Patent

CA 2322214

A hard-sided luggage article (20) which is made by blow molding process. The invention further provides a unique lid (24) having a double wall and a base (26) including a Z-beam (100) perimeter. A co-extrusion clip (120) is provided on the Z-beam (100), part of the co-extrusion clip (120) providing a color break and interlocks when the lid (24) is closed on the base (26). The blow molding process makes it possible to produce a hard-sided luggage article (20) with a trap-door lid (24). In this way, the parting line between the lid (24) and the base (26) does not extend around the entire sidewall of the case, thus providing a portion of the sidewall which can rest on the floor without the possibility of allowing leakage from a puddle, or the like, to infiltrate into the interior of the case.

Cette invention a trait à un article de voyage à flancs rigides (20), obtenu par moulage par soufflage. Cet article comporte un seul couvercle (24) à double paroi et une base (26) à pourtour profilé en Z (100). Une bride (120), obtenue par co-extrusion, qui est située sur le profilé en Z (100) et dont une partie définit une rupture de couleur, assure un verrouillage lorsque le couvercle (24) vient se refermer sur la base (26). La technique de moulage par soufflage permet de produire un article de voyage à flancs rigides (20) pourvu d'un couvercle à bloc levant (24). De cette manière, la ligne de joint se trouvant entre le couvercle (24) et la base (26) ne court pas autour de toute le flanc de la caisse, ce qui laisse ainsi une partie du flanc reposer sur le sol sans que le liquide d'une flaque ou analogue puisse s'infiltrer dans le bagage.
