Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a travel bag, and more particularly to a handle structure that can be applied to various types of travel bags, in which components are firmly connected, assembly work is rapid, and it is convenient to use.

Background Art

[0002] <[ Many of the handle structures used in well-known travel bags are fixed to the main body of the travel bag by a plurality of screws, snap fits, rivets, etc. However, due to the complex assembly work, it is not suitable for mass production.

[0003] Also, when connecting the grip and the main body of the travel bag, if there is a lack of effective positioning or stability, the grip will sway when the grip is lifted or pulled, the connection will become loose, and eventually it will be damaged. This will have a significant impact on the quality of the product and the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, devising a handle structure that combines the convenience of installation and repair and the stability after connection has become an issue for technological improvement in the industry.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide a handle structure for a travel bag that enables rapid assembly work, improves the stability of positioning, smoothness during use, and durability, and can overcome the drawbacks of existing technologies.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the handle structure of the travel bag comprises a handle body, a mounting base, two connecting members, and a grip member. The handle body has two spacer holes. The mounting base has an upper base portion that abuts the handle body, a lower base portion connected to the two upper base portions, a first mounting groove corresponding to the two spacer holes of the handle body, and a first fitting portion located within the two first mounting grooves. The two connecting members are mounted in the spacer holes of the handle body and each has a second fitting portion that fits into the first fitting portion of the mounting base, two ear fitting grooves, and pin placement holes that connect to the two ear fitting grooves. The grip member has a gripping portion, ear portions corresponding to the ear fitting grooves of the two connecting members, and pins corresponding to the two pin placement holes.

[0007] More specifically, the two connecting members are fitted into the first mounting groove of the mounting base by fitting the first fitting portion of the mounting base and the second fitting portion of the connecting member together. Subsequently, the ears of the grip member are fitted into the ear fitting grooves of the connecting member, and the pins of the grip member are inserted into the pin placement holes of the connecting member, allowing the handle body, mounting base, connecting member, and grip member to be connected all at once, thus enabling quick installation.

[0008] In relatively preferable cases, each connecting member further has a lower section corresponding to the lower base of the mounting base. Since the lower section of the connecting member is movable, the connecting member can be finely adjusted according to the shape of the mounting base, improving the adaptability of the handle structure and flexibility during use.

[0009] In relatively preferable cases, the two first mating portions of the mounting base are positioned to face the same direction. The two second mating portions of the connecting member are also positioned to face the same direction. The identical orientation of the first mating portions and the identical orientation of the second mating portions allows the connecting member and the mounting base to be quickly fitted and secured in a single step. In other words, the efficiency of the mounting work and the stability of the structure can be improved.

[0010] In relatively preferable cases, the first fitting portion of the mounting base is concave, and the second fitting portion of the connecting member is convex. The first and second fitting portions are fitted together and secured by the corresponding concave and convex portions, thereby improving the sturdiness and durability of the handle structure.

[0011] In a relatively preferable case, the first fitting portion of the mounting base has a first fitting edge that exhibits a slope. The second fitting portion of the connecting member has a second fitting edge that exhibits a slope and corresponds to the first fitting edge. The force of rust generated by the mutual correspondence between the first fitting edge and the second fitting edge allows the connecting member and the mounting base to be fitted together so that they can move up and down, thereby improving the ease of attachment and detachment of the structure and the ability to repeatedly attach and detach it.

[0012] In a relatively preferable case, the first mounting groove of the mounting base has a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion. The first portion is wider than the second portion. When combining the connecting member and the mounting base, the stepped mounting groove allows for clear positioning of the connecting member, thereby improving mounting accuracy and fixing effect.

[0013] In a relatively preferable case, the mounting base has first fitting portions on both the left and right sides. The connecting member has second fitting portions on both the left and right sides. By fitting the first fitting portions on both the left and right sides and the second fitting portions on both the left and right sides symmetrically, tension can be distributed, improving the uniformity of stress distribution and the overall stability of the structure.

[0014] In relatively preferable cases, the pin placement holes of the connecting member have a pin placement surface that corresponds to the pins of the grip member. Due to the structural features described above, when the grip member is lifted, the wedge force generated by the contact between the pin placement surface and the pins ensures that the grip member does not get stuck or loosen, thus ensuring a smooth feel and durability.

[0015] In relatively preferable cases, the grip component has a grip body. The grip body has a gripping portion and ear portions. The pin is attached to the grip body. Due to the structural features described above, the handle structure can maintain a stable state by supporting the pin with the ear portions of the grip body, and is also convenient for attachment, detachment, and maintenance.

[0016] In relatively preferable cases, the mounting base has a lower fixing hole. The connecting member has an upper fixing hole corresponding to the lower fixing hole. The mounting base and the connecting member are secured by bolts passing through the lower fixing hole of the mounting base and being tightened into the upper fixing hole of the connecting member. The structural features described above can enhance the connection strength and stability of the mounting base and the connecting member during installation.

[0017] The detailed features, assembly, and usage methods of the travel bag handle structure according to this invention will be clarified through the detailed description of the embodiments below. Furthermore, it should be understood by anyone with common sense in the field of this invention that the following detailed description and the embodiments presented herein are merely examples for explaining this invention and cannot limit the scope of the claims of this invention.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, the handle structure of the travel bag according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0020] In the specification and drawings, nouns indicating directions are expressed based on the directions in the drawings. The same reference numerals indicate the structural features of the same or similar components.

[0021] 第 (One Embodiment) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the handle structure 1 of the travel bag according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a handle body 10, a mounting base 20, two connecting members 30, and a grip member 4.

