Patent

CA 2634653

An item of luggage is provided with an interior region of adjustable interior volume. The luggage comprises first frame elements, an expandable gusset and gusset retracting means. The second frame element is moveable between a first position close to the first frame element and a second position spaced from the first frame element. The expandable gusset connects the first and second frame elements, and is foldable into a first folded configuration when the second frame element is in the first position to reduce the interior volume, and expandable to a second extended configuration when the second frame element is in the second position to increase the interior volume. The gusset retracting means comprises a web of material attached to the interior side of said gusset and arranged such that when the second frame element is in the first position, the gusset is drawn towards the interior region, thereby allowing the first and second frame elements to come close together without the user having to manually retract the gusset to a desired interior position and away from interfering with the retraction of the second frame element.

Une valise dont le volume intérieur est réglable est présentée. La valise comprend des premiers éléments de cadre, un gousset extensible et un dispositif de pliage du gousset. Un second élément de cadre mobile se déplace entre une première position à proximité du premier élément de cadre et une seconde position, à distance de ce même élément de cadre. Le gousset extensible relie les premier et second éléments de cadre, et se plie en une première configuration lorsque le second élément de cadre se trouve à la première position, ce qui réduit le volume de la valise, ou se déplie en une seconde configuration lorsque le second élément de cadre se trouve à la seconde position, ce qui accroît le volume de la valise. Le dispositif de pliage du gousset consiste en une bande de tissu reliée au côté du gousset de manière que ce dernier est attiré vers l'intérieur lorsque le second élément de cadre est à la première position, ce qui rapproche les premier et second éléments de cadre sans que l'utilisateur ait à retourner manuellement le gousset à la position désirée tout en empêchant ce dernier de gêner le déplacement du second élément de cadre.
