Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Handhaben eines Rollenkoffers.The invention relates to a device for handling a roller case.

Es sind mit Rollen versehene Koffer bekannt, die in einer ihrer vertikalen Schmalseitenwände im Bereich einer oberen Schmalseitenkante ein Gehäuse mit einem unter Federwirkung selbstaufrollenden Zugband aufweisen, das es ermöglicht, den Koffer zu ziehen. Ferner sind Koffer bekannt, die im Bereich einer Schmalseitenkante einen Traggriff aufweisen, mit welchem der Koffer zum Rollen angehoben werden kann.Suitcases provided with rollers are known which have in one of their vertical narrow side walls in the region of an upper narrow side edge a housing with a drawstring which is self-rolling under spring action and which makes it possible to pull the suitcase. Cases are also known which have a carrying handle in the region of a narrow side edge, with which the case can be raised for rolling.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, eine Einrichtung zum Handhaben eines Rollenkoffers zu schaffen, welche die Vorteile beider bekannten Vorrichtungen hat und sowohl ein Anheben als auch ein Ziehen des Koffers ermöglicht. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß das Zugband an seinem freien Ende mit einem Handgriff versehen ist, der die Schmalseitenkante eng benachbart übergreift und an seinem freien Ende in einer Rastausnehmung der horizontalen oberen Schmalseitenwand des Koffers schwenkbar und lösbar verankert ist.The invention aims to provide a device for handling a roller case, which has the advantages of both known devices and enables both the lifting and the pulling of the case. This is achieved according to the invention in that the drawstring is provided at its free end with a handle which engages closely around the narrow side edge and is pivotably and detachably anchored at its free end in a locking recess in the horizontal upper narrow side wall of the case.

Durch diese Konstruktion wird erreicht, daß der Koffer entweder durch Lösen des Handgriffes aus der Rastausnehmung gezogen oder durch Schwenken des Handgriffes um die Rastverankerung angehoben werden kann.This construction ensures that the case can either be pulled out of the locking recess by loosening the handle or raised by pivoting the handle around the locking anchor.

Vorzugsweise ist die Rastausnehmung in der horizonta­len oberen Kofferschmalseitenwand durch einen im Quer­schnitt wannenförmigen Einsatz gebildet, der von gegenüber­ liegenden Wannenseitenwänden über einen Teil der Wannen­länge und über den Wannenboden auskragende Rippen aufweist, wobei im Wannenboden und in den Rippen einander zugeordnete kreisbogenförmige Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sind, mit welchen zwei seitliche, im wesentlichen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisende Zapfen am freien Handgriffende in Eingriff versetzbar sind. Nach einem weiteren Erfindungsmerkmal weisen die seitlichen Zapfen zwei einander gegenüber­liegende parallele Abflachungen auf, deren gegenseitiger Abstand geringfügig kleiner als der Abstand der Unterseite der Rippen vom Wannenboden ist.The latching recess in the horizontal upper case narrow side wall is preferably formed by an insert which is trough-shaped in cross section and which is opposite lying tub side walls over a part of the tub length and projecting ribs over the tub floor, wherein in the tub floor and in the ribs associated circular arc-shaped recesses are provided, with which two lateral, substantially circular cross-section pins at the free end of the handle can be engaged. According to a further feature of the invention, the lateral pegs have two mutually opposite parallel flats, the mutual distance of which is slightly smaller than the distance between the underside of the ribs and the tub floor.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an einem Ausführungs­beispiel unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläu­tert, in welcher ein Querschnitt durch die erfindungsgemäße Griffanordnung gezeigt ist.The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing, in which a cross section through the handle arrangement according to the invention is shown.

