The drawings show some, but not all, examples of the present invention. The present invention can be realized in many different forms and is not limited to the examples described herein. Instead, the purpose of providing these examples is to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the contents disclosed in the present invention. All other examples that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the examples of the present invention without any technical effort fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0014] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terms used in the description of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the suitcase provided by the present invention has a main body 10 formed by connecting a first box body 101 and a second box body 102 to each other. Specifically, the first box body 101 and the second box body 102 are both containers for storing clothes or other items, and one side of each body is made of flexible fabric, plastic, rubber, or connected by a hinge to allow relative rotation, so that the first box body 101 and the second box body 102 can be opened and closed relative to each other. The other side of the first box body 101 and the second box body 102 can be opened and closed by operating a connecting part 30. For example, the connecting part 30 may be a second zipper (the first zipper will be described later) for connecting the first box body 101 and the second box body 102. Alternatively, the connecting part 30 may include a frame that is fixedly installed on the first box body 101 and the second box body 102 with rivets, respectively, and can connect the first box body 101 and the second box body 102 to each other. For example, it may be an aluminum frame. Casters 50 are installed on the bottoms of the first box body 101 and the second box body 102 to make it easier to move the suitcase. A first handle 1011 and a second handle 1012 are provided on the top and side of the first box body 101, respectively, to make it easier for the user to lift it.
[0016] The present invention is characterized in that an opening 1021 is provided on the front of the second box 102, and a lid 20 is installed on the opening 1021. Specifically, the lid 20 is rotatably connected to one side of the opening 1021, and the other side of the lid 20 is connected to the other side of the opening 1021 by a first fastener 40, thereby enabling the lid 20 to be opened and closed.
[0017] More specifically, preferably, the opening 1021 is formed in a rectangular shape having two long sides parallel to each other and two short sides parallel to each other, and one side of the lid 20 is rotatably connected to one long side of the opening 1021.
[0018] The cover 20 may be composed of multiple covers. For example, in the embodiment shown in the drawings of the present invention, the cover 20 may include a first cover 201 and a second cover 202, where the area of the first cover 201 is larger than that of the second cover 202. One side of the first cover 201 and one side of the second cover 202 are rotatably connected by a connecting portion 203, and the other side of the first cover 201 and one side of the opening 1021 are rotatably connected. The connecting portion 203 may be made of, for example, a flexible fabric material, plastic, rubber material, or a hinge. In other words, the other side of the first cover 201 is rotatably connected to the second box 102, and the remaining two sides of the first cover 201 and the remaining three sides of the second cover 202 are jointly connected to the remaining side of the opening 1021 that is not connected to the first cover 201 by a first fastener 40. The first zipper 40 preferably has two handles, i.e., an upper handle 401 and a lower handle 402, so that the opening 1021 can be quickly opened and closed by pulling the upper handle 401 and the lower handle 402 in opposite or the same direction along the first zipper 40.
[0019] 1, with the suitcase structure of the present invention described above, when a user operates the first zipper 40 to close the edge of the first cover 201 corresponding to the opening 1021 and the edge of the second cover 202 corresponding to the opening 1021, the first cover 201 and the second cover 202 together completely close the opening 1021. At this time, the upper handle 401 and the lower handle 402 can be engaged with the lock 60 to lock the suitcase.
[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, the first box body 101 and the second box body 102 are closed, and when a user needs to take out a large item from the main body 10, the user can open the portions of the first zipper 40 corresponding to one long side and two short sides of the opening 1021 by operating the upper handle 401 and the lower handle 402. In other words, the first zipper 40 does not close either the side corresponding to the opening 1021 of the first lid 201 or the side corresponding to the opening 1021 of the second lid 202, allowing the first lid 201 and the second lid 202 to rotate together relative to the second box body 102 and opening the large opening 1021.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 3, when the first box body 101 and the second box body 102 are closed and the user needs to take out only small items from the main body 10, the user can operate the upper handle 401 to open the portion of the first zipper 40 that corresponds to the opening 1021 of the second lid 202, and the portion of the first lid 201 that corresponds to the opening 1021 remains closed. At this time, the second lid 202 can be rotated relative to the first lid 201 to open part of the opening 1021.
[0022] The lids 20 provided on the second box body 102 of the present invention are not limited to two lids, but may be provided in more numbers, so that the user can conveniently choose to open a small opening or a large opening when putting items in or taking items out of the suitcase, and the organized arrangement of clothes and items inside the suitcase will not be disturbed even during use.
