The Design

About Free Lock Bagage

Free Lock er en kuffert designet til rejsende, som er nødt til at efterlade deres bagage uden opsyn i kortere perioder. Håndtaget på Free Lock fungerer også som en lås. Håndtaget udløses med en kodelås, drejes 90 grader og fastgøres til en fast genstand, såsom et siddemøbel eller et gelænder. Rejsende kan derefter slappe af eller benytte et toilet uden at skulle bære kufferten med sig. Kroppen er primært fremstillet af ABS- og PC-plastik, som er hårdt og modstandsdygtigt over for stød. De fire hjørner er beklædt med aluminium for ekstra beskyttelse. Kufferten måler 48,5 x 38,5 x 84 centimeter.

Production Technology: Mainly using ABC+PC material, impact resistance, high hardness, strong toughness, cheap price. The four corners are covered with aluminum metal for protection.
Design Challenge: This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
Research: 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.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 in Anhui and finished in May 2019 in that place, and was exhibited in Shantou in June 2019.
Operation Flow: First of all, find a fixed area such as a common area or a railing. Then the user opens the handle of Free Lock through the coded lock . Turn the handle of the luggage 90° and lock it. After that users can rest assured to go to the toilet or concentrate on rest.
