Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of suitcases, specifically to suitcases.

Background Art

[0002] A general suitcase consists of shells that open and close facing each other. When it is necessary to open the suitcase, first the suitcase needs to be laid on its side, and then the two shells need to be unfolded. As a result, a certain amount of space is required to open the suitcase. However, during travel, when it is necessary to take items out of the suitcase, it is difficult to find appropriate space to open the suitcase. For example, on a train or in a car, the space is too narrow to fully unfold the two shells of the suitcase, making it inconvenient to take items in and out of the suitcase.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described.

[0014] A suitcase, including a case body 1, four casters 6 are provided in a rectangle at the lower end of the case body 1, a carry handle assembly 2 is provided at the rear end of the case body 1, a first opening 3 is provided at the upper end of the case body 1, a first cover 4 is provided to match the first opening 3, a second opening is provided at the front end of the case body 1, and a second cover 7 is provided to match the second opening.

[0015] When the first cover 4 at the top of the suitcase is opened, items at the upper end of the suitcase can be taken in and out. When the second cover 7 at the front end of the suitcase is opened, items at the central part and further at the lower end of the suitcase can be taken in and out. Items can be taken in and out just by standing the suitcase upright without laying it down horizontally, and the space required to open the suitcase is significantly reduced, improving convenience.

[0016] Furthermore, one side edge of the first cover 4 is hingedly connected to the case body 1, the other side edge of the first cover 4 is connected to the case body 1 via a first fastener, one side of the second cover 7 is hingedly connected to the case body 1, and the other side edge of the second cover 7 is connected to the case body 1 via a second fastener.

[0017] Furthermore, the first cover 4 is further connected to the case body 1 via a first dial lock mechanism 10, and the second cover 7 is further connected to the case body 1 via a second dial lock mechanism. The first dial lock mechanism 10 and the second dial lock mechanism use general technical means used in conventional suitcases, improving the anti-theft performance of the suitcase.

[0018] Furthermore, a groove 12 recessed inward is provided at the lower end of the case body 1. The horizontal cross-section of the groove 12 is rectangular, and the edge of the groove 12 is transitionally arranged in an arc shape.

[0019] Furthermore, a plurality of first convex protrusions 8 are provided on the surface of the case body 1. The length of the first convex protrusions 8 is arranged vertically. A plurality of second convex protrusions 11 are provided on the second cover 7. The length of the second convex protrusions 11 is arranged horizontally. A plurality of third convex protrusions 9 are provided on the first cover 4. The first convex protrusions 8, the second convex protrusions 11, and the third convex protrusions 9 increase the strength of the case body 1, the second cover 7, and the first cover 4.

[0020] Furthermore, a handle 5 is provided at the upper end of the first cover 4. The handle 5 can be used to conveniently lift the suitcase.

[0021] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of this utility model.
