Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängingen Ansprüche.According to the invention this object is achieved by a piece of luggage according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Gepäckstück ein Rahmenelement aufweist, und dass das Rahmenelement an mindestens einer längs des Rahmenelementes verlaufenden Außenkante ein Aufnahmeprofil für ein Randprofil eines Reißverschlusses aufweist. Dieses Aufnahmeprofil hat den Vorteil, dass ein Reißverschluss mit einem Randprofil in das Aufnahmeprofil eingeführt werden kann. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, bei der Herstellung des Gepäckstücks das Aufnahmeprofil nach Einfügung des Randprofils des Reißverschlusses anzudrücken, wodurch eine hohe Ausreißfestigkeit durch ein verringertes Spaltmaß des Aufnahmeprofils geschaffen wird.In order to achieve this object, it is provided according to the invention that the item of luggage has a frame element, and that the frame element has a receiving profile for an edge profile of a zipper on at least one outer edge extending along the frame element. This absorption profile has the advantage that a zipper with a Edge profile can be introduced into the receiving profile. It is also possible to press in the manufacture of the luggage item profile after insertion of the edge profile of the zipper, creating a high pull-out strength is created by a reduced gap of the receiving profile.

Es ist vorgesehen, dass das Randprofil in seiner Querschnittsform dem Aufnahmeprofil angepasst ist und an einem ersten Seitenteil des Reißverschlusses befestigt ist, wobei das zweite Seitenteil des Reißverschlusses mit einem Gepäckstückteil verbunden ist. Das zweite Seitenteil kann dabei auch in herkömmlicher Weise mit einem anderen Gepäckstückteil, z.B. einem Textilteil oder einem Schalenteil verbunden sein.It is provided that the edge profile is adapted in its cross-sectional shape of the receiving profile and is attached to a first side part of the zipper, wherein the second side part of the zipper is connected to a piece of luggage.

Fig. 2
a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1 ,

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Koffer 1 mit zwei Kofferschalen 2,4, die an der Unterseite des Koffers gelenkig miteinander verbunden sein können. An dem Rand der Kofferschalen 2,4 ist eine Schließeinrichtung in Form eines Reißverschlusses 10 vorgesehen, der gemeinsam mit Kederbändern 26 mit den Rändern der Kofferschalen 2,4 vernäht ist. Fig. 1 shows a suitcase 1 with two case shells 2,4, which can be hinged together at the bottom of the case. At the edge of the case shells 2,4 a closing device in the form of a zipper 10 is provided, which is sewn together with Kederbändern 26 with the edges of the case shells 2,4.

Die Kofferschalen 2,4 bestehen vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, z.B. aus einer Polycarbonatfolie mit einer Dicke von ca. 1 bis 2 mm.The case shells 2,4 are preferably made of plastic, e.g. from a polycarbonate film with a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm.

Es versteht sich, dass auch Schalenelemente oder Gepäckstückteile aus Textilmaterial mit dem Reißverschluss 10 und dem Kederband 26 oder nur mit einem Seitenteil 16,18 des Reißverschlusses 10 vernäht sein können.It is understood that also shell elements or luggage items made of textile material with the zipper 10 and the welt strip 26 or only with a side part 16,18 of the zipper 10 can be sewn.

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte Koffer 1 weist ein zentral angeordnetes Rahmenelement 6 auf, das vorzugsweise einen geschlossenen Rahmen bildet.The in Fig. 1 shown suitcase 1 has a centrally disposed frame member 6, which preferably forms a closed frame.

Das Rahmenelement 6 besteht beispielsweise aus einem Metallstranggussprofil, das ein- oder beidseitig an seinen Außenkanten, insbesondere an der Stirnseite, ein Aufnahmeprofil 28 für ein Randprofil 22 des Reißverschlusses 10 oder einer Kofferschale 2,4 aufweist. Das Aufnahmeprofil 28 ist in Fig. 2 mit kreisförmiger Querschnittsform dargestellt. Es versteht sich allerdings, dass auch andere zweckmäßige Querschnittsformen möglich sind, die zur Erhöhung der Ausreißfestigkeit eines Reißverschlusses dienen. Die äußeren Kanten des Aufnahmeprofils können eine kleinere Öffnung freilassen, oder auch nachträglich nach dem Einfügen des Randprofils 22 oder der umlaufenden Kante einer Kofferschale 2,4 durch einen Drückvorgang hinsichtlich des Spaltmaßes verengt werden, um das Randprofil 22 bzw. die umlaufende Kante der Kofferschale fest einzuklemmen.The frame element 6 consists for example of a metal extruded profile, the one or both sides of its outer edges, in particular on the front side, a receiving profile 28 for an edge profile 22 of the zipper 10 or a case shell 2,4 has. The receiving profile 28 is in Fig. 2 shown with circular cross-sectional shape. It is understood, however, that other convenient cross-sectional shapes are possible, which serve to increase the pull-out strength of a zipper. The outer edges of the receiving profile can leave a smaller opening, or even after the insertion of the edge profile 22 or the peripheral edge of a case shell 2.4 are narrowed by a pressing operation with respect to the gap to the edge profile 22 and the peripheral edge of the case shell fixed pinch.

