DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(5) The present invention provides an adjustable electronic tag device for a suitcase or luggage. The adjustable electronic tag device, arranged on the suitcase, is able to display the barcode of the suitcase before boarding the plane. The adjustable electronic tag device of the present invention freely adjusts the tightness of fixing an electronic tag to the suitcase. When the suitcase moves, the adjustable electronic tag device is stably arranged on the suitcase without shaking, thereby reducing the probability of colliding with and causing damage to the electronic tag.

(6) Refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3. The structure of the adjustable electronic tag device 1 is introduced as follows. The adjustable electronic tag device 1 comprises an electronic tag 10 exemplified by an electronic paper. The electronic tag 10 is provided with a fixing assembly 20 thereon. The electronic tag 10 may be fixed to the handle (not shown) of the suitcase through the fixing assembly 20. The fixing assembly 20 includes a positioning member 22, a binder 24, and a case 26.

(7) Refer to FIG. 3. The positioning member 22 is a soft positioning member, such as a plastic positioning member. The positioning member 22 includes a binding hole 220 and a movable fastener 222 arranged in the binding hole 220. Two ends of the movable fastener 222 are fixed to the inner sidewall of the binding hole 220. The top and the bottom of the movable fastener 222 respectively have a pressing portion 224 and a tooth-like fastening portion 226. At least one surface of the binder 24 has a plurality of bars 240 arranged in rows. An end of the binder 24 connects with the positioning member 22 and another end of the binder 24 encircles the handle of the suitcase and penetrates through the binding hole 220. When the binder 24 penetrates through the binding hole 220, the tooth-like fastening portion 226 of the movable fastener 222 is fastened with at least one of the plurality of bars 240 to fix the binder 24. When a user looses the binder 24, the user presses the pressing portion 224, such that the tooth-like fastening portion 226 leaves from at least one of the plurality of bars 240 of the binder 24 to move the binder 24 in the binding hole 220 of the positioning member 22.

(8) Refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3. The structure of the case 26 of the fixing assembly 20 is introduced as follows. The embodiment exemplifies the case 26 by a plastic case. The case 26 further comprises an accommodating case 260 and a cover 262, and the accommodating case 260 is covered with the cover 262. The case 26 may encapsulate the positioning member 22. The positioning member 22 is screwed to the accommodating case 260 of the case 26 by at least one fixing component 28, such as a screw. The cover 262 covers the accommodating case 260 to encapsulate the positioning member 22. The accommodating case 260 of the case 26 is provided with a first opening hole 264, a second opening hole 266, and a third opening hole 268. The bottom of the accommodating case 260 of the case 26 is provided with the first opening hole 264. The two sides of the accommodating case 260 of the case 26 are respectively provided with the second opening hole 266 and the third opening hole 268. When the positioning member 22 is fixed in the accommodating case 260, the binder 24 may emerge from the first opening hole 264. Simultaneously, the second opening hole 266, the third opening hole 268, and the binding hole 220 of the positioning member 22 are coaxially arranged. Thus, the binder 24 sequentially penetrates through the second opening hole 266, the binding hole 220 of the positioning member 22, and the third opening hole 268. The case 26 is provided with an anti-theft through hole 269. The anti-theft through hole 269 and the pressing portion 224 of the positioning member 22 are coaxially arranged. The diameter of the anti-theft through hole 269 is less than or equal to 0.2 cm. When a user intends to loose the binder 24, the user uses a fine needle to penetrate through the anti-theft through hole 269 to press the pressing portion, thereby leaving the tooth-like fastening portion 226 from the at least one of the plurality of bars 240 of the binder 24. As a result, the binder 24 moves in the binding hole 220 to adjust the tightness of the binder 24.

(9) Refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4. The state of using the adjustable electronic tag device is introduced as follows. For example, the handle 32 of the suitcase 30 is installed with the adjustable electronic tag device 1. When the adjustable electronic tag device 1 is fixed, the binder 24 encircles the handle 32 of the suitcase 30 and sequentially penetrates through the second opening hole 266 and the binding hole 220 of the positioning member 22, such that the tooth-like fastening portion 226 of the movable fastener 222 is fastened with the bar 240 of the binder 24, thereby fixing the binder 24. When the user disassembles the adjustable electronic tag device 1, the user uses a fine needle to penetrates through the anti-theft through hole 269 of the case 26, thereby pressing the pressing portion 224 of the movable fastener 222. Thus, the tooth-like fastening portion 226 leaves from the bar 240 of the binder 24 to move the binder 24 in the binding hole 220, thereby loosing the binder 24. Then, the adjustable electronic tag device 1 is disassembled from the handle 32 of the suitcase 30.

(10) In conclusion, the present invention freely adjusts the tightness of fixing the electronic tag. When the suitcase moves, the adjustable electronic tag device is stably arranged on the suitcase without shaking. The present invention uses a security mechanism to prevent from freely adjusting an electronic tag and stealing the electronic tag. In addition, the present invention has a simple structure and high production efficiency, thereby reducing the fabrication cost.

(11) The embodiments described above are only to exemplify the present invention but not to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent modification or variation according to the shapes, structures, features, or spirit disclosed by the present invention is to be also included within the scope of the present invention.
