Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a multilayer sheet, a case
of a travel bag, and a method for manufacturing the same. More
particularly, the present disclosure relates to a multilayer sheet
constituting a raw material of a case of a travel bag in which
articles are contained, a case configured by press-molding such a
multilayer sheet, and a case manufacturing device.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Travel bags are used to store and protect articles for
travel. Commonly used travel bags have casters and handles
installed thereon. Travel bags are largely classified into hard
cases and soft cases according to the material of the bag body
(case).
[0003] Most soft cases are made of chemical fibers such as nylon,
polyester, and the like, and have wires formed along the corners of
the bag body in order to maintain the shape. Soft case travel bags
have a drawback in that, if a wire is bent by an external impact,
it is impossible to restore the same to the original condition.
[0004] Hard cases are the most prevalent type of cases on the
current market. The bag body (case) itself is made of hard plastic
such that the same can maintain the shape without a skeleton
structure such as a wire. The bag body is both hard and elastic,
thereby having an excellent function of protecting objects
contained therein.
[0005] However, most conventional hard cases have a problem in that
edges or corners thereof will be broken or recessed inward by
impacts applied to the cases beyond the threshold of elastic
restoration when the cases fall down or drop during a use or during
a transportation while containing users' luggage. In such a case,
restoration is practically impossible, and, even if restored,
traces of fracture such as white lines or wrinkle marks are left
permanently. Therefore, it has constantly been requested to develop
a travel bag, the durability of which can be improved while
allowing elastic deformation.
[0006] Meanwhile, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1189901
(Registration Date: Oct. 4, 2012) discloses a feature wherein a
polypropylene resin composition is used to manufacture a travel
bag. However, it is still requested to develop a travel bag having
a new structure, in order to manufacture a hard case-type travel
bag, the strength of which can be improved further.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Technical Problem
[0007] An aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a
multilayer sheet, a case of a travel bag, and a case manufacturing
device for manufacturing the same, wherein a fabric constituting

having elastically restoring power, the case manufacturing device
including: a first fabric supply portion configured to continuously
supply a first fabric that includes a fabric configured by coupling
of fibers and has multiple through-holes penetrating the fabric; a
first resin supply portion configured to continuously supply a
molten first resin in a directly downward direction; a first roller
and a second roller rotating in opposite directions while
constituting a pair such that the first fabric and the first resin
pass between the first roller and the second roller and become
laminated on each other; a second resin supply portion configured
to continuously supply a molten second resin in a directly downward
direction; and a third roller and a fourth roller rotating in
opposite directions while constituting a pair such that the first
resin, the first fabric, and the second resin pass between the

successively, thereby coupling and combining the first resin and
the second resin via the through-holes.
[0015] The first roller may be configured to directly contact the
first resin; the second roller may be configured to directly
contact the first fabric; the third roller may be configured to

[0016] The case manufacturing device according to the present

the fourth roller and configured to rotate in the opposite
direction to the fourth roller. The surface temperature of the
second roller may be higher than the surface temperature of the
first roller. The surface temperature of the third roller and the
fourth roller may be higher than the surface of the second roller.
The surface temperature of the fifth roller may be higher than the
surface temperature of the third roller and the fourth roller.
[0017] The case manufacturing device according to the present
disclosure may further include a second fabric supply portion
configured to continuously supply a second fabric that includes a
fabric configured by coupling of fibers and has multiple
through-holes penetrating the fabric. The first roller and the
second roller may be configured such that the second fabric, the
first resin, and the first fabric pass between the first roller and
the second roller and become laminated successively.
[0018] The case manufacturing device according to the present
disclosure may further include a third fabric supply portion
configured to continuously supply a third fabric that includes a
fabric configured by coupling of fibers and has multiple

hot wind is supplied and circulated therein; and a molding machine
configured to press-work the multilayer sheet preheated through the
preheater. The slots may be arranged to be spaced apart from each
other in a leftward/rightward direction.
Advantageous Effects
[0020] As described above, according to the present disclosure, the
multilayer sheet includes a first resin, a first fabric, and a
second resin. The first resin, the first fabric, and the second
resin are made of polypropylene. The first resin and/or the second
resin are configured to be transparent. Accordingly, the first
fabric, the first resin, and the second resin can be coupled
tightly, and the compactness and strength of the multilayer sheet
can be maximized. The unique color of the first fabric can be seen
from the outside through the first resin and/or the second resin,
making it unnecessary to mix or apply a master batch in a normal
extrusion type such that a color is exhibited.
