[0009] The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this specification, directional terms such as up and down, left and right, top, bottom, inside, and outside are expressed based on the direction in which they are normally used.

[0010] (First Embodiment) As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the travel bag 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a box body 10, a zipper connecting member 20, a zipper 30, and a lid 40.

[0011] The box body 10 is composed of a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 that join together, and has a first connecting part 15, four casters 17, and a pull handle 18. The first shell 11 has a first side wall 111 and a first ring wall 112. The first side wall 111 is connected to the first ring wall 112. The second shell 12 has a second side wall 121 and a second ring wall 122. The second side wall 121 is connected to the second ring wall 122. The first side wall 111 and the second side wall 121 are arranged relative to each other. The first side wall 111, the first ring wall 112, the second ring wall 122, and the second side wall 121 constitute a storage space 13 for storing luggage. The first side wall 111 has an opening 14. The opening 14 connects to the outside of the box body 10 and to the storage space 13. As shown in Figure 7, the first connecting part 15 is arranged in a ring shape around the opening 14. The first joint 15 is integrally connected to the first side wall 111 and extends into the interior of the box body 10. The first joint 15, the first side wall 111, and the first ring wall 112 form a concave groove 16. Four casters 17 are attached to the bottom of the box body 10 to support it. A pull handle 18 is located on the second shell 12.

[0012] As shown in Figures 4 to 7, the fastener connecting member 20 is an annular thin piece, positioned inside the box body 10, and has a second connecting portion 21 and a first annular protruding edge portion 22. As shown in Figure 7, the second connecting portion 21 has an adhesive portion 211 and a bent portion 212. The bent portion 212 has opposing ends that are separately connected to the adhesive portion 211 and the first annular protruding edge portion 22. The adhesive portion 211 is bonded to the first annular wall 112 of the box body 10 by adhesive tape or high frequency. The bent portion 212 of the second connecting portion 21 fits into the concave groove 16, integrally connecting the fastener connecting member 20 and the box body 10 and reinforcing the overall structural strength of the box body 10. The first annular protruding edge portion 22 is positioned inside the opening 14 so as to extend outward. In this embodiment, the first annular protruding edge portion 22 does not protrude into the opening 14, but is positioned inside the opening 14 and positioned so as to fit into the annular sleeve 71.

[0013] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the fastener 30 has a first tooth member 31, a second tooth member 32, and a slider 33 (see Figure 4). The first tooth member 31 has first teeth 311 and a first connecting portion 312. The first connecting portion 312 has a first connecting portion 313 and a first connecting portion 314. The first connecting portion 313 and the first connecting portion 314 are made from the same fabric. The opposing ends of the first connecting portion 313 are separately connected to the first tooth 311 and the first connecting portion 314. The first connecting portion 313 is integrally connected to the first connecting portion 314 and shields the first connecting portion 314. In other words, the first connecting portion 313 is repeated at the boundary with the first connecting portion 314 and shields the first connecting portion 314. The second tooth member 32 has second teeth 321 and a second connecting portion 322. The second connecting portion 322 has a second connecting portion 323 and a second connecting portion 324. The second connecting portion 323 and the second connecting portion 324 are made from the same fabric. The opposing ends of the second connecting portion 323 are separately connected to the second teeth 321 and the second connecting portion 324. The second connecting portion 323 is integrally connected to the second connecting portion 324 and shields the second connecting portion 324. In other words, the second connecting portion 323 is repeated at the boundary with the second connecting portion 324 and shields the second connecting portion 324. The slider 33 interlocks the first teeth 311 and the second teeth 321 to form a single unit. The first connecting portion 314 is connected together with the annular sleeve 71 to the first annular protruding edge portion 22 of the fastener connecting member 20.

