Abstract
A foldable item of hand baggage comprises a body portion and a lid comprising a top portion and a side wall region, zip fastener means being provided at the free edge of the side wall portion and an adjacent part of the body portion for closing the hand baggage. Two types of reinforcement for imparting rigidity to the assembled hand baggage are provided. Inner rigid elements are provided in each of the lateral walls, being held to the rest of the body portion in a manner allowing them to be moved towards one of the front and rear walls when the item of hand baggage is to be folded. Moreover, disposed between the inner rigid element and the body portion are intermediate members which are rigid in the depthwise direction of the item of hand baggage over their entire height which is equal to the height of the item of hand baggage when closed and are flexible in the lengthwise direction thereof so as to provide radius corner sections matched to rounded corner sections at which adjacent walls of the body portion are interconnected.
