Description

MALETA SUITCASE
DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
La presente invención se refiere a un maletín o maleta destinado a su uso temporal y/o desechable, por ejemplo, para recoger documentación y/o regalos en eventos tales como ferias, convenciones, etc.The present invention relates to a briefcase or suitcase intended for temporary and / or disposable use, for example, to collect documentation and / or gifts at events such as fairs, conventions, etc.
En los últimos años se ha producido una multiplicación a nivel mundial del número de convenciones, ferias y eventos similares. Las empresas, instituciones y hombres de negocios encuentran en tales eventos un foro en el que intercambiar información, tecnología, o simplemente se realizan contactos comerciales. El citado intercambio de información se produce habitualmente en forma de documentos tales como folletos, libros explicativos, o incluso en forma de regalos tales como pequeñas maquetas, botellas, muestras de producto, etc.In recent years there has been a worldwide multiplication of the number of conventions, fairs and similar events. Companies, institutions and businessmen find in such events a forum in which to exchange information, technology, or simply make business contacts. The aforementioned exchange of information usually occurs in the form of documents such as brochures, explanatory books, or even in the form of gifts such as small models, bottles, product samples, etc.
Por ello, el asistente a tales eventos va acumulando durante su visita diversos documentos y objetos que debe ir transportando simultáneamente, y necesita un medio para almacenar y transportar los documentos y/o objetos que va acumulando.Therefore, the assistant to such events accumulates during his visit several documents and objects that must be transported simultaneously, and needs a means to store and transport the documents and / or objects that he accumulates.
Habitualmente vienen utilizándose bolsas para resolver este problema. Las bolsas tienen en problema de presentar un espacio de almacenaje muy reducido, por lo que el usuario va acumulando cada vez más bolsas. Disponer de varias bo;lsas a la vez dificulta considerablemente el manejo de las mismas. En particular, cuando el usuario necesita liberar la mano que sujeta las bolsas, debe dejarlas habitualmente en el suelo, en una posición que generalmente resulta inestable, y posteriormente, debe agacharse, sujetar de manera cuidadosa cada una de las asas de las bolsas a la vez y levantarlas. Además, habitualmente las bolsas se realizan en material plástico, no ecológico. Por otro lado, el usuario debe sujetar en suspensión la bolsa durante el transporte. Esta manera de llevar las bolsas resulta incómoda y poco ergonómica, pudiendo provocar esfuerzos laterales sobre la columna vertebral que deben ser evitados.Bags are usually used to solve this problem. The bags have the problem of presenting a very small storage space, so the user is accumulating more and more bags. Have several bo ; At the same time, their handling is considerably difficult. In particular, when the user needs to release the hand that holds the bags, he must usually leave them on the ground, in a position that is generally unstable, and subsequently, he must bend down, carefully fasten each of the handles of the bags to the time and lift them up. In addition, the bags are usually made of plastic material, not ecological. On the other hand, the user must hold the bag in suspension during transport. This way of carrying the bags is uncomfortable and not very ergonomic, and can cause lateral efforts on the spine that should be avoided.
También se conocen maletines de mano realizados por doblado de un material laminar, que presentan los mismos problemas que las bolsas antes referidas, presentando por regla general un espacio de almacenaje más reducido que las bolsas y una mayor dificultad de manejo.Also known are handbags made by folding a sheet material, which have the same problems as the aforementioned bags, generally presenting a smaller storage space than the bags and a greater difficulty of handling.
Es un objetivo de la presente invención dar a conocer una maleta para su uso en ferias, convenciones y similares que resulte de cómodo manejo, de fácil almacenaje, montable fácilmente por el usuario, ligera y de bajo coste.It is an objective of the present invention to disclose a suitcase for use in fairs, conventions and the like that results in convenient handling, easy storage, easily mountable by the user, light and low cost.

The area -16- in the part of figure 6 also has a flange -17- with a cut, so that it can rotate around the axis -18-.
En relación con esta característica, la figura 7 muestra cómo se introduce el conjunto de ruedas -3- en la zona -16- de la maleta según la invención. La pestaña -17- es doblada por su eje de giro -18- según se indica mediante la flecha -A- y el eje -24- es introducido en la zona -16- mediante un movimiento tal como el representado mediante la flecha -B-. Cuando el eje -24- está introducido en el espacio -16-, se lleva la pestaña -17- a su posición -18-, con lo que el conjunto de ruedas -3- queda fijado al cuerpo -1-, pero con capacidad de giro, como se observa en la figura 8. Alternativamente, se puede prescindir de esta configuración de pestaña -17- con eje de giro -18- e introducir por un orificio -16- el eje de giro -24-, y posteriormente acoplar la rueda -23- a dicho eje -24-.In relation to this feature, Figure 7 shows how the wheel assembly -3- is introduced in the area -16- of the suitcase according to the invention. The flange -17- is bent by its axis of rotation -18- as indicated by the arrow -A- and the axis -24- is introduced into the zone -16- by a movement such as that represented by the arrow -B-. When the axle -24- is inserted in the space -16-, the flange -17- is brought to its position -18-, whereby the wheel assembly -3- is fixed to the body -1-, but with capacity of rotation, as seen in Figure 8. Alternatively, this flange configuration -17- with rotation axis -18- can be dispensed with and inserted through a hole -16- the rotation axis -24-, and subsequently coupled the wheel -23- to said axis -24-.
