About Free Lock Prtljaga

Free Lock je kovčeg namijenjen putnicima koji moraju kratkotrajno ostaviti prtljagu bez nadzora. Ručka kovčega Free Lock istovremeno funkcionira i kao brava. Ručka se otpušta pomoću bravice s kodom, zakreće za 90 stupnjeva i pričvršćuje za fiksni objekt, primjerice sjedalo ili ogradu. Time putnici mogu odmoriti ili koristiti toalet bez potrebe da nose kovčeg sa sobom. Kućište je izrađeno prvenstveno od ABS i PC plastike, koja je otporna na udarce i vrlo izdržljiva. Sva četiri kuta obložena su aluminijem radi dodatne zaštite. Dimenzije kovčega su 48,5 x 38,5 x 84 centimetra.

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.
