Abstract
An equipment case comprising a body and a door includes a compound hinge system connecting the door and the body which allows the door to rotate 270 degrees relative to the body. The compound hinge system has a hinge and a plurality of pins which engage the body or the door. The door can be removed by lifting on the door such that the pins are disengaged from the body. The door of the equipment case can be secured to the body by one or more latch systems. The equipment case may further comprise integrated platforms molded into the corners of an interior chamber of the case. The platforms comprise inserts which are configured to engage a shock absorber or frame.
Description
- The present invention relates to cases, such as rigid cases for transporting and/or storing products such as electronics and musical equipment. In particular, the invention relates to a case with a compound hinge system that allows the door to be removed entirely or to swing out and completely around to lie flat against the side of the case. The invention also relates to molded platforms integrated into the interior of the case having inserts that are adapted to engage a support frame or shockrack frame system.
- Durable cases for electronics, musical equipment and other equipment including a support frame or shockrack frame are well known in the art. Current cases require a user to detach multiple latches, usually about eight latches, in order to open and/or remove the one or more doors. This results in a large amount of time being spent to access the contents of the case. When two or more cases are stacked on top of each other, the latches may be inaccessible making displacement of the door impossible. In addition, for systems in which the door is secured by a hinge, the door is unable to swing entirely out of the way. This results in the door interfering with access to the contents of the case and prevents a user from placing cases in close proximity to each other. Accordingly, a lockable case that includes a compound hinge system which reduces the number of latches necessary to open and/or remove the door of the case would be considered useful. In addition, a hinge that allows the door of the case to swing entirely out of the way would be considered useful.
- Current support frames and shockrack frames are secured to the case by a metal frame platform which adds additional weight to the case. The cost of production of the case is increased in such systems because of the need to manufacture the metal platforms. In addition, attaching the frame to the metal platform may be cumbersome and require many steps. Accordingly, a case which includes molded platforms integrated into the interior of the case to facilitate use of a frame system and reduce the weight and cost of the case would be considered useful.
- The present invention is directed to a compound hinge system and integrated platform molding embodied in a relatively rigid case. The case comprises a body and a door which are removably coupled by one or more latches and one or more compound hinge systems. The compound hinge system comprises a hinge and a plurality of pins which connect the hinge to the door or body of the case. The compound hinge system allows the door to swing within a range of about 270 degrees such that the door of the case may rest against a side wall of the case. In addition, the door may be easily removed by a user by lifting up on the door and/or hinge when the door is open. This results in displacement of the pins which were inserted into the body of the case. The door can be reinstalled by lowering the pins into the openings disposed on the body of the case.
- The interior chamber of the case comprises molded platforms having inserts integrated into the corners of the case which are configured to be connected with a support frame such as a shockrack frame system. Each molded platform includes one or more inserts adapted to receive a shock absorber or snubber. The shock absorber can be screwed into or otherwise attached to the molded platform inserts and then a shockrack frame can be attached to the shock absorber.

The cut-outchannel 360 facilitates attaching thehinge 310 to thedoor 100. In a preferred embodiment, thelower door pin 330 is fixedly attached to thehinge 310 and theupper door pin 340 is inserted through the cut-outchannel 360. In such an embodiment, in order to attach thehinge 310 to thedoor 100, the fixedlower door pin 330 is inserted into the complimentary lower door pin channel oropening 140 disposed on thedoor 100. Thehinge 310 is then positioned such that the opening for the cut-outchannel 360 is aligned with the upperdoor pin opening 150. Theupper door pin 340 is then inserted into the cut-outchannel 360 and moved upwardly to enter the upperdoor pin opening 150. Preferably, the cut-outchannel 360 is configured to fixedly couple theupper door pin 340 to thehinge 310 when theupper door pin 340 is inserted. - The