[0014] As shown in Figures 4 and 7, the lid 40 is positioned outside the box body 10 so as to correspond to the opening 14 of the box body 10, and has an outer plate 41 and a second annular projection edge 42. The second annular projection edge 42 is connected along the outside of the outer plate 41 and is positioned to extend toward the opening 14 of the box body 10, i.e., the second shell 12. The second annular projection edge 42 and the first annular projection edge 22 are positioned so as to be aligned. That is, the second annular projection edge 42 and the first annular projection edge 22 have the same direction of extension and are positioned so that their outer surfaces are on the same plane. The second annular projection edge 42 is positioned to fit into another annular sleeve 71. The second gear member 32 is connected to the second annular projection edge 42 together with the annular sleeve 71.

[0015] Due to the structural features described above, in the first embodiment of the travel bag 1, the position of the first annular protruding edge 22 of the zipper connecting member 20 and the position of the second annular protruding edge 42 of the lid 40 are aligned. Therefore, in the manufacturing process, the first connecting portion 314 of the first gear member 31 and the first annular protruding edge 22 of the zipper connecting member 20 are joined together, the first gear member 31 and the second gear member 32 are straightened out and the second connecting portion 324 of the second connecting portion 322 of the second gear member 32 is repeated, and then the second connecting portion 324 and the second annular protruding edge 42 are joined together with the annular sleeve 71. In other words, the present invention allows for easy sewing of the zipper 30 without the need to bend the first tooth member 31 or the second tooth member 32 during the sewing process, as is the case with conventional travel bags. The sewn zipper 30 can then be joined and fixed to the first annular protruding edge 22 and the second annular protruding edge 44. Therefore, the present invention suppresses distortion of the zipper 30 and enables the manufacture of a high-quality travel bag 1. Furthermore, since the first connecting portion 313 and the second connecting portion 323 are repeated to shield the sewing thread L of the first connecting portion 314 and the second connecting portion 324, the present invention effectively improves the overall aesthetics of the travel bag 1 without the need to add decorative tape to shield the sewing thread L, as is the case with conventional zippers.

[0016] (Second Embodiment) As shown in Figure 8, the travel bag 1' according to the second embodiment of the present invention is compatible with conventional zippers and has the same structure as the travel bag 1 according to the first embodiment. The difference from the travel bag 1 according to the first embodiment is the addition of two decorative tapes 72. In the second embodiment, the two decorative tapes 72 are separately connected integrally with the annular sleeve 71. The first tooth member 31 and the second tooth member 32 are separately sewn together with the annular sleeve 71 to the first annular protruding edge 22 and the second annular protruding edge 42. The sewing threads of the first tooth member 31 and the second tooth member 32 are shielded by the two decorative tapes 72.

[0017] (Third embodiment) As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the travel bag 1 according to the third embodiment of the present invention has a box body 10 and a fastener 30. The box body 10 has a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 spaced apart from each other. The first shell 11 has a first opening edge portion 111. The second shell 12 has a second opening edge portion 121. Since the fastener 30 is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. If the first engaging portion 314 of the first engaging tooth member 31 of the fastener 30 and the first opening edge portion 111 of the first shell 11 are joined together, and the second engaging portion 324 of the second engaging tooth member 32 and the second opening edge portion 121 of the second shell 12 are joined together, the fastener 30 will be sewn straight and spread between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12.

[0018] Summarizing the above description, the features of the travel bag according to the present invention are as follows.

[0019] In the present invention, in order to align the positions of the first annular protruding edge portion 22 of the fastener connecting member 20 and the second annular protruding edge portion 42 of the lid 40 by the fastener connecting member 20, the operation of bending the fastener 30 is not required, and the attachment of the fastener 30 can be simplified.

[0020] Compared with the prior art in which a decorative tape is added to the fastener of the travel bag to shield the sewing thread, the present invention does not use a decorative tape, and the first engaging portion 314 and the second engaging portion 324 are shielded by the first connecting portion 313 and the second connecting portion 323, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0021] In the present invention, the fastener 30 can be sewn straight and spread on the first annular protruding edge portion 22 and the second annular protruding edge portion 42, that is, the distortion of the fastener 30 can be suppressed.

[0022] As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention.