[0021] Moreover, according to the present disclosure, the first
fabric is positioned at the center of the multilayer sheet, and the
first resin and the second resin are coated and positioned on both
sides of the first fabric. This advantageously increases the
tensile strength and impact strength of the entire multilayer sheet
to a large extent. In addition, when the first resin and/or the
second resin are configured to be transparent, the aesthetic
appearance unique to the first fabric (the texture type, pattern,
and the like specific to the fabric resulting from interweaving of
a warp and a weft) and the naturalness thereof can be directly seen
from and embedded in the case. It is also possible to provide a
travel bag with an excellent quality even if the manufacturing cost
and manufacturing process are reduced.
[0022] In addition, according to the present disclosure, the first
resin, the first fabric, and the second resin are all made of the
same polypropylene such that, compared with conventional travel
bags made of polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
(ABS), and the like, the product price can be reduced
substantially, there is no need to add a separate impact resistance
enhancer in order to increase the impact strength and the tensile
strength, and no master batch needs to be applied. This provides a
substantial advantage in terms of mass production and industrial
applicability, and, since the weight can be reduced substantially,
the user convenience and bag operability (mobility or the like) can
be maximized.
[0023] Moreover, according to the present disclosure, the
multilayer sheet has a first fabric positioned between the first
resin and the second resin, thereby constituting a multilayered
structure. This substantially lowers the possibility that the
multilayer sheet or the case will be torn by an external impact. In
addition, the excellent elastically restoring power guarantees
that, even if creased or recessed, the same can instantly return to
the original condition. Furthermore, the possibility that whitening
marks will be famed can be reduced substantially.
[0024] In addition, according to the present disclosure, it is
possible to provide a case manufacturing device capable of
manufacturing a multilayer sheet and a case of a travel bag, which
have very excellent compactness, tensile strength, and impact
strength.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0034] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure
will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying
drawings. It is to be noted, however, that, in describing the
present disclosure, detailed descriptions of already known
functions or configurations will be omitted to clarify the gist of
the present disclosure.
[0035] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a travel bag 1 according to
the present disclosure. FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a partial
configuration of a case manufacturing device 100 according to the
present disclosure. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view
schematically illustrating a multilayer sheet 3 according to the
present disclosure.
[0036] It is to be noted that, although the multilayer sheet 3 is
expressed in line type in FIG. 2, the multilayer sheet 3 has a
width in a direction parallel with the rotating shafts 311, 321,
331, 341, and 351 of respective rollers 310, 320, 330, 340, and
350.
[0037] FIG. 3 is for the purpose of illustrating the laminated
configuration of the multilayer sheet 3. The first fabric 10, the
first resin 20, and the second resin 30 may have forms different
from those illustrated in FIG. 3, and may also have sizes larger
than those illustrated in FIG. 3.
[0038] The case 2 of the travel bag 1 according to the present
disclosure (hereinafter, simply referred to as the case 2) is
shaped such that articles can be contained therein. As illustrated
in FIG. 1, a handle 4, casters 5, and the like may be coupled to
the case 2, thereby configuring a travel bag 1 in a complete
form.
[0039] The case 2 may have various foams and sizes as long as
articles can be contained therein. As in the case of a conventional
travel bag, the case 2 may include two separate parts, the edges of
which are coupled to each other by a zipper or the like. In this
case, the two parts of the case 2, constituting a pair, are
separately manufactured and then assembled.
[0040] As will be described later, a pre-molded multilayer sheet 3
is subjected to plastic working through plastic molding such that
the form of the case 2 is made. The multilayer sheet 3 is
configured in a flat plate type, and the case 2 is variously shaped
to be curved or bent according to the mold for pressing
molding.
[0041] The basic structure of the multilayer sheet 3 according to
the present disclosure will now be described.
[0042] The multilayer sheet 3 according to the present disclosure
refers to a multilayer sheet 3 that constitutes the case 2 of a
travel bag in which articles are contained. The multilayer sheet 3
basically includes a first fabric 10, a first resin 20, and a
second resin 30.
[0043] The first fabric 10 is famed by coupling of fibers, and has
multiple through-holes 13 that penetrate the fabric. Particularly,
the first fabric 10 is configured in a thin cloth type and has
through-holes 13 that penetrate the same from one surface to the
other surface thereof. Such through-holes 13 are repeatedly
arranged throughout the entire area of the first fabric 10.
[0044] The first fabric 10 according to the present disclosure may
be made of a woven material, a knitted material, a non-woven
fabric, or a combination thereof. Particularly, the first fabric 10
is preferably made of a woven material.
[0045] When the first fabric 10 is made of a woven material, a warp
11 (the warp 11 itself may be made of a combination of multiple
fiber strands) and a weft 12 (the weft 12 itself may be made of a
combination of multiple fiber strands) are woven to repeatedly
intersect one above the other, as fibers that constitute the first
fabric 10. Accordingly, the warp 11 and the weft 12 foam a lattice
shape, which is repeatedly penetrated by holes (through-holes
13).