[0022] The handle body 10 has a plate 11 and two spacer holes 12. The plate 11 is a part of the travel bag body or a part attached to the travel bag body. The spacer holes 12 are formed in the plate 11.

[0023] The mounting base 20 has a base upper part 21, two base lower parts 22, a first mounting groove 23, a first fitting part 24, and a lower fixing hole 25. The top 211 of the base upper part 21 abuts against the inside of the handle body 10. The two base lower parts 22 are connected below both sides of the base upper part 21. The first mounting groove 23 is recessed in the base upper part 21 and surrounded by the base lower parts 22. The first mounting groove 23 corresponds to the spacer holes 12 of the handle body 10 and has a first part 231 and a second part 232. The first fitting part 24 is formed in the first mounting groove 23. In the present embodiment, the first fitting part 24 is a triangular hole having a first fitting edge part 241 presenting a slope, but is not limited thereto. The lower fixing hole 25 is formed in the base lower part 22 and leads to the first mounting groove 23. In the present embodiment, the first fitting edge parts 241 of the two first fitting parts 24 are arranged in the same direction.

[0024] The two connecting members 30 each have a lower part 31, an upper part 32, a second fitting part 33, an ear fitting groove 34, a pin placement hole 35, and an upper fixing hole 36. The lower part 31 is inserted into the spacer hole 12 of the handle body 10 and fits into the first mounting groove 23 of the mounting base 20. The upper part 32 is connected above the lower part 31 and covers the outside of the handle body 10. The second fitting part 33 is connected below the lower part 31 and has a second fitting edge 331. The second fitting edge 331 corresponds to the first fitting edge 241 of the mounting base 20. The lower part 31 and the second fitting part 33 are detachably positioned in the first mounting groove 23 of the mounting base 20. The ear fitting groove 34 accommodates a portion of the grip member 4. The pin placement hole 35 is formed in the lower part 31 and connects to the ear fitting groove 34, contacting a portion of the grip member 4. The upper fixing hole 36 is formed below the lower part 31. The mounting base 20 and the connecting member 30 are joined by inserting bolts into the upper fixing hole 36 and the lower fixing hole 25 and tightening them.

[0025] More specifically, the second fitting portion 33 can be fitted into and removed from the first mounting groove 23 of the mounting base 20 from above, and is detachably attached to the first fitting portion 24 of the mounting base 20 from the left and right directions. In this embodiment, the pin placement hole 35 is a triangular hole having a pin placement surface 351 with an inclined surface, but it is not limited to this and may have another shape. The pin placement surface 351 is not limited to a straight line, but may be arc-shaped or have another shape. The grip member 4 slides along the pin placement surface 351 by a portion of it.

[0026] The grip member 4 has a grip body 40 and two pins A. The grip body 40 has a gripping portion 41 and two ear portions 42 connected to both ends of the gripping portion 41. The ear portions 42 are housed in ear portion fitting grooves 34 of the connecting member 30 and have perforations 421. The pins A are inserted into the perforations 421 and their sides contact the pin arrangement surface 351 of the connecting member 30.

[0027] More specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting base 20 has two first fitting portions 24. The first fitting portion 24 is a triangular hole with a concave portion and a first fitting edge portion 241. In contrast, the second fitting portion 33 of the connecting member 30 is a convex portion with a second fitting edge portion 331. The second fitting edge portion 331 and the first fitting edge portion 241 fit together. This design, which allows fitting through the interaction of inclined surfaces, enables the connecting member 30 to be inserted into and removed from the first mounting groove 23 of the mounting base 20 while simultaneously maintaining a stable state. In other words, it provides attachment and detachment functions in the vertical and horizontal directions, and enhances the structural strength and the ability to repeatedly attach and detach.

[0028] In this embodiment, the pin placement hole 35 is formed within the connecting member 30 and has a pin placement surface 351 formed on the hole wall. The pin placement surface 351 is sloped. The pin A of the grip member 4 corresponds to the pin placement surface 351. The pin A is inserted into the perforation 421 of the lug portion 42 of the grip body 40 and slides into the pin placement hole 35. The sloped pin placement surface 351 and the pin A come into contact with each other, generating appropriate weld force. Due to the structural features described above, when the grip member 4 is lifted, the grip member 4 is not only less likely to loosen, but the structural stability can also be maintained. When the grip member 4 is lowered, the grip member 4 returns to its original position. In other words, the smoothness and comfort of use can be improved. Furthermore, the tensile force can be effectively distributed by the corresponding pin placement holes and pins, reducing localized stress concentration, improving the durability of the handle structure, and extending its service life.

[0029] In this embodiment, the connecting member 30 is positioned such that its upper part 32 is exposed to the handle body 10 and its lower part 31 fits into the first mounting groove 23 of the mounting base 20, and the joint surface between the upper part 32 and the handle body 10 acts as a shielding interface. This prevents external moisture and dust from entering through the spacer hole 12 without increasing the number of parts, reduces wear and clogging between the pin placement hole 35 and the pin A, and improves reliability and weather resistance even outdoors, in dusty environments, and in humid environments.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting base 20 and the connecting member 30 are fixed by tightening bolts into the lower fixing hole 25 of the mounting base 20 and the upper fixing hole 36 of the connecting member 30. Therefore, when performing maintenance, only the connecting member 30 or the grip body 40 can be replaced without disassembling the handle body 10. This reduces maintenance man-hours, lowers the cost of parts, and meets the needs of industrial applications for mass production and after-sales maintenance.

[0031] As stated above, the present invention is not limited in any way to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Explanation of Symbols]
