Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1800560A1] The construction of a suitcase (1), trolley, trunk, beauty-case, brief-case or alike items of luggage with a substantially rigid material, is modified in a manner to permit to the traveller to render his own luggage immediately recognizable, even at a distance, from other substantially identical items of luggage, in a practically unalterable manner, unless being able to access the interior of the item.The item of luggage of rigid material, has at least one of its side panels (2) (or optionally both) with an area (3) recessed from the plane of the outer surface of the side panel and the recessed area has a stepped perimeter. A transparent screen (5) rests on a step surface of the stepped perimeter of the recessed area to define a confined space (6) over said recessed area for accommodating a flat distinctive object of recognition/personalization of one's own items among identical items of luggage. The transparent screen is held by fasteners that are releasable only from inside the item of luggage.
