The upper shell structure 524 may also include a bottom portion 538 connected to a first end 534 of the upper shell structure 524 and configured to support the suitcase 100 on a surface such as a table, the ground, or the like.
Similar to the example suitcase 100, both the upper shell 524 and the lower shell 508 may each be formed as a unitary, or single, member such that each shell is seamless. Additionally, the upper shell 524 and the lower shell 508 may be free of any apertures or openings that pierce or extend from an exterior surface into the respective interior voids 503, 505 of the base 502 and lid 504 when the various components of the suitcase 500 are assembled to the shells 524, 508. Shells 508, 524 may generally have a thickness within a range of 2 mm and 4 mm, or within 1.5 mm and 6 mm. The shells 508, 524 may also include varying wall thicknesses. As another feature, the shells 508, 524 may include external ribs (or rubrails) 509, which may be arranged along an outer or inner surface of the lower shell 108 and the upper shell 524 to increase the stiffness and strength of the shells as well as to protect the shells from impacts.
Upper shell 524 and lower shell 508 may form the majority of the exterior of the suitcase 500 and each may have a contoured shape that includes a primary surface, a raised surface, and a plurality of recesses, where the recesses may protect the components from collisions or damage. For example, the upper shell 524 may include a raised outward facing surface 540 that extends near and/or along the second end 520 around the perimeter of the upper shell 524. The raised outward facing surface 540 may be offset a fixed distance from an outward facing primary surface 542 of the upper shell 524. A plurality of upper latch recesses 544 and hinge recesses 545 may be formed within the raised surface 540. Each upper latch recess 544 may have a depth equal to or greater than the thickness of each of the latch assemblies 180 to provide protection for the latch assemblies 180. In some examples, each upper latch recess may have a rear surface 544A, an upper surface 544B, and a pair of opposing side surfaces 544C, and an opening 544D opposite the upper surface 545B. The upper recess depth of latch recess 544 may be defined as the horizontal distance between the outward facing surface 540 to the rear surface 544A. The upper latch recesses 544 may have a substantially rectangular shape, or alternatively a shape that closely matches the shape of the latch assembly 180. Each latch recess 544 may have receiving features to secure a latch assembly 180 within the recess 544. The receiving features may include a pocket on either side of the recess 544 to receive a pin or other mounting hardware for the latch assemblies 180. Similarly, each hinge recess 545 may be formed within the raised surface 540. Each upper hinge recess 545 may have a depth equal to or greater than the thickness of each of each hinge 506 to provide protection for hinge 506 from impacts.
Similar to the upper shell 124, the lower shell 508 may include a primary outward facing surface 546, a raised outward facing surface 548 that extends near and/or along the second end 536 around the perimeter of the lower shell 508. The raised outward facing surface 548 may be offset a fixed distance from a primary outward facing surface 546 of the lower shell 508. A plurality of lower latch recesses 550 and lower hinge recesses 551 may be formed within the raised surface 548. Each lower latch recess 550 may have a depth equal to or greater than the thickness of each of the latch assemblies 180. The lower latch recesses 550 may have a depth that is generally the same as the depth of the upper latch recess 544. In some examples, each lower latch recess 550 may have a rear surface 550A, an upper surface 550B, and a pair of opposing side surfaces 550C, and an opening 550D opposite the upper surface 550B. The lower recess depth of lower latch recess 550 may be defined as the horizontal distance between the outward facing surface 548 to the rear surface 550A. The latch recesses 550 may include a latch keeper 182 that extends across the lower recess 550 and provides an engaging surface for the latch assembly 180 to secure the lower shell 508 to the upper shell 524. Each latch recess 550 may have a substantially rectangular shape, or alternatively a shape that closely matches the shape of the latch assembly 180. The shape and size of the latch recesses 544, 550 may be mirror images of each other to and may be aligned to form a larger recess to receive the entire latch assembly 180 when the suitcase 500 is in a closed configuration. By receiving the entire latch assembly 180 within this larger recess, the exposed surfaces of latch assembly 180 may be below outward facing surfaces 540, 548 and also protected around the sides of the latch assembly 180 such that when the suitcase is in the closed configuration, a perimeter of the latch assembly 180 may be located within a combined perimeter of the upper latch recess 544 and lower latch recess 550.

The shape and size of the recesses 545, 551 may be mirror images of each other to and may be aligned to form a larger recess to receive the entire hinge 506. The larger recess formed from recesses 545, 551 may have a shape that surrounds a majority of the perimeter of the hinge assembly 506.