Im Bereich einer oberen Schmalseitenkante eines mit Rollen versehenen Koffers ist in einer vertikalen Schmal­seitenwand S ein Gehäuse 1 für ein unter Federwirkung selbstaufrollendes Zugband 2 angeordnet, an dessen aus dem Gehäuse 1 herausragenden Ende ein Handgriff 3 aus Kunst­stoff mit im wesentlichen rechteckigem Querschnitt be­festigt ist. Die Ausbildung und Verankerung des Gehäuses sowie des Zugbandes sind dem Fachmann bekannt und erfordern keine nähere Beschreibung. Der Handgriff 3 ist entsprechend der Schmalseitenkante gekrümmt und erstreckt sich zur angrenzenden horizontalen oberen Schmalseitenwand S′. In dieser ist ein wannenförmiger Einsatz 4 aus Kunststoff untergebracht. Von einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Einsatzes ragen über den Wannenboden 5 Rippen 6 aus, u.zw. von dem dem freien Handgriffende entgegengesetzten Ende der Wanne her. Sie enden mit Abstand vor dem dem freien Handgriffende zugekehrten Wannenende. Der Wannen­boden 5 und die Rippen 6 weisen jeweils einander zugeord­nete kreisbogenförmige Ausnehmungen 7 auf.In the area of an upper narrow side edge of a suitcase provided with casters, a housing 1 for a drawstring 2 that is self-retracting under spring action is arranged in a vertical narrow side wall S, to the end of which protrudes from the housing 1, a plastic handle 3 with an essentially rectangular cross section is fastened. The design and anchoring of the housing and the tension band are known to the person skilled in the art and do not require any further description. The handle 3 is curved according to the narrow side edge and extends to the adjacent horizontal upper narrow side wall S '. A trough-shaped insert 4 made of plastic is accommodated in this. 5 ribs 6 protrude from the side walls of the insert opposite one another, etc. from the end of the tub opposite the free handle end. They end at a distance from the end of the tub facing the free handle end. The trough base 5 and the ribs 6 each have circular arc-shaped recesses 7 which are assigned to one another.

Das freie Ende des Handgriffes 3 ist gegen die horizontale obere Schmalseitenwand S′ hin abgewinkelt und weist zwei seitliche Zapfen 8 auf, die den Ausnehmungen 7 angepaßten Kreisquerschnitt haben, jedoch mit zwei parallelen Abflachungen 9 versehen sind, deren gegenseiti­ger Abstand geringfügig kleiner als der Abstand der Rippenunterseite vom Wannenboden ist. Die Abflachungen 9 ermöglichen es, das Griffende zwischen den Rippen 6 und dem Wannenboden in die Ausnehmungen 7 zu schieben. Durch Verschwenken des Handgriffes um die Zapfen 8 kommen die Kreisbogenabschnitte derselben mit den Kreisbogenaus­nehmungen 7 der Rippen und des Wannenbodens formschlüssig in Eingriff und der Griff ist in der Wanne verankert. In dieser Stellung kann der Handgriff unter Herausziehen eines Teiles des Zugbandes verschwenkt und der Koffer sodann angehoben werden. Wird ein Ziehen des Koffers gewünscht, so wird das Handgriffende aus der Wanne gelöst und dient als Griff für das Zugband.The free end of the handle 3 is angled against the horizontal upper narrow side wall S 'and has two lateral pins 8, which have the recesses 7 adapted circular cross-section, but are provided with two parallel flats 9, the mutual distance of which is slightly smaller than the distance of the Rib bottom of the tub floor is. The flattened portions 9 make it possible to push the end of the handle into the recesses 7 between the ribs 6 and the trough bottom. By pivoting the handle around the pin 8, the circular arc sections of the same come into positive engagement with the circular arc recesses 7 of the ribs and the tub base, and the handle is anchored in the tub. In this position, the handle can be pivoted while pulling out part of the drawstring and the case can then be raised. If you want to pull the case, the handle end is released from the tub and serves as a handle for the drawstring.

Es versteht sich, daß das erläuterte Ausführungs­beispiel im Rahmen des allgemeinen Erfindungsgedankens abgewandelt werden kann. So könnten die Rippen 6 federnd verformbar ausgebildet und die Zapfen 8 bzw. die Rippen 6 so dimensioniert sein, daß für das Einschieben des Handgriffendes eine bestimmte Kraftanwendung erforderlich ist, wodurch die Zapfen mit Schnappwirkung einrasten. Im Falle der federnd verformbaren Ausbildung der Rippen könnte auf die Abflachungen an den Zapfen überhaupt verzichtet werden.It is understood that the illustrated embodiment can be modified within the scope of the general inventive concept. Thus, the ribs 6 could be designed to be resiliently deformable and the pins 8 or the ribs 6 could be dimensioned such that a certain application of force was required for inserting the end of the handle is, whereby the pins snap into place. In the case of the resiliently deformable design of the ribs, the flats on the pins could be dispensed with at all.
