(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a suitcase with its handle containing a fastening hook, and more particularly, to a suitcase allowing extra carry-on bag or similar object to be placed on a top of the suitcase and secured with a fastening rope to engage the hook.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
A suitcase of the prior art is usually provided on its back a handle, and the handle is made retractable in the main structure of the suitcase as desired for carrying or towing the suitcase as desired by a user. A traveler often has extra carry-on bag or similar object on the road and he may put it on top of the suitcase and rest on an extended frame of the handle while he/she is towing the suitcase for labor saving. It saves efforts but the carry-on bag or similar object can easily drop or get lost particularly when towing on a rough surface or among crowded people. A rope may prevent it, but it appears to be very troublesome and inconvenient since the user has to consume much time to fasten the carry-on bag or similar object with the rope. Therefore, the present invention discloses a suitcase with its handle adapted with a hook and a fastening rope to easily secure carry-on bag or similar object on top of the suitcase.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a suitcase adapted with a retractable frame attached to its handle, and the handle is further provided with a hook to engage a rope to firmly fasten a carry-on bag or similar object on top of the suitcase. To achieve the purpose, a groove is provided on the handle. A hook projecting from the groove is concealed in the handle to prevent compromising the holding of the handle by a user. The rope is disposed to the body of the suitcase and is made of a material of high elasticity to allow it to be easily pulled up to engage with the hook on the handle. Accordingly, the carry-on bag or similar object is put on top of the suitcase and secured with the rope before engaging the rope to the hook of the handle. The user can easily and firmly secure the carry-on bag or similar object while controlling the rope to prevent it from being disengaged since the end of the rope and the hook are concealed in the handle without interfering the holding or towing action of the suitcase by the user.
