Abstract: A case for motorcycles comprises a base portion, a cover, hinged to such a base portion, and a supporting structure, constrainable on one side to the base portion and, on the opposite side, to a fixed structure of the motorcycle. On the base portion a lock mechanism with a key is permanently constrained, operatively connected to the cover. The case is provided with first releasable engaging means between the base portion and the cover and second releasable engaging means between such a base portion and the supporting structure. The second releasable engaging means are made integral to the base portion. Both the first engaging means, and the second engaging means are simultaneously released by the key of the lock mechanism in order to selectively obtain the opening of the cover with respect to the base portion and/or the disengagement of such a base portion with respect to the supporting structure.

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.