[0046] In this case, the width of the through-holes 13 (the length
of one side of each through-hole when the first fabric 10
constitutes a lattice) may be 0.5-20 mm. Particularly, the width is
preferably 1-3 mm.
[0047] The first fabric 10 may be made of a natural fiber, a
synthetic fiber, or a combination thereof, but is preferably made
of a synthetic fiber. Particularly, the first fabric 10 is made of
a polypropylene fiber.
[0048] The first resin 20 is laminated on the first fiber 10 from
one side surface of the first fabric 10, and is forced against and
coupled to the first fabric 10.
[0049] The first resin 20 may be made of a thermoplastic resin.
Particularly, the first resin 20 is preferably made of
polypropylene. The first resin 20, made of the same material as
that of the first fabric 10 as such, can be coupled to the first
fabric 10 more tightly. According to the present disclosure,
furthermore, the first fabric 10 is made of a combination of
multiple fibers such that particles of the first resin 20
infiltrate between fiber strands that constitute the first fabric
10, thereby resulting in film coupling between the two.
[0050] Meanwhile, the first resin 20 may be configured to be
transparent.
[0051] The second resin 30 is laminated on the first fiber 10 from
the opposite side of the first resin 20, and is forced against and
coupled to the first fabric 10. In this case, the first resin 20
and the second resin 30 are coupled to each other via the
through-holes 13 of the first fabric 10.
[0052] The second resin 30 may be made of a thermoplastic resin
and, particularly, is preferably made of polypropylene. The second
resin 30, made of the same material as that of the first fabric 10
and that of the first resin 20 as such, can be coupled to the first
fabric 10 and to the first resin 20 more tightly. According to the
present disclosure, furthermore, the first fabric 10 is made of a
combination of multiple fibers such that particles of the second
resin 30 infiltrate between fiber strands that constitute the first
fabric 10, thereby resulting in firm coupling between the two.
Moreover, the second resin 30 contacts and is coupled to the first
resin 20 via the through-holes of the first fabric 10 such that the
first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the second resin 30 are
coupled in a very stable and robust manner.
[0053] Meanwhile, the second resin 30 may be configured to be
transparent.
[0054] As described above, the multilayer sheet 3 according to the
present disclosure has the following advantages. The same includes
a first resin 20, a first fabric 10, and a second resin 30. The
first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the second resin 30 are
made of polypropylene. The first resin 20 and/or the second resin
30 are configured to be transparent. Accordingly, the first fabric
10, the first resin 20, and the second resin 30 can be coupled
tightly, and the compactness and strength of the multilayer sheet 3
can be maximized. The unique color of the first fabric 10 appears
through the first resin 20 and/or the second resin 30, making it
unnecessary to mix or apply a master batch in a normal extrusion
type such that a color is exhibited.
[0055] Moreover, the first fabric 10 is positioned at the center of
the multilayer sheet 3, and the first resin 20 and the second resin
30 are coated and positioned on both sides of the first fabric 10.
This advantageously increases the tensile strength and impact
strength of the entire multilayer sheet 3 to a large extent. In
addition, when the first resin 20 and/or the second resin 30 are
configured to be transparent, the aesthetic appearance unique to
the first fabric 10 (the texture type, pattern, and the like
specific to the fabric resulting from interweaving of a warp and a
weft) and the naturalness thereof can be directly seen from and
embedded in the case. It is also possible to provide a travel bag
with a high quality even if the manufacturing cost and
manufacturing process are reduced.
[0056] In addition, the first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and
the second resin 30 are all made of the same polypropylene such
that, compared with conventional travel bags simply made of
polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and the
like, the product price can be reduced substantially, there is no
need to add a separate impact resistance enhancer in order to
increase the impact strength and tensile strength, and no master
batch needs to be applied. This provides a substantial advantage in
tams of mass production and industrial applicability, and, since
the weight can be reduced substantially, the user convenience and
bag operability (mobility or the like) can be maximized.
[0057] Moreover, conventional travel bags made of PC and the like
have a problem in that the same are easily creased, torn, or
recessed by impacts and are then impossible to restore. Even if
restored, traces of fracture such as white lines (whitening) or
crease marks are left permanently. In contrast, the multilayer
sheet 3 according to the present disclosure has a first fabric 10
positioned between the first resin 20 and the second resin 30,
thereby constituting a multilayered structure. This substantially
lowers the possibility that the multilayer sheet 3 or the case will
be torn by an external impact. In addition, the excellent
elastically restoring power guarantees that, even if creased or
recessed, the same can instantly return to the original condition.