Das Rahmenelement 6 besteht vorzugsweise aus einem Aluminiumprofil. Auf der Kofferinnenseite können Stege 30 an dem Rahmenelement 6 abstehen, die auf der Innenseite beispielsweise Verkleidungselemente aufnehmen können.The frame member 6 is preferably made of an aluminum profile. On the case inside webs 30 can protrude on the frame member 6, which can accommodate on the inside, for example, cladding elements.

Es versteht sich, dass das Rahmenelement auch breiter oder schmaler als in den Fign. 1 und 2 dargestellt ausgeführt sein kann, und dass das Rahmenelement 6 auch einstückig mit einem Schalenelement aus Metall oder Kunststoff sein kann.It is understood that the frame element also wider or narrower than in the FIGS. 1 and 2 may be shown, and that the frame member 6 may also be integral with a shell member made of metal or plastic.

Der Reißverschluss 10 weist zwei Seitenteile 16,18 auf, die an ihren inneren Seitenkanten eine Verzahnung, insbesondere in Form einer Kunststoffspirale 12,14 aufweisen, die sich im geschlossenen Zustand des Reißverschlusses 10 ineinander verhaken. Das Seitenteil 16 weist an seiner Außenkante ein Kederband 26 auf, das beispielsweise die umlaufende Kante einer Kofferschale 2,4 aufnehmen kann, wobei das Seitenteil 16 gemeinsam mit dem Kederband 26 mit dem umlaufenden Rand der Kofferschale 2,4 aus Kunststoff vernäht werden kann. Anstelle der Kofferschale kann auch ein Schalenelement oder ein Gepäckstückteil aus Textilmaterial mit dem Reißverschluss 10 vernäht sein.The zipper 10 has two side parts 16,18 which have at their inner side edges a toothing, in particular in the form of a plastic spiral 12,14, which interlock in the closed state of the zipper 10 into each other. The side part 16 has on its outer edge on a piping belt 26 which can accommodate, for example, the peripheral edge of a case shell 2,4, wherein the side member 16 can be sewn together with the welt strip 26 with the peripheral edge of the case shell 2,4 made of plastic. Instead of the case shell, a shell element or a piece of luggage made of textile material may also be sewn to the zipper 10.

Das Seitenteil 18 ist, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, mit einem geteilten zweiten Reißverschlussteil verbunden, und zwar vorzugsweise vernäht der verklebt. Das Seitenteil 20 des geteilten zweiten Reißverschlussteils weist eine Kunststoffspirale 22 auf, die in das Aufnahmeprofil 28 eingreift.The side part 18 is as out Fig. 2 can be seen, connected to a split second zipper part, preferably sewn adhered. The side part 20 of the split second zipper part has a plastic spiral 22 which engages in the receiving profile 28.

Ein derartiges Seitenteil 20 eines zweiten Reißverschlussteils kann sich auch auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite an dem Seitenteil 16 befinden, so dass es prinzipiell auch möglich ist, mit Hilfe des Reißverschlusses 10 zwei Rahmenelemente 6 miteinander zu verbinden. Diese Rahmenelemente 6 können dabei auch den Rahmen einer Kofferschale aus Metall bilden, wobei die umlaufende Kante der Kofferschale aus Metall in herkömmlicher Weise mit dem Rahmenelement 6 vernietet sein kann, oder in einem Aufnahmeprofil 28 geklemmt sein kann.Such a side part 20 of a second zipper part can also be on the opposite side to the side part 16, so that it is in principle also possible to connect two frame elements 6 with the aid of the zipper 10. These frame members 6 may also form the frame of a metal case shell, wherein the peripheral edge of the metal case may be riveted in a conventional manner with the frame member 6, or may be clamped in a receiving profile 28.
