ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to luggage, and more particularly to a structure for fastening a protective strip on the shell of the luggage.
BACKGROUND ART
As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and 2
, prior art luggage shell
1
is provided with a protective strip
10
, which is fastened to the outer surface of the luggage shell
1
by a plurality of rivets
12
in conjunction with the riveting holes
11
.
Such a prior art protective strip
10
as described above is defective in design because it is apt to strip off the luggage shell
1
, and because the installment of the protective strip
10
results in an added labor cost to the production of the luggage, and also because the rivets
12
undermine the aesthetic effect of the luggage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide luggage with one or more protective strips which are fastened to the outer surface of the shell of the luggage in such a way that the addition of the protective strips does not complicate the production of the luggage, and that the addition of the protective strips does not undermine the aesthetic effect of the luggage shell.
The objective, features, and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