Furthermore, the possibility that whitening marks will be famed can
be reduced substantially.
[0058] The multilayer sheet 3 according to the present disclosure
may solely include a first fabric 10, a first resin 20, and a
second resin 30 as illustrated in FIG. 3. The multilayer sheet 3
may further include a second fabric 40 and/or a third fabric 50 as
illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. Alternatively, the multilayer
sheet 3 may further include a separate resin layer 60.
[0059] The case manufacturing device 100 according to the present
disclosure is a device for manufacturing a case 2 finally. The
above-mentioned multilayer sheet 3 is also made in the process of
manufacturing a case 2 by the case manufacturing device 100.
[0060] The case manufacturing device 100 includes a first fabric
supply portion 110, a first resin supply portion 210, a first
roller 310, a second roller 320, a second resin supply portion 220,
a third roller 330, and a fourth roller 340. In addition, the case
manufacturing device 100 may further include a fifth roller
350.
[0061] The first fabric supply portion 110 is configured to
continuously supply a first fabric 10.
[0062] The first fabric 10 is manufactured in a fabric type and
supplied to the case manufacturing device 100 according to the
present disclosure. It could be understood that a separate drum may
be provided before the first fabric supply portion 110 such that
the first fabric 10 is wound around the same.
[0063] The first fabric 10 supplied from the first fabric supply
portion 110 is continuously supplied between the first roller 310
and the second roller 320, and is particularly supplied such that
the same is forced against the outer peripheral surface of the
second roller 320.
[0064] The first resin supply portion 210 is configured in an
extruder type and discharges a first resin 20, which has been
heated and melted, in the directly downward direction such that the
discharged first resin 20 is supplied between the first roller 310
and the second roller 320. The first resin supply portion 210 has a
nozzle positioned right above the boundary between the first roller
310 and the second roller 320 such that the first resin 20, which
is discharged through the nozzle of the first resin supply portion
210, is provided by gravity between the first roller 310 and the
second roller 320.
[0065] The first resin supply portion 210 may be configured to have
a predetermined width in a direction parallel with the rotating
shafts 311, 321, 331, 341, and 351 of respective rollers 310, 320,
330, 340, and 350, and the nozzle of the first resin supply portion
210 may also be configured to have a predetermined width in a
direction parallel with the rotating shafts 311, 321, 331, 341, and
351 of respective rollers 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350.
[0066] The first roller 310 and the second roller 320 are
configured in conventional roller types, constitute a pair, and
rotate in the opposite directions. The rotating shaft 311 of the
first roller 310 and the rotating shaft 321 of the second roller
320 are parallel with each other. When the first roller 310 rotates
clockwise with reference to FIG. 2, the second roller 320 rotates
counterclockwise.
[0067] The first roller 310 and the second roller 320 are not
completely forced against each other, but are spaced apart such
that a predetermined gap is formed therebetween. The first fabric
10 and the first resin 20 are laminated on each other and pass
through the gap, thereby being coupled to each other.
[0068] Assuming that the thickness of the first resin 20 discharged
from the nozzle of the first resin supply portion 210 if t1, the
thickness of the first fabric 10 supplied from the first fabric
supply portion 110 is t2, and the gap between the first roller 310
and the second roller 320 is t3, t3 is preferably smaller than the
sum of t1 and t2.
[0069] In addition, the case manufacturing device 100 according to
the present disclosure is configured such that the first resin 20
directly contacts the first roller 310, and the first fabric 10
directly contacts the second roller 320. The first resin 20 and the
first fabric 10 are coupled to each other while passing through the
gap between the first roller 310 and the second roller 320, and are
forced against the outer peripheral surface of the second roller
320 in a predetermined range.
[0070] The second resin supply portion 220 is configured in an
extruder type and discharges a second resin 30, which has been
heated and melted, in the directly downward direction such that the
discharged second resin 30 is supplied between the third roller 330
and the fourth roller 340. The second resin supply portion 220 has
a nozzle positioned right above the boundary between the third
roller 330 and the fourth roller 340 such that the second resin 30,
which is discharged through the nozzle of the second resin supply
portion 220, is provided by gravity between the third roller 330
and the fourth roller 340.
[0071] The second resin supply portion 220 may be configured to
have a predetermined width in a direction parallel with the
rotating shafts 311, 321, 331, 341, and 351 of respective rollers
310, 320, 330, 340, and 350, and the nozzle of the second resin
supply portion 220 may also be configured to have a predetermined
width in a direction parallel with the rotating shafts 311, 321,
331, 341, and 351 of respective rollers 310, 320, 330, 340, and
350.
