Suitcase for Luggage

Abstract

A suitcase for carrying luggage during trips comprises a case having a top portion, a bottom portion, an interior portion, an exterior portion, a pair of horizontally extending opposing side walls, a pair of vertically extending opposing side walls positioned between the pair of horizontally extending opposing side walls, a plurality of pockets having a first edge and a second edge, a valve and an air tight closing means attached to the interior portion, an air deflating device with an elongated hose, a hand engaging means and a locking means attached to the bottom portion of the suitcase. The articles are placed inside the plurality of pockets and sealed air tight. The air deflating device is operated utilizing electric power to deflate the plurality of pockets. The deflated plurality of pockets may create even more room inside the suitcase without crumpling the articles.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not Applicable.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]This embodiment relates to the field of suitcases and more particularly to vacuum-packed suitcases that immobilize and reduce the volume of clothes and other items inside thereby increasing the storage capacity of the suitcase.DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART[0004]Several types of suitcases are widely used by people to carry personal items such as clothing, toiletries, business papers and other miscellaneous articles. These suitcases may include rigid or expandable compartments. There may be a single compartment or multiple compartments. Some suitcases contain inflatable compartments. The air chambers of suitcases with inflatable compartments are expanded using pressurized air from a separate pumping mechanism. This maximizes the number of articles in a suitcase because the contents of the suitcase are compressed.[0005]...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a suitcase with a hinged top and bottom portions, interior pluggable pockets, and an air deflating device. The air deflating device uses electric power to deflate the pluggable pockets and remove any excess air inside the suitcase, creating more space and preventing articles from getting wrinkles during travel. The suitcase is designed to carry garments in an easy manner without crumpling them, and the pluggable pockets can be removed when desired. The air deflating device is a compressor pump powered from an external power source and the pluggable pockets are sealed air tight using valves and an elongated hose. This makes the suitcase suitable for carrying a variety of goods without crumpling them.

Problems solved by technology

The main problem associated with the use of these suitcases while travelling is to protect and maintain the articles of clothing, prevent wrinkling of the clothing, and maximize the amount of clothing and other articles to be carried in the suitcase.

These suitcases do not possess a single compact system to inflate or deflate the interior of the suitcase

However the case does not include an integrated device within the suitcase for compressing the bags without wrinkling the articles.

Further the compartments are not hinged to the interior of the suitcase and may create difficulty in accessing the articles.

When the liner is filled and sealed closed, air is withdrawn from the packing chamber by a motorized vacuum pump, causing the liner to collapse and compress the contents, thereby reducing the volume of the packing chamber to a size which fits within the closed suitcase.

However the suitcase does not include hinged compartments from which it would be easier to retrieve the stored articles.

Furthermore, it does not possess a single system integrated within the suitcase for compressing the contents without crumpling.