La realización de la maleta a partir de un material laminar mediante doblado permite un transporte y un almacenaje fácil y económico de la maleta en posición desplegada y extendida. Al poderse montar la maleta únicamente mediante sencillas operaciones de doblado, solapado e introducción de pestañas en ranuras, montándose las ruedas igualmente mediante este sistema, sin necesidad de pegar o realizar uniones mecánicas complicadas, se permite la realización de una maleta ligera y transportable, que puede ser montada in situ incluso por el propio usuario, y una vez utilizada ser desechada o almacenada de nuevo desmontada y en posición extendida.The realization of the suitcase from a folded sheet material allows easy and economical transport and storage of the suitcase in an unfolded and extended position. By being able to mount the suitcase only through simple operations of folding, overlapping and introducing tabs in grooves, the wheels being mounted equally by this system, without the need to glue or make complicated mechanical joints, it is possible to carry out a light and transportable suitcase, which it can be mounted on site even by the user himself, and once used it must be discarded or stored again disassembled and in an extended position.
La maleta podrá ser comercializada desmontada, suministrando al cliente las piezas laminares troquelados de las figuras 5 y 6, así como el conjunto de ruedas -3-, con un considerable ahorro de costes.The suitcase can be sold disassembled, supplying the customer with the die cut pieces of figures 5 and 6, as well as the wheel assembly -3-, with considerable cost savings.
La figura 9 muestra otra realización de una maleta según la presente invención, que se diferencia del ejemplo anteriormente mostrado en que las ruedas -3- se colocan de manera más exterior al cuerpo -1- para hacer más fácil su manejo. También la abertura -4- se encuentra situada en la cara superior del cuerpo de almacenaje -1-. En esta figura puede apreciarse, además, como la maleta es asida por la mano de un usuario mientras las ruedas -3- descansan sobre el suelo, con lo que proporcionando una ligera inclinación a la maleta, ésta puede deslizarse sobre el suelo a través del giro de sus ruedas, permitiendo así un cómodo traslado de los objetos contenidos en la maleta.Figure 9 shows another embodiment of a suitcase according to the present invention, which differs from the example shown above in that the wheels -3- are placed more externally to the body -1- to make handling easier. Also the opening -4- is located on the upper face of the storage body -1-. In this figure it can also be seen how the suitcase is held by the hand of a user while the wheels -3- rest on the ground, thus providing a slight inclination to the suitcase, It can slide on the ground through the rotation of its wheels, thus allowing a comfortable transfer of the objects contained in the suitcase.
Las figuras 10 a 12 muestran una realización alternativa de la presente invención. Los elementos equivalentes a los elementos de las realizaciones mostradas se han indicado con idénticos numerales. Esta realización pretende obtener una ventaja adicional de la capacidad de doblado por la base que presentan los brazos alargados -7- y -8- de las realizaciones de las figuras 1 a 9, cuando la maleta está realizada en un material laminar flexible. La figura 11 muestra dicho doblado. Sin embargo, la maleta queda habitualmente afectada dimensionalmente por dicho doblado y no recupera totalmente la forma original. Para asegurar que la maleta recupera su forma original, se ha dotado a los brazos alargados -7- y -8-, en su base, de sendas aletas -71-, -81- que rodean los brazos alargados -7-, -8- e insertables en ranuras correspondientes situadas en los brazos alargados -7-, -8-, de manera tal que aseguran éstos en su posición de trabajo, incluso después de un doblado. También puede observarse que, en esta realización, las aletas de apoyo -25-, -25'- han sido dobladas e insertadas en una ranura -251- correspondiente de la base inferior del cuerpo de almacenamiento, de tal manera que el apoyo de las aletas -25-, -25'- se realiza sobre un área superficial del material laminar que conforma la maleta, delimitada dos líneas de doblado sucesivas.Figures 10 to 12 show an alternative embodiment of the present invention. The elements equivalent to the elements of the embodiments shown have been indicated with identical numerals. This embodiment aims to obtain an additional advantage of the folding capacity by the base of the elongate arms -7- and -8- of the embodiments of Figures 1 to 9, when the suitcase is made of a flexible sheet material. Figure 11 shows said bending. However, the suitcase is usually dimensionally affected by said folding and does not fully recover the original shape. To ensure that the suitcase returns to its original shape, the elongated arms -7- and -8-, at its base, have fins -71-, -81- that surround the elongated arms -7-, -8 - and insertable in corresponding grooves located in the elongated arms -7-, -8-, in such a way that they secure them in their working position, even after folding. It can also be seen that, in this embodiment, the support fins -25-, -25'- have been folded and inserted into a corresponding slot -251- of the lower base of the storage body, such that the support of the fins -25-, -25'- is made on a surface area of the sheet material that forms the suitcase, delimited two successive folding lines.
Como material del cuerpo de almacenaje -1- y del asa -2- podrá elegirse cualquier material laminar válido para su doblado, tal como un material celulósico o similar. Como material de las ruedas también podrá elegirse un material celulósico, en especial si es uno suficientemente resistente, o plástico, pero preferentemente podrá utilizarse madera. En general se preferirán aquellos materiales ligeros y que sean respetuosos con el medio ambiente para proporcionar a la maleta objeto de la presente invención características de ligereza y de reciclabilidad.As material of the storage body -1- and of the handle -2- any sheet material valid for bending can be chosen, such as a cellulosic material or the like.
