Publication number: 20180055165Abstract: A piece of luggage (1) comprising a housing (2) with a front wall (3), a back wall (4), a top wall (5), a bottom wall (6) and side walls (7, 8). There is at least one pair of wheels, and at least two functional elements (10, 11, 12, 13, 14). The elements are chosen from the group consisting of a telescopic handle (10), at least one carrying handle (11), a longitudinal closure element (12), a logo element (13), and a lock element (14). For each of said at least two functional elements (10, 11, 12, 13, 14) a recess (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 30) is provided in the housing (2), in which recess (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 30) said functional elements (10, 11, 12, 13, 14) are positioned.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2016Publication date: March 1, 2018Applicant: VICTORINOX AGInventors: Tillmann PAUL, Carsten KULCKE, Max TOMA, Michel PERRET

Publication number: 20180027936Abstract: A piece of luggage (1) comprising a housing (2) and at least one pair of caster wheels (9), wherein each of the caster wheels (9) comprises a swivel axis (S) and at least one wheel (10) with a peripheral surface (11) rotating around a rotation axis (R) running perpendicular to the swivel axis (S). The diameter (D) of the at least one wheel (9) is as large as possible under the provision that in a rotational position parts of the peripheral surface (10) of the wheel (9) extend in a space between a center plane (C) extending centrally between a front wall (3) and a back wall (4) and a reference plane (P) extending parallel and at a distance (A) to the center plane (C), which distance (A) amounts up to 20% of the diameter (D) of the wheel (9).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2016Publication date: February 1, 2018Applicant: VICTORINOX AGInventors: Tillmann PAUL, Carsten KULCKE, Max TOMA, Michel PERRET

Patent number: 9833788Abstract: The invention describes powders for use in the production of spatial structures, i.e. molded bodies, using layer build-up methods, as well as methods for their efficient production. The powders have the special feature that they have good flow behavior, for one thing, and at the same time, have such a composition that the molded body that can be produced with the powder, using rapid prototyping, has significantly improved mechanical and/or thermal properties. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the powder has a first component that is present in the form of essentially spherical powder particles, which is formed by a matrix material, and at least one further component in the form of stiffening and/or reinforcing fibers, which are preferably embedded in the matrix material.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: EOS GmbH Electro Optical SystemsInventors: Peter Hesse, Tillmann Paul, Richard Weiss

Patent number: 8313087Abstract: Described are powders for use in the production of three-dimensional structures or molded bodies by means of layered manufacturing methods, and methods for the economical production thereof. The powders have the particularity that they have a good flow behavior, on the one hand, and that they are simultaneously configured such that the molded body produced with the powder in rapid prototyping has substantially improved mechanical and/or thermal characteristics. In accordance with a particularly advantageous embodiment, the powder comprises a first fraction that is present in the form of substantially spherical powder particles and that is formed by a matrix material, and at least one further fraction in the form of strengthening and/or reinforcing fibers that are preferably embedded into the matrix material.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2005Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: EOS GmbH Electro Optical SystemsInventors: Peter Hesse, Tillmann Paul, Richard Weiss
