A luggage case includes a shell and a continuous closure structure, the continuous closure structure including a protective cover and separately or additionally an expansion zipper. The continuous closure assembly of the continuous closure structure includes a first strip portion and a second strip portion connected along a common outer edge. The second strip portion overlays a portion of the first strip portion. The expansion zipper assembly of the continuous closure structure includes a central webbing portion having zipper teeth on opposing sides, and a gusset member secured between the shell and the central webbing portion.

The present disclosure provides an expandable and collapsible luggage item, such as a suitcase. The luggage item can be easily transitioned between two or three different sizes, allowing for use as an overnight or weekend bag, airplane carry-on, or large suitcase. As described herein, the design of the expandable and collapsible luggage item includes various shell panels that are slidably engaged and positioned adjacent each other to allow for the luggage item to collapse and expand.

A protective case for large objects including a lock housing formed from a first section and a second section, both of the sections including at least one external subsection and at least one internal subsection configured to telescope inside the external subsection; and an extension lock comprising a lock housing and a compression lock, the lock housing including a screw-threaded channel, and the compression comprising at least one screw-threaded shaft with a compressive component on the interior end and a lock handle on the exterior end, the screw-threaded shaft configured to matingly engage with the screw-threaded channel of the lock housing; the compression lock configured to descend in the lock housing and compressingly lock the internal subsection in an extended position upon locking rotation of the compression lock; and the compression lock configure to ascend in the lock housing upon unlocking rotation of the cam latch.

A fiber reinforced metal composite having a metal layer and a fiber layer which are arranged in a stack, and adjacent layers are fixed by bonding; the composite has a two-layered or three-layered structure, wherein one layer is closely adhered to another layer and the thickness of the layer is from 0.6 mm˜0.9 mm. Such structure changes the structure of the existing fiber metal composite characterized by generally having more than three layers, and greatly reduces the thickness of the composite while maintaining good mechanical properties. Also disclosed is an application of fiber reinforced metal composite in the field of luggage case manufacturing, providing two preparation methods for providing fiber reinforced metal case shell with simple and available operations.

The present disclosure relates to a telescopic rod, a steering device and an electric luggage box. The telescopic rod comprises a hollow first tube, a second tube sleeved outside the first tube and being slidable relatively to the first tube, a positioning mechanism configured to lock and unlock the first tube in position relative to the second tube, and a control member configured to control the positioning mechanism to lock and unlock in position, wherein the positioning mechanism comprises a pushrod connected to the control member and movable in the first rube, an abutment unit provided at a bottom end of the pushrod, and a positioning unit adapted for being abutted by the abutment unit for locking and unlocking in position; the first tube has a limiting structure provided therein, for limiting a space for movement of the abutment unit. The steering device comprises a handle and the afore-mentioned telescopic rod connected to the handle. The electric luggage box comprises a ridable box body, a front wheel and a rear wheel mounted on the box body, and the afore-mentioned steering device for steering the front wheel.

A case for holding tools or small parts includes a basic body and a lid coupled pivotably to the basic body. The basic body has two side walls, the upper edge of which is exposed in the closed state of the lid, and therefore the lid, in the closed state, is arranged between the upper edges of the side walls of the basic body. Each side wall of the basic body forms a labyrinth seal with the respective side wall of the lid in the closed state of the case.

The present invention relates to a clipboard having a frontal surface, a clamping mechanism, a dorsal surface, and a latch engagement portion configured to engage a mating latch and secure the clipboard to a surface of a secondary container

A case (1) comprises a shell (2) and a handle (4) moveable relative to the shell between a first position for carrying the case (1) and a second position for moving the case (1) over the ground (7), wherein the second position is further from the shell (2) than the first position. In the first position, the handle (4) is positioned substantially over the centre of gravity of the case (1) when the case (1) is in an orientation for moving the case (1) over an upwardly-facing surface (7).

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.
