Definitions

the invention relates to a suitcase according to the preamble of claim 1.
Such shell case see eg US 3,623,580 whose case shells are preferably made of plastic or metal and which are hinged together at an edge of the case shells, are known. At the edges of the case shells frame members are provided which have a locking device to close the case.
the invention is based on the object to provide a case of the type mentioned, in which at least one of the main surfaces of the case can be designed individually by the user.
the invention provides that at least one case shell at least partially consists of a transparent plastic and that behind the transparent part of the case shell, a space for receiving a sheet is arranged with a figure.
the invention makes it possible advantageously to use the case shell individually by inserting a sheet with a photographic image or a graphic representation in the manner of a removable frame.
the transparent part of the case shell is preferably located on the main surface of the case shell.
the suitcase can then be individually provided with a company name, with an advertisement or with a picture by the owner.
the owner of the suitcase can make one or both cases according to his own individual ideas.
At least one case shell has an outer shell and an inner shell, wherein the respective outer shell consists at least partially of a transparent plastic.
the outer shell is preferably formed entirely of transparent plastic, but may also be designed only partially transparent. The transparent outer shell supports the inserted into the space sheet, so that the performance characteristics of the case are not affected.
the outer shell and / or the inner shell is bordered by the frame element of the respective case shell. Preference is given to the enclosure of both shells of the respective case shell, which in principle it is also possible to enclose only the outer shell or only the inner shell in the frame member.
a punched cut is preferably provided in the inner shell, in order to allow the insertion of the sheet into the intermediate space.
the punching cut defines a support surface of the inner shell, which can accommodate the sheet with the image.
the punched section is guided so that the support surface remains integrally connected along a straight edge with the inner shell.
the straight edge allows pivoting of the support surface to insert the sheet into the space and to position on the support surface.
the inner shell is preferably covered by an at least partially releasable inner lining. Due to the at least partial solubility of the inner lining, the sheet can be inserted into the intermediate space.
the interior design of the suitcase does not deviate from a conventional suitcase due to the lining.
the case shells are preferably made of polycarbonate.
the frame members of the case shells can be made of plastic or metal.
the frame members are formed of a Kederband, which comprises the edge of a suitcase shell and is sewn together with a zipper closure device and the edge.
Fig. 1 shows a case 1 with two case shells 2,3, which are hinged together at the bottom of the case to open an upper case shell 3 can.
a Locking device 4 provided in the form of a zipper, which is sewn together with Kederb Sn 5a, 5b with the edges of the case shells 2.3.
Fig. 3 shows at the lower edge of a hinge member 20, with which the two case shells are connected 2.3 hinged together.
FIGS. 1 and 3 show a case 1 with unequal sized shell parts 2,3, wherein the lower larger case shell 2 on the upper case surface has a handle 16.
a lock 18 preferably a combination lock, can additionally be arranged, to which the pull tabs of the zipper can be fastened and locked.
the case shells 2,3,7,8 are preferably made of polycarbonate.
the upper case shell 3 consists of a transparent outer shell 7 and a through-dyed in the same manner as the case shell 2 inner shell 8. Both the outer shell 7 and the inner shell 8 are sewn to the welt strip 5b and the zipper.
a lining 15 is attached to the inside of the inner shell 8, wherein the inner lining 15 is releasably secured at least in the upper region, for example with a hook and loop fastener 15 or a revolving Velcro.
a gap is provided between the outer shell 7 and the inner shell 8, a gap is provided in which, as best seen in Fig. 2, a sheet 10 can be inserted with a figure.
the inner shell 8 is provided with a punched cut 9, which makes it possible, a part of the inner shell 8, which forms a support surface 6 for the sheet 10, inwards to pivot, as shown in Fig. 2, to be able to insert the sheet 10 in den.Zwischenraum.
the punched cut 9 is preferably made on three sides of the support surface 6 of the inner shell 8, so that the support surface 6 is pivotable about a straight edge 11 almost in the manner of a film hinge.
Fig. 1 the apparent on the sheet 10 illustration through the transparent outer shell 8 can be seen.
the image on the sheet 10 may represent a photographic image, a graphic representation, a company name or the like.
both case shells 2.3 can be equipped to accommodate a sheet 10. Even the side surfaces of the case shell 2 could be designed accordingly.
Fig. 1 shows a case in which the case shell 2 and the outer shell 7 has a horizontal groove structure 18, while Fig. 3 shows such a case with smooth case surface.
FIG. 4 shows a cross section through the case shell 3 of the embodiment according to FIG. 1, in which the outer shell 7 has the groove structure 18.
the inner shell 8, which receives the sheet 10 on the support surface 6, has a smooth outer surface on.
the exemplary embodiment shows that a blade 10 can also be used with a non-planar surface of the outer shell 7.
