Abstract: A case assembly for motorcycles comprises a frame (11) for coupling to the motorcycle and a case (12) including means that allow its removable coupling to the frame. The means which allow the removable coupling include U-shaped elements (17) which move between a non-active position to accommodate therein a complementary element (13) of the frame and an active rotated position to secure therein said element (13) of the frame. Conveniently, between the case and the frame there are other passive coupling means (14, 15) at a distance of the U-shaped elements for positioning the case before the coupling movement of the U-shaped elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motorbike transport case (TC) comprising a base part (1), arranged to be detachably fitted to a motorbike or a carrier plate (3) mounted on a motorbike; a lid part (2) hinged to the base part (1); a retaining member (10) arranged to hold the lid part (2) to the base part (1) and to release the lid part (2) from the base part (1); and a control mechanism for bringing the retaining member (10) from the first position to the second position. Inadvertent closing may result in the retaining member (10) still not holding the lid part (2) to the base part (1). Therefore, it is an object to provide a motorbike transport case which obviates a user's negligence during closing of the transport case. To this end, the control mechanism limits the movement of the retaining member (10) so that the retaining member (10) can be brought to the closing position only in such a manner that the retaining member (10) will actually hold the lid part (2) to the base part (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a detachable motorbike transport case (TC) comprising a bottom shell (1) and a top shell (2) hinged to the bottom shell (1). A locking mechanism (12a, 8, 31, 32, 39, 39a), preferably operable by a key (12), is arranged to selectively lock the top shell (2) to the bottom shell (1). A handle (18) is articulated to the transport case (TC) such as to be pivotable between a retracted position (FIG. 4) and a projecting position (FIG. 9). In order to enhance the functionality, comfort and safety of the motorbike transport case, the locking mechanism comprises retaining means (11, 41) for retaining the handle (18) in the retracted position thereof, and the locking mechanism can assume a release state (90°) in which the retaining means (11, 41) release the handle (18) from the retracted position. In this manner, the handle (18) cannot move inadvertently to its projecting position and the locked handle (18) cannot be moved to its projecting position by an unauthorized person.