[0072] The third roller 330 and the fourth roller 340 are
configured in conventional roller types, constitute a pair, and
rotate in the opposite directions. The rotating shaft 331 of the
third roller 330 and the rotating shaft 341 of the fourth roller
340 are parallel with each other. When the third roller 330 rotates
clockwise with reference to FIG. 2, the fourth roller 340 rotates
counterclockwise.
[0073] The third roller 330 and the fourth roller 340 are not
completely forced against each other, but are spaced apart such
that a predetermined gap is famed therebetween. The second resin 30
is additionally laminated on the first resin 20 and the first
fabric 10, which have been laminated on each other, while passing
through the gap and thus become coupled to each other.
[0074] Assuming that the thickness of the first resin 20 discharged
from the nozzle of the first resin supply portion 210 is t1, the
thickness of the first fabric 10 supplied from the first fabric
supply portion 110 is t2, the thickness of the second resin 30
discharged from the nozzle of the second resin supply portion 220
is t4, and the gap between the third roller 330 and the fourth
roller 340 is t5, t5 is preferably smaller than the sum of t1, t2,
and t4.
[0075] In addition, the case manufacturing device 100 according to
the present disclosure is configured such that the first resin 20
coupled to the first fabric 10 directly contacts the third roller
330, and the second resin 30 directly contacts the fourth roller
340. The first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the second resin
30 are coupled to one another while passing through the gap between
the third roller 330 and the fourth roller 340, and are forced
against the outer peripheral surface of the fourth roller 340 in a
predetermined range.
[0076] Moreover, the first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the
second resin 30 are successively laminated while passing through
the third roller 330 and the fourth roller 340. In this process,
the first resin 20 and the second resin 30 are strongly coupled to
each other via the through-holes 13 of the first fabric 10.
[0077] As illustrated in FIG. 2, in connection with the case
manufacturing device 100 according to the present disclosure, the
first roller 310, the second roller 320, the third roller 330, and
the fourth roller 340 are preferably arranged continuously in a
row.
[0078] In this case, the first resin 20 and the first fabric 10,
which have been laminated on each other, pass between the second
roller 320 and the third roller 330, and the gap between the second
roller 320 and the third roller 330 is preferably larger than or
equal to the gap between the first roller 310 and the second roller
320.
[0079] The fifth roller 350 is configured in a conventional roller
type and is arranged adjacent to the fourth roller 340 so as to
rotate in the opposite direction to that of the fourth roller 340.
The rotating shaft 351 of the fifth roller 350 and the rotating
shaft 341 of the fourth roller 340 are parallel with each other.
When the fourth roller 340 rotates counterclockwise with reference
to FIG. 2, the fifth roller 350 rotates clockwise.
[0080] In connection with the case manufacturing device 100
according to the present disclosure, the first roller 310, the
second roller 320, the third roller 330, the fourth roller 340, and
the fifth roller 350 are preferably arranged continuously in a row.
Provision of the fifth roller 350 guarantees that the first resin
20, the first fabric 10, and the second resin 330, which have been
laminated on one another, are sufficiently forced against the outer
peripheral surface of the fourth roller 340. In this process, the
first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the second resin 30 are
tightly couple to one another.
[0081] In connection with the case manufacturing device 100
according to the present disclosure, respective surfaces of the
first roller 310, the second roller 320, the third roller 330, the
fourth roller 340, and the fifth roller 350 are preferably heated
such that each can maintain a predetermined level of temperature,
in order to facilitate coupling between the first resin 20 and the
second resin 30, which have been melted, and the first fabric 10.
To this end, respective rollers 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 may
have heating wires or the like provided therein.
[0082] In addition, the case manufacturing device 100 according to
the present disclosure is preferably configured such that the
surface temperature of the second roller 320 is higher than the
surface temperature of the first roller 310, the surface
temperature of the third roller 330 and the fourth roller 340 is
higher than the surface temperature of the second roller 320, and
the surface temperature of the fifth roller 350 is higher than the
surface temperature of the third roller 330 and the fourth roller
340.
[0083] For example, the first roller 310 preferably has a surface
temperature of about 70.degree. C.; the second roller 320
preferably has a surface temperature of about 75.degree. C.; the
third roller 330 and the fourth roller 340 preferably have a
surface temperature of about 80.degree. C.; and the fifth roller
350 preferably has a surface temperature of about 90.degree. C. In
addition, the temperatures preferably increase gradually along the
direction in which the multilayer sheet 3 is manufactured (the
direction in which the first fabric 10 moves).
[0084] Such a configuration for a gradual temperature increase
guarantees that the first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the
second resin 30 can maintain at least predetermined levels of
temperatures without substantial temperature decreases while
passing through the first roller 310, the second roller 320, the
third roller 330, the fourth roller 340, and the fifth roller 350.
