Abstract
A set of transportable containers, including at least two transportable containers, each one of the type of a suitcase, a trunk, a chest, a trolley case and the like. The set includes elements for the mutual retention of the containers, which can be actuated in at least one stacking configuration wherein a bottom of a first container is rested in parallel on a lid of a second container in a specific mutual and active arrangement. The elements for mutual retention are selectively deactivatable in order to allow the mutual spacing apart of the containers.
Claims4
A set of transportable containers, comprising at least two transportable containers, and further comprising retention means configured for mutual retention of said containers, which are configured to be actuated in at least one stacking configuration wherein a bottom of a first said container is rested in parallel on a lid of a second said container in a specific mutual and active arrangement, said retention means configured for mutual retention being selectively deactivatable to allow a separation of said containers, wherein said retention means for mutual retention comprise at least:
- a mutual coupling system activatable in said stacking configuration and configured to obstruct the separation of said containers along a first axis, at right angles to said bottoms and to said lids, and a second axis, at right angles to said first axis;
- and
- a selective locking element activatable in said stacking configuration and configured to obstruct the separation of said containers along a third axis, at right angles to said first axis and to said second axis, said selective locking element being selectively deactivatable to allow the separation of said containers along said third axis, wherein said selective locking element comprises a hook, articulated to either said bottom of said first container or said lid of said second container about a rotation axis at right angles to said lid and to said bottom of the respective said container, in said stacking configuration said hook being elastically kept engaged with a respective projection extending from another of either said bottom of said first container or said lid of said second container, in order to obstruct the separation of said containers along said third axis in at least one direction of separation.
