The present invention relates to luggage, and more particularly to such a luggage that separates storage items of different nature.
Common luggage simply has one single storage chamber for storing different items. So, whether it's work items (such as laptops) or personal belongings (such as changing clothes), they are all mixed together. This manner causes a lot of inconvenience to the user when picking up the items. In the event that there is an urgent need to find a specific item so that the entire luggage is opened, it is prone to the embarrassing situation in which the private item is exposed. Even if the luggage is provided with an indefinite number of sub-bags on the structure, it may be difficult to use because of the size or quantity. Therefore, the luggage with one single storage chamber is necessary for improvement.
The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present to provide a luggage that separates items of different nature so that the user can select and pick up the items they need.
To achieve this object of the present invention, a luggage is provided to comprise a luggage main body, a partition board, an inner zip fastener, a luggage cover and an outer zip fastener. The luggage main body comprises a first storage chamber, and a rim extending around the first storage chamber. The partition board faces toward the first storage chamber of the luggage main body, having a bottom side thereof connected to a bottom side of the luggage main body. The inner zip fastener is provided on the rim of the luggage main body and the outer peripheral edge of the partition board to control opening and closing of the first storage chamber of the luggage main body. The luggage cover has the bottom side thereof connected to the bottom side of the luggage main body so that the luggage cover and the partition board define therebetween a second storage chamber. The outer zip fastener is provided on the rim of the luggage main body and the outer peripheral edge of the luggage cover to control opening and closing of the second storage chamber.
As can be seen from the above, the user can separately place items of different nature in the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber, for example, personal items (such as changing clothes) can be placed in the first storage chamber, and work items (such as notebooks, cameras, books, etc.) can be placed in the second storage chamber. The user can just open one of the abovementioned storage chambers to reach the items according to actual needs. This not only saves time in taking items, but also avoids the embarrassing situation in which private items are revealed because the user is looking for specific items for work.
Preferably, the partition board can be provided with one or more storage pockets on its one side that faces toward the luggage cover, so that the user can place small items such as batteries, memory cards, flash drives, transmission lines or power cords that may be easily dropped.
Preferably, one flexible connection member is disposed between the left side of the partition board and the left side of the luggage cover, one flexible connection member is disposed between the right side of the partition board and the right side of the luggage cover. Thus, the opening angle of the luggage cover is restricted by the two opposite flexible connection members.
Other advantages and features of the present invention will be fully understood by reference to the following specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference signs denote like components of structure.
Firstly, in the following embodiment and drawings, the same reference numerals are used to indicate similar or the same members or its structural features.
Referring to
The luggage main body 20 defines a first storage chamber 22 and a rim 24 extending around the first storage chamber 22. The luggage main body 20 comprises a lateral board 26 and a frame member 28. The frame member 28 surrounds and connects with a peripheral of the lateral board 26. The first storage chamber 22 is jointly defined by the lateral board 26 and the frame member 28. The rim 24 is provided on the frame member 28 and the rim 24 communicates with the first storage chamber 22. The lateral board 26 has an outer lateral surface 261 which is directed in a direction opposite to the first storage chamber 22. The outer lateral surface 261 is exposed outside the luggage 10 when the luggage 10 is closed. The lateral board 26 also has an inner lateral surface 262 which is disposed opposite to the outer lateral surface 261 and faces the first storage chamber 22.
The partition board 30 has an inner surface thereof facing toward the first storage chamber 22 of the luggage main body 20 and a bottom side thereof stitched (or connected) to a side of frame member 28 of the luggage main body 20. The partition board 30 directively covers the inner lateral surface 262.
The inner zip fastener 40 is provided on the rim 24 of the frame member 28 of the luggage main body 20 and the outer peripheral edge 32 of the partition board 30, so that the rim 24 of the luggage main body 20 and the outer peripheral edge 32 of the partition board 30 can be connected in a detachable manner. More specifically, the inner zip fastener 40 comprises a first inner set of zipper teeth 41, a second inner set of zipper teeth 42 and an inner zipper slider 43. The first inner set of zipper teeth 41 is stitched to the rim 24 of the luggage main body 20. The second inner set of zipper teeth 42 is stitched to the outer peripheral edge 32 of the partition board 30. The inner zipper slider 43 is coupled between the first inner set of zipper teeth 41 and the second inner set of zipper teeth 42. Thus, when the inner zip fastener 40 is unzipped, the partition board 30 can be opened, and the first storage chamber 22 of the luggage main body 20 is open. On the contrary, when the inner zip fastener 40 is zipped, the partition board 30 will cover the first storage chamber 22 of the luggage main body 20.
The luggage cover 50 faces toward an opposing outer surface of the partition board 30 and has a bottom side thereof stitched (or connected) to the side of the frame member of the luggage main body 20 so that the luggage cover 50 and the partition board 30 define therebetween a second storage chamber 54.
The outer zip fastener 60 is provided on the rim 24 of the frame member 28 of the luggage main body 20 and the outer peripheral edge 52 of the luggage cover 50, so that the rim 24 of the luggage main body 20 and the outer peripheral edge 52 of the luggage cover 50 are connected in a detachable manner. More specifically, the outer zip fastener 60 comprises a first outer set of zipper teeth 61, a second outer set of zipper teeth 62 and an outer zipper slider 63. The first outer set of zipper teeth 61 is stitched to the rim 24 of the luggage main body 20 to surround outside the first inner set of zipper teeth 41 of the inner zip fastener 40. The second outer set of zipper teeth 62 is stitched to the outer peripheral edge 52 of the of the luggage cover 50. The outer zipper slider 63 is coupled between the first outer set of zipper teeth 61 and the second outer set of zipper teeth 62. Thus, when the outer zip fastener 60 is unzipped, the luggage cover 50 can be opened, and the second storage chamber 54 is open. On the contrary, when the outer zip fastener 60 is zipped, the luggage cover 50 will cover the second storage chamber 54.
As can be seen from the above, the user can separately place items of different nature in the first storage chamber 22 and the second storage chamber 54, for example, personal items (such as changing clothes) can be placed in the first storage chamber 22, and work items (such as notebooks, cameras, books, etc.) can be placed in the second storage chamber 54. After that, just open one of the first storage chamber 22 or the second storage chamber 54 according to actual needs. This not only saves time in taking items, but also avoids the embarrassing situation in which private items are revealed because the user is looking for specific items for work.
On the other hand, a flexible connection member 56 is disposed between the left side of the partition board 30 and the left side of the luggage cover 50, one other flexible connection member 56 is disposed between the right side of the partition board 30 and the right side of the luggage cover 50. The opening angle of the luggage cover 50 is restricted by the two opposite flexible connection members 56, so as to prevent the items placed in the second storage chamber 54 from dropping to cause damage due to the opening angle of the luggage cover 50 being excessively large. In addition, the partition board 30 can be provided with one or more storage pockets 34 on its one side that faces toward the luggage cover 50, so that the user can place small items such as batteries, memory cards, flash drives, transmission lines or power cords that are easily dropped.
