- So, the traveller has to organize the objects to be transported, for example inside of a trolley, taking into account said dimensional limitations. This is often in contrast with the need to put the personal effects, like underwear or clothes, in a tidy way and being able to pick up, at the end of the travel, the same clothes from the trolley ready to be worn.
- For example, a jacket laid in a trolley during a long travel will result, at the end of the travel, to be very creased.
- Thus, taken into account the aforesaid dimensional limitations for the hand luggage with reference to travels by plane, it is an object of the invention to provide a trolley that is suitable for containing both the underwear or the like and at least one piece of garment, like a jacket or the like, with or without trousers, so that the same piece of garment will not be creased in a relevant way while laid and transported inside the trolley.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a trolley that, taken into account the aforesaid dimensional limitations for the hand luggage with reference to travels by plane, may also be combined by means of a plurality of suitcase containers, and detached in a plurality of suitcase containers, thus facilitating not only the transport of the trolley and its components, but also the composition and detachment of the same trolley.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a trolley that, being composed by means of a plurality of suitcase containers, allows to avoid the detachment in a fraudulent way of at least one of said suitcase containers with respect to at least another of said suitcase containers.
- Another further object of the invention is to provide a trolley that has a strong and simplified structure, easy to be used and the realization of which results simple and economical.
- In view of these objects, the present invention provides a trolley, the essential characteristic of which forms the subject of
claim 1. - Further embodiments of the trolley according to the invention are described in the dependent claims.
