ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides unique hinge means comprising three components, two of which are wedge shaped members or segments which slidably pivot relative to each other about a central pivot point and the third being a base bracket pivotably attached to the center wedge whereby the two wedge members fan open relative to the base bracket in operational sequence.
The present hinge finds particular application for use in a solid rigid suitcase and which is adapted for retaining garments in a full length arrangement. The present suitcase comprises two halves operably connected along their bottom portions by opposing pairs of expanding hinges positioned at each end. Each hinge in turn further comprises the structure recited above whereby the two wedge shaped members slidably pivot relative to each other about a central pivot point defined by a longitudinal hinge connecting one suitcase half to a butt plate portion located along the bottom of the suitcase which in turn is similarly hinged on its opposite side to the other remaining suitcase half such that when the suitcase is open in an extended position there is no compartment wall defined between the adjoining bottom portions of the suitcase halves.