As shown in
As another option to releasably secure the interior liner 600 to within the interior void 503 of the base shell 508 or interior void 505 of the lid shell 524, the liner 600 may include a liner attachment assembly 620 that releasably engages a base attachment member 639.
The base attachment member 639 may include a first wall 641 and a second wall 643 where each wall 641, 643 may extend away from the interior surface 507 of the base shell 508 with a first end 645 at the interior surface and a second end 647 opposite the first end 645. The first wall 641 may include a first base locking projection 649 located at the second end 647 that extends toward the second wall 643, where the second wall 643 includes a second base locking projection 649 located at the second end that extends toward the first wall 643. The first wall 641 and second wall 643 may be spaced a fixed distance from each other. Each of the base locking projections 649 may include a contoured edge shape 651 to receive the tail member 622 such that the body member 624, the contoured edge shape 651, and the opening 631 may be coaxial with each other when the attachment assembly 620 is in a locked position.
The liner attachment assembly 620 may be moved to a locked position from an unlocked position by rotating the grip member 634 a predetermined amount in a first direction, and may be moved to an unlocked position from a locked position by rotating the grip member 634 a predetermined amount in a second direction, where the second direction is opposite the first direction. For example, the liner attachment assembly 620 may be moved to a locked position from an unlocked position by rotating the grip member 634 approximately 90 degrees in a first direction, and may be moved to an unlocked position from a locked position by rotating the grip member 634 approximately 90 degrees in a second direction, where the second direction is opposite the first direction. In some examples, the grip member 634 may be moved to a predetermined amount in the same direction to move the attachment assembly 620 from a locked position to an unlocked position. When in the locked position, the locking projection of the liner attachment assembly is at least partially positioned underneath the first base locking projection or the second base locking projection.
The liner may include a plurality of liner attachment assemblies 620 that may be attached to the base attachment members 639. For examples, the liner attachment assemblies 620 may be located within the storage cavities 602 or within anywhere on the liner 600 such as the sidewalls or bottom surface. Similarly, the shells 508, 524 may include a plurality of base attachment members 639 that may be arranged anywhere along the interior surfaces of the corresponding shell. For examples, base attachment members 639 may be placed along the interior side surfaces and/or bottom surfaces of the shells 508, 524. As another option, backpack 300 may also include the liner attachment assemblies 620 and may be releasably secured to the shells 508, 524 as described above.
In addition, both the base 502 and lid 504 may include a plurality of mounts or plugs 556 that attach to the interior surfaces 507, 525 respectively.

As shown, the gasket 576 may be arranged in a recess 577 arranged on the lower surface 537 at the second end 536 of the lid 504. The base 502 may have a sealing rib 581 arranged along the upper surface 521 at the second end 520 of the base 502 that engages the gasket 576 when the suitcase 500 is in the closed configuration. In addition, when the suitcase 500 is in the closed configuration, the engagement of the gasket 576 and the sealing rib 581 may prevent the upper surface 521 of the base 502 from contacting the lower surface of the lid 504, where the upper surface and the lower surface and the fourth end surface are spaced apart from each other where the lid 504 is spaced apart a fixed distance from the base 502 creating a gap between them. The gasket 576 may be formed from a rubber or polymeric material and in some examples, have a substantially circular cross-section. Alternatively, the gasket 576 may be arranged in a recess or channel formed in the base 502.
As shown in
In addition, the base 502 of suitcase 500 may include a tapered region 523 between the bottom portion 522 and the fourth surface 516. The tapered region 523 may be located between the pair of wheel assemblies 564 and form an acute angle with the central region of the bottom portion 522. This tapered portion may extend at an angle within a range of 1 degree and 30 degrees when measured from the central portion of the bottom portion 522 to a lower surface of the tapered region 523 (or tangent plane to a lower surface of the tapered region 523). Tapered portion 523 allows suitcase 500 to be pulled using the trolley handle 400 in a larger variety of positions to accommodate users having different heights.
