ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a luggage, and more particularly to a protective fender of the luggage.
2. Description of Related Art
The outer surface of the luggage shell is vulnerable to damage and is therefore provided with one or more protective fenders to protect the luggage shell against friction. As shown in
FIG. 1
, the conventional protective fender is provided with a smooth protective surface which is not durable and is ineffective in providing the luggage shell with protection against damage caused by friction. The corner edge of the luggage shell is most vulnerable to abrasion. The conventional protective fender is incapable of protecting the corner edges of the luggage shell.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a fender for protecting the outer surface of a luggage shell. The fender has a protection surface extending along the longitudinal direction of the fender. The protection surface is provided with at least one elastic chain or beading, which is partially embedded in the protection surface. The elastic chain or beading serves to provide the luggage shell with protection against abrasion and impact.
The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
