Suitcase Having A Shock Absorbing Function

Abstract

A suitcase includes a case body having a housing and a protective cover covering the housing of the case body. The protective cover has a plurality of air cushions abutting the housing. Thus, the protective cover entirely covers the housing to protect the housing so as to prevent the housing from being scratched, worn or broken due to hit or collision by a foreign object. In addition, the air cushions are located between the protective cover and the housing so that when the protective cover is subjected to an external force, the air cushions of the protective cover provide an elastic buffering effect to the housing of the case body so as to protect the housing of the case body.
