About Free Lock Equipatge
Free Lock és una maleta dissenyada per a viatgers que han de deixar l'equipatge sense vigilància durant curts períodes. La nansa de Free Lock també funciona com a pany. La nansa s'allibera amb un pany codificat, es gira 90 graus i es fixa a un objecte fix, com un seient o una barana. Així, els viatgers poden descansar o utilitzar el lavabo sense haver de portar la maleta a sobre. El cos està fabricat principalment amb plàstic ABS i PC, un material dur i resistent als impactes. Les quatre cantonades estan recobertes d'alumini per oferir una protecció addicional. La maleta fa 48,5 per 38,5 per 84 centímetres.

- According to the survey, most airports and stations have toilets the size of which cannot accommodate a large luggage. Carrying a luggage into the toilet is inconvenient. According to statistics, most people choose to enter the airport lounge half an hour to an hour in advance, during this period of time people should be careful about the problem of lost luggage.
- Inspiration
- The experience in lounge inspired me to come up with the project. My job requires travel. When I wait for train or plane, I must watch my luggage even I want to rest. In addition, I have to take my luggage into the toilet. This made my trip difficult. I was inspired by the lock and wanted to design a luggage that could be safely locked in a fixed area.
