Abstract

The invention provides a luggage system for a single-track motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle or motor scooter. The luggage system includes a luggage-accommodating container to be fastened on the motor vehicle. The luggage-accommodating container, in its interior, has a decoupling device that interacts with an item of luggage to be accommodated in the container. The decoupling device at least partially decouples, from the luggage-accommodating container, travel-induced forces exerted by the item of luggage.

Claims

1. A luggage system for a single-track motor vehicle, comprising:

a luggage-accommodating container to be fastened on the motor vehicle; and

a decoupling device in an interior of the luggage-accommodating container, wherein

the decoupling device interacts with an item of luggage to be accommodated and at least partially decouples, from the luggage-accommodating container, travel-induced forces exerted by the item of luggage.

2. The luggage system according to claim 1, wherein

the decoupling device is formed by an inner wall of the luggage-accommodating container, and

the decoupling device is in the form of an elastic and deformable wall with cavities, which is either in a sandwich construction or made of foam.

3. The luggage system according to claim 1, wherein

the decoupling device includes at least one impact strip or buffer strip which encloses the item of luggage laterally in a circumferential direction,

the decoupling device includes, at the top or at the bottom, at least one impact strip or buffer strip arranged on an inner wall of the luggage-accommodating container, and

the at least one impact strip or buffer strip penetrates into the interior of the luggage-accommodating container to a depth which provides for permanent contact with the item of luggage.

4. The luggage system according to claim 1, wherein

the decoupling device is formed by at least one handle of the luggage system interacting with at least one holder on an inner wall of the luggage-accommodating container, where decoupling is provided for by way of the item of luggage being suspended on a suspension device formed on the luggage-accommodating container or by way of the at least one handle being accommodated elastically on the inner wall of the luggage-accommodating container.

5. The luggage system according to claim 1, wherein the item of luggage is accommodated in a form-fitting or a force-fitting manner in the luggage-accommodating container by the decoupling device.

6. The luggage system according to claim 2, wherein the item of luggage is accommodated in a form-fitting or a force-fitting manner in the luggage-accommodating container by the decoupling device.

7. The luggage system according to claim 3, wherein the item of luggage is accommodated in a form-fitting or a force-fitting manner in the luggage-accommodating container by the decoupling device.

8. The luggage system according to claim 4, wherein the item of luggage is accommodated in a form-fitting or a force-fitting manner in the luggage-accommodating container by the decoupling device.

9. The luggage system according to claim 1, wherein the decoupling device is formed by a tub or base plate arranged in the luggage-accommodating container and accommodated for movement in a transverse direction perpendicular to a direction of travel.

10. The luggage system according to claim 9, wherein the tub or base plate has holders at bottom for the purpose of surrounding or fixing the item of luggage.

11. The luggage system according to claim 9, wherein buffers or stops are arranged in peripheral regions of the luggage-accommodating container to damp or delimit a movement capability of the tub or base plate.

12. The luggage system according to claim 10, wherein buffers or stops are arranged in peripheral regions of the luggage-accommodating container to damp or delimit a movement capability of the tub or base plate.

13. The luggage system according to claim 1, wherein the decoupling device is formed by a hanging device which hangs down freely, is fastened on the luggage-accommodating container in a filling region and in which the item of luggage is to be placed in position and transported in a freely hanging state.

14. The luggage system according to claim 13, wherein the hanging device is in the form of an elastic netting or an elastic rubber tub.
