A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A LUGGAGE SHELL AND A LUGGAGE SHELL

A method for producing a luggage shell is based on the principle natural materials with adhesive and / or binder deposited on their surface are laid in multiple layers in the mold of parts or the whole luggage. Mold of parts or the whole luggage with the stacked natural materials is placed in a vacuum press. By creating and applying vacuum， under hot or cold pressing， natural materials adhere to the mold surface of parts or the whole luggage. By acting over time the curing process of the adhesive takes place， result of which is a part or all of the luggage shell. Natural materials are wood veneers or stone veneers or wood or leaves of trees and shrubs or grasses and flowers or hay or straw， which can be combined with inorganic materials or metals or fabrics or leather. After the curing process of the adhesive and subsequent removal from the mold， the edges of the shell are glued together. Surface treatment by grinding and / or polishing and / or varnishing follows; and subsequently the inner space of the shell is provided with a lining and / or an insulating sound-deadening layer. A luggage shell consists of at least one piece， which consists of multiple layers of at least natural materials which are based on veneer or leaves of trees， vacuum-molded and glued with physically curing adhesive. Parts of the shell or the whole shell are， in addition to natural materials， composed of layers of inorganic materials or metals or fabrics or leather. Natural materials of the parts are also wood veneers or stone veneers or wood or leaves of trees and shrubs or grasses and flowers or hay or straw.