body 200 of thecase 50 comprises two or more recessedportions 210 configured to receive thelateral extensions 316 of the hinge 310 (FIG. 4A ). For example, for acase 50 having twocompound hinge systems 300, two pair ofrecesses 210 are disposed on thebody 200 of the case 50 (FIG. 4B ). Aside wall 214 and aback wall 218 of the recessedportion 210 preferably form a right angle (FIG. 5 ). In this configuration, thehinge 310 may rotate relative to an axis defined by the body pins 320 in approximately a 90 degree angle when the body pins 320 are inserted into thebody pin openings 230. Alternatively, the angle of the recessedportion 210 may be varied to allow thehinge 310 to rotate in a larger or smaller range. Thebottom wall 220 of each recessedportion 210 of thebody 200 comprises a receiving channel or body pin opening 230 configured to receive thebody pin 320 disposed within thelateral extensions 316 of the hinge 310 (FIGS. 4A and 4B ). Preferably, the height HB of the recessedportions 210 disposed on thebody 200 are greater than the combined height HC of thelateral extension 316 of thehinge 310 and the exposed portion of thebody pin 320. As described further below, this allows a user to raise thedoor 100 and disengage thedoor 100 from thebody 200. - The
door 100 comprises one or more recessedportions 130 configured to receive the hinge 310 (FIG. 3 ). In a singlecompound hinge system 300, the recessedportion 130 extends from anupper door region 134 to alower door region 136. Thedoor 100 also comprises two or more pair of door pin receiving channels oropenings side region 314 of the hinge 310 (FIGS. 4A and 4B ). Preferably, the twodoor pin openings door openings hinge 310 to thedoor 100, and allows thedoor 100 to rotate relative to an axis defined by the door pins 330 approximately 180 degrees relative to thehinge 310. Thus, by combining the axes of rotation of the two hinge connection points, thedoor 100 may rotate approximately 270 degrees relative thebody 200. In cases having twocompound hinge systems 300, anintermediate door region 170 protrudes from two recessedportions 130 and includes a pair ofdoor pin openings 175 each configured to receivedoor pins 330, 340 (FIG. 4B ). - In a preferred embodiment the
door 100 andbody 200 comprise one or morecomplimentary latch systems 400 disposed on the side opposite the compound hinge 300 (FIGS. 1-3 ). Thelatch systems 400 may be of any form known in the art. Preferably, one or more of thelatch systems 400 include a lock (not shown) for securing thedoor 100 to thebody 200. If two ormore cases 50 have been stacked on top of each other, thelatch systems 400 can be engaged or disengaged as necessary without the need to unstack the cases. By requiring only one or twolatch systems 400, thecase 50 can be rapidly opened by a user allowing for rapid deployment and quick access to the contents of the case. - In a further embodiment, the
door 100 may comprise means for securing thedoor 100 to thebody 200 when thedoor 100 is in the full open position and lies flat against theside 204 of thecase 50 as shown inFIG. 3 . For example, thedoor 100 may comprise a catch, cord, protrusion or the like that can be removably coupled with a complimentary structure such as a hook, catch or slot (not shown) on thebody 200. The securing means (not shown) may be disposed at the end of thedoor 100 or may be disposed on theexterior face 104 of thedoor 100. - The
interior chamber 205 of thecase 50 comprises moldedplatforms 250 disposed at the each of thecorners 260 of the case 50 (FIGS. 6A, 6B , and 7).

Thecase 50 may also include other features known to those in the art such ashandles 700, mating grooves for stackingcases 800, and the like (FIGS. 1-3 and 8). - In operation, a
case 50 includes abody 200 and adoor 100 with thedoor 100 being secured to thebody 200 by one or morecompound hinge systems 300 and one or more latch systems 400 (FIGS. 1-3 ). If thecase 50 is in the closed position, thelatch systems 400 are engaged and may be locked. To open thecase 50, the user unlocks thecase 50 and disengages thelatch systems 400. Once the one ormore latches 400 are disengaged, thedoor 100 may be swung in the direction indicated by the arrow inFIG. 1 . As shown inFIG. 3 , thedoor 100 may be swung such that theexterior face 104 of thedoor 100 is adjacent to theside 204 of thebody 200. In this position, thedoor 100 rests along theside 204 of thebody 200 and does not obstruct access to theinterior chamber 205 of thecase 50. In addition, thedoor 100 does not obstruct a user from placing other cases or equipment in close proximity to theside 204 of thecase 50 because the profile of thedoor 100 is reduced. When thedoor 100 is fully opened such that thedoor 100 lies flat against theside wall 204 of thebody 200, thedoor 100 may be secured to thebody 100 if a securing means is present. - If desired, the user may remove the
door 100 and hinge 310 from thecase 50 when thedoor 100 is open. Thedoor 100 and hinge 310 may be removed by lifting on thedoor 100 and/or hinge 310 to displace the body pins 320 from the body pin openings 230 (FIGS. 4A and 4B ). Once the body pins 320 have been removed from thebody pin openings 230, thehinge 310 anddoor 100 can be moved out and away from thebody 200 of thecase 50. Removal of thedoor 100 facilitates use of the contents of thecase 50 and creates additional space for use of other equipment. In order to close thecase 50, thedoor 100 may be reattached by placing the body pins 320 in thebody pin openings 230 and then swinging thedoor 100 to the closed position. Thelatch systems 400 can then be engaged and thecase 50 can be locked if desired. - While the invention is susceptible to various modifications, and alternative forms, specific examples thereof have been shown in the drawings and herein described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not to be limited to the particular forms or methods disclosed, but to the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
