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.

A luggage case includes a case woven by thermoplastic composite material, the case includes four integrally connected lateral walls, a bottom connected to the lateral walls, and four arc-shaped corners at cross points of the lateral walls, between each of the arc-shaped corners and the bottom is defined a hole. Any two of the lateral walls which are neighboring to each other are provided with a first overlapping portion and a second overlapping portion, respectively, and the first and second overlapping portions are integrally connected to each other without a notch formed therebetween, each of the corners of the case is folded to make the first and second overlapping portions overlapped with each other, so as to form a thickened pieces on an inner surface of each of the lateral walls.

A decorative tree storage container including an enclosure having a proximal end, a distal end, and an underside surface, is provided, and described. The storage container can be sized to hold a decorative tree, and can include one or more wheels coupled to the enclosure and positioned at a wheel location between the proximal end and the distal end that increases the clearance between the underside surface of the enclosure and a supporting surface when a decorative tree is in the enclosure and a user is lifting the proximal end by the handle.

A luggage shell or case made from a sheet formed by compacting and heating a mat made of either a mixture of randomly oriented first discontinuous non-woven plastic fibers (42) having a first melting temperature and randomly oriented second discontinuous reinforcing non-woven plastic fiber (46) having a second melting temperature higher than the first melting temperature, or a bicomponent fiber having a first plastic portion having a first melting temperature and a second plastic portion having a second melting temperature. The non-woven mat is heated at a temperature between the first melting temperature and the second melting temperature, as well as by forming the compacted non-woven sheet (64) into the luggage shell.

A luggage article (2) having surface features providing enhanced corner strength is provided. The luggage article may include a shell (4) at least partially formed by an outer layer (6), and including first and second shell portions (28) selectively secured together at a split line (26), the first shell portion defining a first corner region (24). The luggage article may include at least one first surface feature formed by the outer layer, the at least one first surface feature having a depth. The depth of the at least one first surface feature may be greater nearer the first corner region. The depth of the at least one first surface feature may decrease with distance away from the first corner region.

A transportable container includes at least one end plate and four side walls and which defines, in at least one configuration for use, at least one internal compartment for the placement of utensils, tools and objects in general. The container includes an interlocking coupling unit for the plate and at least one of the side walls; the unit includes at least one first profiled element, which is associated with one side of the plate and defines at least one first groove for guiding and partial accommodation of one of the side walls. The unit also includes at least one second profiled element, which is substantially perpendicular to the plate and defines at least one rail for guiding and partial coupling of the side wall.
