U-shaped bracket for attaching handles to suitcases or the like.

The innovation relates to a U-shaped, tubular cross-section Bracket for attaching endsei term looped handles on suitcases or the like. with consisting of one piece with the bracket flat brackets, which pass through slots in the frame of the case and with their ends for fastening the bracket to the case are folded against the inside of the frame.

Such brackets used to attach handles to suitcases, for example, are known. In the known brackets, where the Brackets are in the extension of the legs of the bracket a fitting plate is provided between the bracket and the frame of the case, which is guided with slots on the brackets of the bracket. The arrangement of a fitting plate is in the known brackets absolutely necessary for the following reason. Especially when transporting the suitcase by train or plane, the handle is a result which experience has shown to be rough transport conditions are often exposed to strong pressure or shock. In the event that the bracket with his thighs would be in direct contact with the frame of the case, it could not be ruled out that the bracket press the case wall or even penetrate the case wall with the legs and thereby damage the case. Through the fitting plate on the other hand, damage to the case at the points where the handle is connected to the case is prevented. There, however, the handle two brackets are required to attach it to the case and, consequently, in the previous design of the bracket two fitting plates are required, the arrangement of two fitting plates leads to a not insignificant one More expensive accessories for the handle.

The innovation is based on the task of attaching handles on suitcases or the like. serving U-shaped bracket with tubular! cross-section to be designed in such a way that the hitherto required fitting plate can be dispensed with.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in a simple manner by that the legs of the bracket have outwardly directed, flattened bends, at the free ends of the brackets of the Bracket are located.

The bracket is now directly with the bends of its legs fed up with the frame of the suitcase. The bends replace the previously required fitting plate. This way is like damage to the case by means of a fitting plate Stirrups are definitely prevented if the latter is subjected to greater pressure or impact.

Although a U-shaped bracket made of flat material is already known, the legs of which have outwardly directed bends with brackets located on them. However, such brackets have one significant disadvantage, which can be seen in the fact that the loop of the handle when the latter is loaded on the relative rubbing sharp edges of the bracket and thus prematurely unsightly will. Furthermore, since it is often subjected to high tensile loads, the bracket must have a relatively large wall thickness, otherwise there is a risk of deformation.

The innovation is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows:

Fig. 1 shows the partially drawn frame of a suitcase attached U-shaped bracket with a partially shown Case handle in view,

Fig. 2 the bracket in plan view, 3 shows a blank, 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV of FIGS. 1 and FIG. 5 shows a section along the line V-V in FIG. 1.

With 1 is the U-shaped metal bracket with tubular! cross-section referred to, which has tapered brackets 2,3. Brackets 1 and brackets 2,3 consist of one piece. The brackets 2,3 are the Fastening the bracket 1 to a suitcase, for this purpose you push through slots in the frame labeled 4, 'it suitcase, furthermore Slots in a base plate resting against the inside of the frame 4 5 and are folded over with their free ends against the base plate 5. 6 with the bow-shaped case handle is referred to with its one loop 7 is hooked into the bracket 1.

According to the innovation, the legs of the bracket 1 point outwards 8.9 bends that are flattened. The bracket 1 lies snugly with the bends 8.9 on the frame 4 of the case. The brackets 2, 3 are at the free ends of the angles 8.9.

The manufacture of the bracket 1 with the brackets 2, 3 is based on one Cut lo. This consists of the middle part 11 and the

end parts 12,13. The parts 12,13 already have the shape of the brackets 2,3. Part 11 of the blank Io is first deformed so that it has a tubular cross-section. The so deformed part is then in the shape of the bracket 1 with the bends 8.9 bent. The bends 8, 9 are then flattened and the parts 12, 13 of the blank Io are angled.