As a result, the first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the
second resin 30 can be stably coupled to one another (unwanted
hardening of the first resin 20 and the second resin can be
prevented). In addition, since the surface temperature of the
second roller 320 is slightly higher than the surface temperature
of the first roller 310, a temperature loss resulting from the
thickness of the first fabric 10 can be compensated for such that
even ranges of temperatures can act on both surfaces of the first
resin 20.
[0085] Meanwhile, at least one of the first resin 20 and the second
resin 30 may be configured to be transparent. In such a case, the
color, texture, and the like of the first fabric 10 can be seen
from the outside through the first resin 20 and/or the second resin
30. Accordingly, the travel bag 1 can be endowed with a color
expression without a separate process for coloring or the like
after the multilayer sheet 3 is manufactured, thereby reducing the
manufacturing process and cost, and the shape of the first fabric
10 (for example, the woven shape) is naturally expressed, thereby
improving the completeness of the product (travel bag 1).
[0086] As described above, in connection with the case
manufacturing device 100 according to the present disclosure, the
first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the second resin 30 are
coupled to one another while passing through the first roller 310,
the second roller 320, the third roller 330, and the fourth roller
(as well as the fifth roller 350), thereby manufacturing a
multilayer sheet 3.
[0087] After passing through the fourth roller 340 and the fifth
roller 350, the multilayer sheet 3 is transferred and cooled, and
is then cut into a predetermined size suitable for manufacture of
each case 2.
[0088] As described above, in connection with manufacturing a case
2 of a travel bag 1 according to the present disclosure, the first
resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the second resin 30 are
laminated and coupled to one another, and the first resin 20 and
the second resin 30 are coupled to each other via the through-holes
13 of the first fabric 10. Accordingly, the first resin 20 and the
second resin 30 are evenly absorbed and coated on the surface of
the first fabric 10, and the first resin 20, the first fabric 10,
and the second resin 30 are tightly coupled to one another. As a
result, the unique color of the first fabric 10 can be seen from
the outside through the first resin 20 and/or the second resin 30;
it is possible to manufacture a case 2 having very excellent
compactness, tensile strength, and impact strength; and it is
possible to provide a multilayer sheet 3 and a case 2.
[0089] In addition, inclusion of the first fabric 10 made of a
combination of fibers makes it possible to form a multilayer sheet
3 and a case 2, the overall tensile strength and impact strength
are additionally improved. As will be described later, the ratio of
fracture during plastic defamation can be reduced in the process of
press-working the multilayer sheet 3 to foam a case 2, and the
ratio of defective cases 2 manufactured can be decreased.
[0090] FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a partial configuration of
a case manufacturing device 100 according to another embodiment of
the present disclosure. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view
schematically illustrating a multilayer sheet 3 according to
another embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is an exploded
perspective view schematically illustrating a multilayer sheet 3
according to still another embodiment of the present
disclosure.
[0091] It is to be noted that, although the multilayer sheet 3 is
expressed in a line type in FIG. 4, the multilayer sheet 3 has a
width in a direction parallel with the rotating shafts 311, 321,
331, 341, and 351 of respective rollers 310, 320, 330, 340, and
350.
[0092] FIG. 5 is for the purpose of illustrating the laminated
configuration of the multilayer sheet 3. The first fabric 10, the
second fabric 40, the third fabric 50, the first resin 20, and the
second resin 30 may be configured in forms different from those
illustrated in FIG. 5, and may also have sizes larger than those
illustrated in FIG. 5.
[0093] The case manufacturing device 100 according to the present
disclosure includes a first fabric supply portion 110, a first
resin supply portion 210, a first roller 310, a second roller 320,
a second resin supply portion 220, a third roller 330, a fourth
roller 340, and a fifth roller 350, as described above. In
addition, the case manufacturing device 100 may further include a
second fabric supply portion 120 and a third fabric supply portion
130.
[0094] Unless specified otherwise, the first fabric supply portion
110, the first resin supply portion 210, the first roller 310, the
second roller 320, the second resin supply portion 220, the third
roller 330, the fourth roller 340, the fifth roller 350, the first
fabric 10, the first resin 20, and the second resin 30 may be
configured in the same manner as described with reference to FIG. 2
and FIG. 3.
[0095] The second fabric supply portion 120 is configured to
continuously supply a second fabric 40. The second fabric 40 is
famed by coupling of fibers, and has multiple through-holes 43 that
penetrate the fabric. Particularly, the second fabric 40 is
configured in a thin cloth type and has through-holes 43 that
penetrate the same from one surface to the other surface thereof.
Such through-holes 43 are repeatedly arranged throughout the entire
area of the second fabric 40.
