LUGGAGE HAVING STRAP POSITIONING STRUCTURE
A luggage having a strap positioning structure includes a luggage case that has an accommodation space, an opening at one side of the accommodation space, a lid connected to one side of the opening to cover the opening in a zipped manner, and at least one strap in the accommodation space. An inner surface of the accommodation space has an inner side wall. The inner side wall is provided with at least one retaining member coupled to the inner side wall and located close to the opening. The retaining member includes a fixed portion fixed to the inner side wall, a retaining portion connected to the fixed portion, and an insertion space at an inner side of the retaining portion. The strap is inserted through the insertion space of the retaining member. The strap is extended across the opening to fasten the articles placed in the accommodation space.
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a luggage, and more particularly to a luggage having a strap positioning structure for the strap inside the luggage to be retained at a position close to the opening of the luggage in order to be used conveniently.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
A conventional luggage is provided with one or two straps inside the luggage. The straps are transversely disposed at the bottom of the luggage, often in the form of an X shape. The straps are used to fasten the garments placed in the luggage, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,415,220, U.S. Pat. No. 4,932,506, U.S. Pat. No. 4,729,460, U.S. Pat. No. 5,474,162, U.S. Pat. No. 5,762,170, U.S. Pat. No. 5,678,666, U.S. Pat. No. 6,073,738, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,054,589. However, when the user wants to place the garments into the conventional luggage, the straps of the luggage must be unbuckled first. When the garments are placed into the luggage, the straps may be covered and pressed at the bottom of the luggage. The user has to rummage the luggage for the straps, which may mess up the garments. Therefore, a device used to hold the straps must be developed to retain the straps at a position close to the opening of the luggage, such that the straps can be used conveniently. Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to solve these problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary object of the present invention is to provide a luggage having a strap positioning structure. Through a retaining member coupled to the interior of the luggage, a strap provided inside the luggage can be retained at a certain height, preventing the strap from being covered by articles placed in the luggage.
In order to achieve the object, the luggage having a strap positioning structure of the present invention comprises a luggage case that has an accommodation space therein, an opening located at one side of the accommodation space, a lid connected to one side of the opening to cover the opening in a zipped manner, and at least one strap disposed in the accommodation space. An inner surface of the accommodation space has an inner side wall. The inner side wall is provided with at least one retaining member coupled to the inner side wall and located close to the opening. The retaining member comprises a fixed portion fixed to the inner side wall, a retaining portion connected to the fixed portion, and an insertion space formed at an inner side of the retaining portion. The strap is inserted through the insertion space of the retaining member. The strap is extended across the opening to fasten articles placed in the accommodation space.
Through the strap positioning structure of the present invention, the strap is retained at a position over three-quarters of a height of the luggage case. When garments or other personal items are placed in the luggage case, the strap won't be covered and pressed at the bottom of the luggage case, such that the strap can be used to conveniently fasten the garments.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
