Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to a suitcase, in particular to a portable suitcase with an electronic combination locking device.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

1. Description of the Related Art

Hard suitcases generally adopt a mechanical key to open a lock of the suitcase or adopt a combination lock. In the suitcases adopting the mechanical key to open the lock, the locking device, lock and key of the suitcases of this sort come with a simple structure, so that the lock can be opened by a similar key or tool. In the suitcases adapting the combination lock, the number of combinations is relatively small, and the unlock operation is relatively complicated. In addition, both of the aforementioned two types of locks are usually installed in a narrow space at the middle of a handle, and their operation is very inconvenient.

Some suitcases may adopt an electronic combination lock, such as a portable suitcase with an electronic combination locking device as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,495,540 filed by Presto Lock, Inc, and the portable suitcase comprises a panel installed on a side of a handle, and the panel comprises a display device and a plurality of numeric keys, and a mechanical switch operated in a horizontal direction is installed on the other side of the handle. After a correct unlock password is entered, the mechanical switch can be switched to open the suitcase lock. If a wrong password is entered or no password has been entered, then the mechanical switch cannot be switched. In German Pat. No. DE3242119A, a portable suitcase with an electronic combination control portable suitcase is disclosed, and the portable suitcase is similar to the aforementioned U.S. patent and comprises a keyboard installed on a side of a handle for inputting a password, a lock hook installed to a suitcase cover, and a latch mechanism installed to a suitcase body and configured to be corresponsive to the lock hook. After a correct unlock password is entered, an actuator assembly installed in the suitcase body actuates the latch mechanism, so that the lock hook can be unbuckled. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,426,862, an electronic locking device for suitcases is disclosed, and the electronic locking device comprises a panel installed on a surface of a suitcase body under a handle and further comprises an unlock button disposed on both sides separately. After a correct password is entered and confirmed, the buttons may be pushed outwardly to open the suitcase cover.

In the foregoing three technical solutions, the panel or keyboard for controlling the locking device is installed on a surface of the handle installed to the suitcase body. When the suitcase is opened, it is necessary to erect the portable suitcase to enter the password, and then the portable suitcase is placed horizontally before it can be opened. Unless the portable suitcase is placed horizontally on a higher tabletop, the password cannot be entered to open the suitcase cover. In addition, the surface of the suitcase body for installing the handle is small and narrow, and thus the layout and installation of the mechanical locking device and electronic control device will be difficult, which limits the widespread use of the portable suitcase with an electronic combination control.