Each linkage 626 may have a top surface 640 and a bottom surface 642 opposite the top surface 640 as well as side surfaces 644 extending between the top and bottom surfaces 640, 642. A pair of holes 646 may extend through the side surfaces 644 where the holes 646 receive the linkage pins 632. For example, linkage 626 may include a first linkage opening 646 that receives a first linkage pin 632 that extends through the opening 646 into an opening in the base hinge insert 628 and a second linkage opening 646 that receives a second linkage pin 632 that extends through the opening 646 into an opening in the lid hinge insert 630. Thus, each linkage 626 is connected to both the base 502 and the lid 504. In addition, the bottom surface 642 may include a slot 648 that receives one of the linkage pins 632 when the suitcase is in the closed configuration and a slot 650 on the top surface 640 that receives one of the linkage pins 632 when the suitcase is in the open configuration. The linkages 626 may be arranged adjacent each other where the first linkage may be oriented with the top surface 640 facing toward the top perimeter of both the lid 504 and the base 502 when the suitcase 500 is in the open configuration and the second linkage may be oriented with the bottom surface 642 facing toward the top perimeter of both the lid 504 and the base 502 when the suitcase 500 is in the open configuration as shown in
Each of the base hinge insert 628 and lid hinge insert 630 may have a generally rectangular shape when viewed from the left side view of the suitcase 500. As discussed above, each hinge insert 628, 630 has a hinge recess 636, 638, where each hinge recess is open on one end and surrounded by a hinge insert wall on the remaining sides. When installed, the open end of each recess 636, 638 may align with each other to form an overall hinge recess to receive the linkages 626 and allow them to move. Each hinge insert 628, 630 may have a hinge flange 652 extending from the hinge insert wall at the end of the hinge insert 628, 630 that has the open end of the recess 636, 638. The hinge flange 652 may have at least one opening to receive the mechanical element 621 that secures the hinges 506 within the respective hinge recesses 550, 551 of the base 502 and lid 504.
Similar to the configuration of suitcase 100, the feet 572 may be generally aligned with one or more of the hinges 506 where a flat portion of the feet 572B are spaced from an edge of a hinge 506. In addition, the feet 572B may be arranged to contact one another when the suitcase 500 is fully opened to reduce the impact forces on the hinges and the other components of the suitcase 500 when it is opened as shown in
The components of the hinge assembly 506 such as the linkages 626, hinge inserts 628, 630, linkage pins 632, may be formed of metallic materials such as steel or aluminum to provide adequate strength and stiffness. Alternatively, these components may be formed from a polymeric material or composite material such as a fiber-filled polymer. The components may be manufactured using known methods such as casting, machining, and molding.
Similar to suitcase 100, suitcase 500 may include a plurality of wheel assemblies 564 positioned near the rear and bottom corners of suitcase 500. As shown in
Each wheel assembly 564 may be formed as a separate member, as shown in
As shown in the illustrated examples, the suitcase 500 may comprise a pair of wheel assemblies 564, however, in other embodiments the suitcase may include additional wheel assemblies 564. The wheel assemblies 564 may be evenly spaced apart and may be located on the outer edges of the suitcase 500 such that the wheel housing 566 is exposed on at least three sides of the base 502. The housing 566 may be formed from a polymer material, such as a polyamide (nylon) or similar material, w646le the wheels 568 may be formed from a polymer material, such as a polyurethane, or similar material. In some examples, the wheels 568 may include a rubber coating or rubber exterior for better traction and wear.
As discussed above, the base 502 may include a lower shell 508 and the lid 504 may include an upper shell 524 to provide a rigid structure that may form a barrier to protect the stored contents. The lower and upper shells 508, 524 may be formed from various materials, such as one or more metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, or fiber-reinforced materials. In some examples, the upper and lower shells 124, 108 may be formed of a polymer material, such as a polycarbonate alloy, a thermoplastic olefin (TPO), or other similar material, that is molded to form both the shells 508, 524. In some arrangements, the shells 508, 524 are formed using injection molding or roto-molding/rotational molding processes as would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art (not shown). In order to further enhance the structure, the shells 508, 524 may include elongated rib structures to further stiffen the structure in areas around the latch assemblies 180 and hinges 506. For instance, as shown in
As shown in
The major extrusion 420, minor extrusion 430, and tertiary extrusion 460 may each be formed as a single unitary piece, where each extrusion 420, 430, 460 may have a substantially constant cross-sectional profile.