[0096] The second fabric 40 according to the present disclosure may
be made of a woven material, a knitted material, a non-woven
fabric, or a combination thereof. Particularly, the second fabric
40 is preferably made of a woven material.
[0097] The material, size, and shape of the second fabric 40 may
differ from those of the first fabric 10, but are preferably
configured in the same manner. Accordingly, detailed descriptions
of the second fabric 40 identical to those of the first fabric 10
will be omitted herein.
[0098] The second fabric 40 supplied from the second fabric supply
portion 120 is continuously supplied between the first roller 310
and the second roller 320 and, after passing between the first
roller 310 and the second roller 320, moves so as to surround the
outer peripheral surface of the second roller 320.
[0099] It is to be noted that the case manufacturing device 100
according to the present disclosure is configured such that, in
connection with supplying the second fabric 40 between the first
roller 310 and the second roller 320, the second fabric 40 is
positioned opposite the first fabric 10 with reference to the first
resin 20 such that the second fabric 40 directly contacts the outer
peripheral surface of the first roller 310, and the first resin 20
is coupled to the second fabric 40 and to the first fabric 10 so as
to be interposed between the second fabric 40 and the first fabric
10.
[0100] Assuming that the thickness of the first resin 20 discharged
from the nozzle of the first resin supply portion 210 is t1, the
thickness of the first fabric 10 supplied from the first fabric
supply portion 110 is t2, the thickness of the second fabric 40
supplied from the second fabric supply portion 120 is t6, and the
gap between the first roller 310 and the second roller 320 is t3',
t3' is preferably smaller than the sum of t1, t2 and t6.
[0101] The coupling between the second fabric 40 and the first
resin 20 proceeds in the same manner as that of the coupling
between the first fabric 10 and the first resin 20 described
above.
[0102] The second fabric 40, the first resin 20, and the first
fabric 10 are successively laminated and coupled while passing
through the gap between the first roller 310 and the second roller
320, and the same then move in a predetermined range while being
forced against the outer peripheral surface of the second roller
320.
[0103] In addition, the surface temperature of the second roller
320 is preferably identical to the surface temperature of the first
roller 310. For example, the surface temperature of the first
roller 310 and that of the second roller 320 are preferably about
70.degree. C.
[0104] The third fabric supply portion 130 is configured to
continuously supply a third fabric 50. The third fabric 50 is famed
by coupling of fibers, and has multiple through-holes 53 that
penetrate the fabric. Particularly, the third fabric 50 is
configured in a thin cloth type and has through-holes 53 that
penetrate the same from one surface to the other surface thereof.
Such through-holes 53 are repeatedly arranged throughout the entire
area of the third fabric 50.
[0105] The third fabric 50 according to the present disclosure may
be made of a woven material, a knitted material, a non-woven
fabric, or a combination thereof. Particularly, the third fabric 50
is preferably made of a woven material.
[0106] The material, size, and shape of the third fabric 50 may
differ from those of the first fabric 10, but are preferably
configured in the same manner. Accordingly, detailed descriptions
of the third fabric 50 identical to those of the first fabric 10
will be omitted herein.
[0107] The third fabric 50 supplied from the third fabric supply
portion 130 is continuously supplied between the third roller 330
and the fourth roller 340 and, after passing between the third
roller 330 and the fourth roller 340, moves so as to surround the
outer peripheral surface of the fourth roller 340.
[0108] It is to be noted that the case manufacturing device 100
according to the present disclosure is configured such that, in
connection with supplying the third fabric 50 between the third
roller 330 and the fourth roller 340, the third fabric 50 is
positioned opposite the first fabric 10 with reference to the
second resin 30 such that the third fabric 50 directly contacts the
outer peripheral surface of the fourth roller 340, and the second
resin 30 is coupled to the first fabric 30 and to the third fabric
50 so as to be interposed between the first fabric 10 and the third
fabric 50.
[0109] Assuming that the thickness of the first resin 20 discharged
from the nozzle of the first resin supply portion 210 is t1, the
thickness of the fabric 10 supplied from the first fabric supply
portion 110 is t2, the thickness of the second resin 30 discharged
from the nozzle of the second resin supply portion 220 is t4, the
thickness of the second fabric 40 supplied from the second fabric
supply portion 120 is t6, the thickness of the third fabric 50
supplied from the third fabric supply portion 130 is t7, and the
gap between the third roller 330 and the fourth roller 340 is t5',
t5' is preferably smaller than the sum of t1, t2, t4, t6, and
t7.
[0110] The coupling between the third fabric 50 and the second
resin 30 proceeds in the same manner as that of the coupling
between the first fabric 10 and the second resin 30 described
above.
