The present invention relates to a device for closing and coupling luggage and the like, particularly for motorcycles.
Recently it has become popular to apply on the rear rack of motorcycles, both low- and high-powered ones, luggage or rigid bags which are applied by means of bracket-like elements provided on the case to engage coupling pins provided on the racks.
Such luggage are disclosed in prior patents in the name of the same Applicant, such as for example Italian patents 1,154,627 and no. 201,809, which are assumed included herein as reference.
The greatest problems of current motorcycle luggage, such as carryall cases, bags etc. are linked to two factors; namely, first of all the need to prevent theft of the cases or rigid bags, and secondly the need to provide easy opening of the case, combined with easy uncoupling of the case from the motorcycle, obviously by the user who owns a related opening key.
Furthermore, due to reasons which are also linked to the streamline of the motorcycle, it is important to eliminate the fixed external handle of the case, which currently protrudes from the body of most carryall cases or rigid bags installed on motorcycles.
