About Free Lock 行李箱
Free Lock 是一款专为需要短时间将行李无人看管的旅行者而设计的行李箱。Free Lock 的拉杆同时也是一把锁。通过密码锁解除拉杆锁定后，将其旋转90度，即可固定在座椅或栏杆等固定物体上。这样，旅行者便可以在不携带箱体的情况下休息或去洗手间。箱体主要采用ABS与PC塑料制成，材质坚硬且抗冲击。四角包覆铝材，提供额外保护。箱体尺寸为48.5 x 38.5 x 84厘米。

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.