[0111] The second fabric 40, the first resin 20, the first fabric
10, the second resin 30, and the third fabric 50 are successively
laminated and coupled while passing through the gap between the
third roller 330 and the fourth roller 340, and the same then move
in a predetermined range while being forced against the outer
peripheral surface of the fourth roller 340.
[0112] In connection with the case manufacturing device 100
according to the present disclosure, as described above, the second
fabric 40, the first resin 20, the first fabric 10, and the second
resin 30 are coupled to one another while passing through the first
roller 310, the second roller 320, the third roller 330, and the
fourth roller 340 (as well as the fifth roller 350), thereby
manufacturing a multilayer sheet 3.
[0113] In addition, the first resin 20, the first fabric 10, the
second resin 30, and the third fabric 50 are coupled to one another
while passing through the first roller 310, the second roller 320,
the third roller 330, and the fourth roller 340 (as well as the
fifth roller 350), thereby manufacturing a multilayer sheet 3.
[0114] In addition, the second fabric 40, the first resin 20, the
first fabric 10, the second resin 30, and the third fabric 50 are
coupled to one another while passing through the first roller 310,
the second roller 320, the third roller 330, and the fourth roller
340 (as well as the fifth roller 350), thereby manufacturing a
multilayer sheet 3.
[0115] As such, the multilayer sheet 3 according to the present
disclosure further includes a second fabric 40 and/or a third
fabric 50. Accordingly, it is possible to form a multilayer sheet
3, a case 2, and a travel bag 1 that are more robust, and to foam a
product having excellent tensile strength and impact strength.
[0116] In addition, when the first resin 20 and the second resin 30
are configured to be transparent, the second fabric 40 and/or the
third fabric 50 can overlap with the first fabric 10 and exhibit a
unique aesthetic appearance. This makes it possible to form a
multilayer sheet 3, a case 2, and a travel bag 1 with aesthetic
appearances.
[0117] After passing through the fourth roller 340 and the fifth
roller 350, the multilayer sheet 3 is transferred and cooled, and
is then cut into a predetermined size suitable for manufacture of
each case 2.
[0118] Meanwhile, the case manufacturing device 100 according to
the present disclosure may further include a separate resin supply
portion (not illustrated) in addition to the first resin supply
portion 210 and the second resin supply portion 220. A multilayer
sheet 3 manufactured accordingly may further include a separate
resin layer 60 as illustrated in FIG. 6.
[0119] FIG. 7 schematically illustrates a partial configuration of
a case manufacturing device 100 according to the present
disclosure.
[0120] The case manufacturing device 100 according to the present
disclosure may further include a sheet clamp 400, a preheater 500,
and a molding machine 600.
[0121] After a multilayer sheet 3 is manufactured, a series of
continuous multilayer sheets 3 are cooled and then cut into
predetermined sizes, respectively. The multilayer sheets 3 that
have been cut into predetermined sizes are molded into cases 2,
respectively. The multilayer sheets 3 are preferably cut in the
shape of quadrangular plates.
[0122] The sheet clamp 400 is configured to hold the edge of a
multilayer sheet 3 and has the shape of a quadrangular frame.
[0123] The sheet clamp 400 may be divided into a first clamp 410
and a second clamp 420. The first clamp 410 and the second clamp
420 may be configured as quadrangular frames having the same size
and shape, and may be coupled to each other so as to support the
edge of a multilayer sheet 3 that has been cut in a quadrangular
shape (the edge of a quadrangular multilayer sheet 3 is interposed
between the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420).
[0124] One corner of each of the first clamp 410 and the second
clamp 420 may be hinge-coupled.
[0125] The preheater 500 has multiple slots 510 into which the
sheet clamp 400 is inserted, and is configured such that a hot wind
is supplied and circulated therein. Particularly, the preheater 500
is configured such that multiple multilayer sheets 3 held by sheet
clamps 400 can be inserted therein.
[0126] The multiple slots 510 of the preheater 500 are arranged to
be spaced apart from each other in the leftward/rightward
direction, and respective slots 510 are preferably elongated in the
vertical direction. This guarantees that a hot wind efficiently
circulates inside the preheater 500.
[0127] In order to circulate a hot wind inside the preheater 500, a
boiler and a blower may be formed inside the preheater 500, thereby
steadily heating multiple sheet clamps 400 inserted into the
preheater 500.
[0128] The multilayer sheets 3 heated inside the preheater 500 are
again withdrawn from the preheater 500 while being held by the
sheet clamps 400, and are then molded in the shape of cases 2 by
the molding machine 600.
[0129] The molding machine 600 is configured in a conventional
press molding machine type, and may include a first mold 610 and a
second mold 620 combined with each other with a multilayer sheet 3
interposed between the same.
[0130] Although specific embodiments of the present disclosure have
previously been described and illustrated, it would be obvious to a
