Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9835577A1] The invention relates to a suitcase with interchangeable case-shells, the central part of which (10) includes two stable half-frames (20, 30) bearing one against the other. Said half-frames (20, 30) are used as supports for the two case-shells (41, 42) of the suitcase. Each shell is detachably connected to the half-frame (20, 30) assigned to it. In order to ensure mutual support of the load, each shell (41, 42; 51, 52) edge is extended, at least in partial portions, by a flange (43, 44) the length of which is chosen so as to ensure that, when the suitcase is closed, the flange of the first shell (41; 51) and the flange (44) of the second shell (42; 52) abut against each other.
