fastener 32 of the present invention will be described by taking the latter as an example. The aforementioned side edge 23 is the side edge where the second fastener 32 is not installed among the plurality of side edges, and is used as the empty edge 231. The first fastener 31 may be installed on the first case 11 (not shown in the figure) so as to correspond to only any one of the inner edges of the opening 111 of the shell, or may be installed on the first case 11 so as to correspond to the three inner edges of the opening 111 of the shell that are connected to each other as shown in the figure. The installation of the first fastener 31 of the present invention will be described by taking the latter as an example.

[0018] In such a case, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the vacuum bag 2 is removably fixed to the first case 11 by the fixing fastener 3, and a part or all of the original lining is replaced so that the vacuum bag 2 located in the storage space 13 becomes the inside of the first case 11 (inside the vacuum bag). At the same time, the front surface 21 and the bag opening 29 opened on the front surface 21 are exposed so as to correspond to the opening 111 of the shell. Preferably, the bag opening 29 where the fastener 24 is installed is installed at an intermediate position between the two side edges 22 spaced apart from each other. The user can accommodate various contents in the vacuum bag 2 (see FIG. 1). When more space is required in the suitcase, by sucking out the air in the vacuum bag 2 to make it vacuum, the volume of the vacuum bag 2 containing the contents (for example, clothes) can be reduced, and thus more space for accommodation can be created (see FIG. 4).

[0019] When evacuating the air to create a vacuum, various suction pumps (a vacuum cleaner may be used) are utilized to suck the air inside the bag from the air suction nozzle 25. In other embodiments not shown, a method where the user manually pushes out the air for exhaust may also be employed, and the same effect can be achieved with this method.

[0020] Incidentally, the vacuum bag 2 has a front surface 21 and a plurality of bag surfaces 26 (including, for example, four side surfaces and a bottom surface). When the vacuum bag 2 is fixed within the first case 11, each bag surface 26 adheres closely to the inner wall 112 of each aforementioned case, replacing it to be inside the first case 11. Thus, in order to fix the vacuum bag 2 using the fixing fastener 3, the vacuum bag 2 is removable from the suitcase and can be reinstalled within the suitcase. That is, it has the effect of freely exchanging the vacuum bag 2. For example, the vacuum bag 2 can be removed and washed, dried, or exchanged for another vacuum bag, or exchanged for the original lining where the second fastener 32 is installed. Also, since the vacuum bag 2 can replace a part or all of the original lining and becomes the inside of the first case 11 (inside the vacuum bag), it combines the existing effects of the original lining and the effect of creating more storage space by accommodating the contents.

[0021] Moreover, the bag opening 29 where the fastener 24 of the vacuum bag 2 is installed is provided on the front surface 21, and by exposing the front surface 21 so as to correspond to the opening 111 of the shell, the user can expose the opening 111 of the shell and the fastener 24 by simply opening the second case 12. Therefore, for the vacuum bag 2 fixed within the suitcase, when the user opens the second case 12, the user can directly operate the fastener 24 from the opening 111 of the shell, and can directly stuff, take out, or adjust the contents from the bag opening 29. Thus, it has the effect of making the use very convenient. The air suction nozzle 25 may be installed on the front surface 21, and has the effect of facilitating the evacuation of the air in the vacuum bag 2 to create a vacuum.

[0022] The present invention has a simple structure, further has the effect of not being complicated, is difficult to malfunction or be damaged, and only slightly increases the weight of the suitcase. In addition, since one end of the fastener 24 corresponds to the empty edge 231 (see FIGS. 3 and 4), it has the effect of facilitating the opening of the fastener 24.

[0023] The vacuum bag 2 may be further provided with a hook portion 27. After being removed, the vacuum bag 2 can be hung on a wall or the like by the hook portion 27 (see FIG. 2). Specifically, the hook portion 27 is installed on the front surface 21.

[0024] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
