Systems of a footrest are described, along with a process for making the footrest. The footrest may include a base with at least four side walls connected by a bottom side. The base may be folded into a flat or box shape. The footrest may also include a container lid connected by a bottom lid and a top lid, and the base may be configured to join with the container lid. The base may also fit inside the container lid when folded, and the bottom lid of the container lid includes at least two semi-circular shaped depressions.

An embodiment of an article of luggage is disclosed, the luggage in one practice having compression and expansion capability comprising an interposed metal frame of split configuration having an expansion portion positioned between the split where the metal frame is attached to one side of the luggage. One of more expansion and locking devices permit compression of contents and also enables locking the luggage in its expanded shape.

A method for making a hard luggage case includes: a step of parison forming: including forming a parison; a step of blow molding including: forming the hard luggage case by subjecting the parison to a blow molding process, wherein the hard luggage case includes a cutting line to divide the hard luggage case into a first shell and a second shell; and a step of cutting including: cutting the hard luggage case along the cutting line to separate the first and second shells from each other. The step of blow molding is capable of reducing the manufacturing cost, while improving the life and marketing competiveness of the hard luggage case.

A biodegradable protective device adapted for a mobile device includes a main body and a protective portion. The main body is made of biodegradable plastic. The protective portion is made of biodegradable material, and the protective portion is connected to the main body and used to protect the mobile device from damage.

A case body structure of a luggage case includes a case top member, a case bottom member and a sidewall member that are independent components. Each of the case top member and the case bottom member is a hard structure. The sidewall member includes a wall plate and a cover plate. The wall plate includes a connecting section, two installation sections, and an installation breach defined and formed by the two installation sections. The cover plate is disposed correspondingly to the installation breach. The cover plate and the wall plate define a hollow cavity. The case top member and the case bottom member are respectively disposed at two ends of the sidewall member to enclose the hollow cavity. The cover plate selectively opens relative to the wall plate to allow an object to be placed into or taken out of the hollow cavity.

A case with a transparent shell accommodates a sheet mounted within the shell to modify the appearance of the case. Magnetic coupling at the corner of the shells retains the sheet. Binding at the distal edge of the shell extends over the periphery of the sheet when placed within the transparent shell. The sheet may include visual information arranged to appear through the transparent shell.

This invention discloses a lock that set on a suitcase of being opened or closed without using a zipper, which including an operating component and a locking component that are separately-mounted; the operating component is set on a non-border position of the suitcase, and the locking component is set on the border of the suitcase, wherein the locking component comprises at least one locking unit, the force transfer between the operating component and the locking component is provided by a force transmission mechanism that connected between the operating component and the locking component; the operating component comprises an operation member, and the locking unit comprises a lock head and a lock hook, wherein driving the operation member can drive the lock head or the lock hook to move through the force transmission mechanism, to lock or unlock the lock. This invention also provides a suitcase provided with the lock as described above. This invention set the operating component and the locking component separately, which solves the problem that the lock can only be installed on the border of the suitcase, and only the locking component needs to be installed on the border of the suitcase, while the operating component can be installed at any position of the suitcase other than the border.
