Definitions

• the invention relates to a handle for a piece of luggage according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Luggage typically has at least one handle on which the bag is carried or with which the bag can be advanced by means of rollers.
• the handles usually have a handle, which is connectable via a first and a second housing element with the luggage.
• the handle can be transferred from a rest position into a relation to the rest position curved transport position. This has the advantage that the luggage and the handle together occupy little space in the rest position and on the other hand, the handle in transport position has enough space for the user's hands.
• the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a handle for a piece of luggage that is easy to manufacture.
• the invention provides in an advantageous manner that the handle has at least one spring element layer and at least one flexible band, wherein the flexible band at the two ends has loops through which extend the pin elements, wherein the flexible band is pivotable about the pin elements and wherein the spring element layer, at least in the transport position, a restoring force on the handle exerts, so that the handle is traceable to the rest position.
• the present invention has the advantage that, in particular, the pivoting mechanism, with which the handle piece can be transferred from the rest position into the curved transport position, is designed very simply.
• the flexible band may be a textile band. Flexible in relation to the flexible band means that the flexible band is bendable.
• the flexible band is preferably bendable by 90 °, in particular by 135 ° and in particular by 180 °.
• the first pin element can be mounted in the first housing element and the second pin element in the second housing element.
• the first and the second pin element can each be mounted in a region of the first and the second housing element, which in each case face the grip piece, in particular the middle part of the grip piece. This has the advantage that even more space for the user's hands are available in the curved transport position.
• the flexible band may be bent at rest at the ends. This means that the flexible band is bent respectively at the ends in a direction pointing in the direction of the other housing element.
• At least three spring element layers can be provided.
• the at least one spring element layer may be a leaf spring element.
• the flexible band may be connected to the at least one spring element layer. In this way, the flexible band can not slip relative to the at least one spring element layer.
• the flexible band and the at least one spring element layer can preferably be connected to one another in the middle of the grip piece.
• the handle may have on the bag side facing a damping layer.
• the damping layer may consist of sponge rubber.
• the handle may also have a damping layer on the side facing away from the bag.
• This damping layer may consist of sponge rubber.
• the flexible band may protrude at the first and second ends of the handle from the support member.
• the flexible band may be guided at the ends of the carrier element by the carrier element.
• the flexible band can preferably be guided by an opening in the carrier element.
• the at least one spring element layer can be connected to the carrier element at both ends of the carrier element.
• the spring element layer can be introduced at each of the two ends of the carrier element into a recess arranged at the two ends of the carrier element.
• the handle may have an outer layer of leather.
• FIGS. 1 to 4 the handle of FIGS. 1 to 4 in sectional view
• FIG. 6 the handle of FIGS. 1 to 5 in plan view.
• Fig. 1 shows a piece of luggage 2 with a handle according to the invention 1.
• the piece of luggage 2 is preferably a suitcase, which is rollable on rollers 3 on a floor.
• the user of the item of luggage can carry the item of luggage by means of the handle 1 or also push with the help of the rollers with the handle 1.
• the handle 1 is shown in more detail in FIG.
• the handle 1 has a handle 4. Further, the handle 1, a first and a second housing member 6, 8, which are connectable to the luggage piece 2.
• the gripping piece is connected to the first housing element 6 at a first end 10 via a first pin element 14 and to the second housing element 8 at a second end 12 via a second pin element 16.
• the handle 4 is bendable, so that the handle 4 can be transferred from a rest position shown in Fig. 2 in a relation to the rest position bent transport position. From Fig. 3, which illustrates the transport position of the handle 4, it can be seen that more space is provided for the hand of a user between the handle and luggage piece 2 in the transport position. 4, the handle is shown in exploded view.
• the grip 4 has at least one spring element layer 18 and at least one flexible strap 20.
• the grip 4 has three spring element layers 18. However, this is not absolutely necessary. It is sufficient that at least one spring element layer is provided.
• the flexible band 20 has at the respective ends loops 22 through which the pin members 24 extend.
• the flexible band 20 can pivot about the pin members 22.
• the first and second pin members 24, 25 are respectively supported in the first and second housing members 6, 8.
• the at least one spring element layer 18 can exert a restoring force on the grip 4, at least in the transport position, so that the grip 4 can be returned to the rest position.
• the first and second pin members 24, 25 are respectively supported in the first and second housing members 6, 8.
• the handle 4 may have a carrier element 26.
• the support member 26 is preferably so flexible that it also participates in the deformation of the handle 4 from the rest position to the transport position, on the other hand, however, is not as flexible as the flexible band.
• the carrier element is preferably made of plastic.
• the flexible band protrudes from the carrier element 26 at the first and second ends 10, 12 of the grip 4. It can be seen that the loops 22 extend into the interior of the first and second housing members 6, 8, so that the first and second pin members 24, 25 passing through the first and second loops 22 are in the first and second loops 22 the second housing element 6, 8 may be stored.
• the flexible band is bent at the respective ends.
• the respective ends of the flexible band are preferably the loops 22.
• the respective ends of the flexible band are bent such that the respective ends point in the direction of the central part 28 of the grip 4. Because the flexible band is flexible, the flexible band can pivot freely relative to the first and the second pin element 14, 16. Therefore, no complex pivoting mechanism is necessary.
• the height h of the first and second housing members 6, 8 is higher on the side facing the central portion 28 of the handle 4 than the height h at the ends of the respective first and second housing members 6, 8 resting on the central portion 28 facing away from the housing elements 6, 8 are arranged. In this way, the handle 1 is also slightly bent in the rest position, so that it is easy for the user to reach under the handle 4.
• the rest position is shown in FIG.
• the first and the second pin element 14, 16 are arranged in the region of the first and the second housing element 6, 8 which respectively point in the direction of the middle part 28 of the grip piece 4.
• the at least one spring element layer 18 may preferably be a leaf spring element.
• the flexible band 20 may preferably be connected to the at least one spring element layer 18.
• the flexible band 20 may be connected in the middle region 28 of the grip 4 with the at least one spring element layer 18.
• the flexible band 20 and the at least one spring element layer 18 may preferably be glued together.
• the grip 4 may have a damping layer 30 on the side facing away from the baggage item.
• the grip 4 may have a damping layer 32 on the side facing the item of luggage.
• the flexible band 20 may be guided at the ends 34, 36 of the carrier element 22 through a first and a second opening 38, 40 in the carrier element 22 by the carrier element 22.
• the at least one flexible band 22 may be connected to the carrier element 22, preferably glued.
• the at least one spring element layer 18 can be connected to the carrier element at the two ends 34, 36 of the carrier element 22.
• the spring element layer 18 at the two ends 34, 36 of the carrier element 22 can each be introduced into a recess 42, 44 arranged at the two ends of the carrier element 34, 36.
• the outer layer of the handle may preferably be made of leather.