As illustrated in
As best illustrated in
As shown in
Since each mounting clip 470 is arranged to allow the movement of the major extrusion 420 in only one direction, the mounting clip 470 may be mounted on the suitcase in a manner to ensure its proper operation. Each mounting clip 470 may have a pocket 493 on the rear side 480 that may engage a boss 155 arranged in the tow pull recess 154. Each boss 155 may have an asymmetrical shape along at least one plane that intersects the axis of the blind holes 159 that engages pocket 493 having a corresponding asymmetrical shape. The bosses 155 may be arranged in pairs to engage the pockets 493 arranged on the each mounting clip 470. For example, as shown in
In addition, as a means of creating a secure installation of the trolley handle 400 to the suitcase, the central spring arm 488 of the mounting clip 470 may provide a horizontally oriented force to help further secure the extrusion assembly 410 to the shell 108 and reduce any vibration within the trolley handle 400 relative to the suitcase 100. As discussed above, the central spring arm 488 may extend outward from the front side 478 of the central body 472 toward the bottom end 476. The spring arm 488 may have a fixed end 489 on the front side 478 of the mounting clip 470 and a free end 490 spaced away from the front side 478. The free end 490 may contact the portion of the outer wall 429 of the major extrusion 420 that is positioned between the central opening 422 and the channel 424. As the free end 490 contacts the outer wall 429, the central spring arm 488 is compressed and as it is compressed it exerts a force against the major extrusion 420 to reduce any vibration and keep the trolley handle 400 secured to lower shell 108.
The extrusion assembly 410 may have a means to keep dirt and debris from causing the extrusions 420, 430, 460 from binding as they move relative to each other. Each extrusion 420, 430, 460 includes a central opening 422, 432, 462 respectively to allow any dirt or debris that enters the assembly 410 to pass easily through the center. Additionally, as shown in
Additionally, the bottom cap 450 of each extrusion assembly 410 may provide a means to further secure the trolley handle 400 to the suitcase 100 and also provide a means to allow dirt and debris to exit each extrusion assembly 410. The bottom cap 450 may be inserted into central opening 422 at the bottom of major extrusion 420. As shown in
Similar to extrusion assembly 410, extrusion assembly 710 may have a nested arrangement. The major extrusion 720 may have a central opening 722 surrounded by an outer wall 729, where the central opening 722 has a generally rectangular shape with an alignment member 729A arranged on the rear side of the outer wall 729. The alignment member 729A may be a centrally located indention along the outer wall 729 extending into the opening 722 to help align the other extrusions 730, 760 within the openings 722, 732 as they move relative to each other. While the exemplary alignment member 729A has a trapezoidal shape, the alignment member 729A may be curved, triangular, or other geometric shape. The minor extrusion 730 may have an exterior surface 734 with a shape or profile that generally corresponds to the shape of the opening 722 of the major extrusion 720 such that the minor extrusion 730 may be slidably engage with opening 722. Similarly, the exterior surface 764 may have a shape or profile that generally corresponds to the shape of the central opening 732 of the minor extrusion 730 such that the tertiary extrusion 760 may slidably engage opening 732 of the minor extrusion 730. The grip portion 702 may be secured to the tertiary extrusion 760 of each of the extrusion assemblies 710. In some instances, the minor extrusion 730 may comprise the uppermost extrusion of the trolley handle assembly 700 and have the grip 702 secured between pair of minor extrusions 730.
Like the extrusions of trolley handle assembly 400, the major extrusion 720, minor extrusion 730, and tertiary extrusion 760 may each be formed as a single unitary piece, where each extrusion 720, 730, 760 may have a substantially constant cross-sectional profile as shown in

Additionally, as shown in
Similar to grip portion 402, the release button 711 may be coupled to a rack and pinion gear assembly 735 as shown in
In some embodiments, this disclosure relates to a suitcase comprising a lid rotatably connected to a base, where the lid may include an upper shell formed as a unitary member and where the base includes a lower shell formed as a unitary member. The suitcase may be configured in an open orientation or a closed configuration, where in the closed configuration, a plurality of latch assemblies secure the lid to the base. In addition, the upper shell and the lower shell may be free of apertures or openings extending from an exterior surface through an interior surface. As another option, the latch assemblies may be located within an upper latch recess and a lower latch recess located on the lid and base respectively. Additionally, a wheel assembly comprising a housing, a wheel, and an axle may be formed as a separate member and received in a recess formed on the lower shell.
The present disclosure is disclosed above and in the accompanying drawings with reference to a variety of examples. The purpose served by the disclosure, however, is to provide examples of the various features and concepts related to the disclosure, not to limit the scope of the invention. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize that numerous variations and modifications may be made to the examples described above without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
