Back Up Pants Trunk For The Chicago Cubs
This custom case for the Chicago Cubs baseball team was built by LM Cases. The travel case is designed to hold back up game pants.
Each set of pants is held in a custom designed canvas bag used by the team. The case’s internal dimensions are sized around holding 2 bags per shelf. A ½” plywood inner shell is built into the case. The shell features slots cut in via a dado to make the shelves adjustable and or removable as needed. The shell and each shelf is built from ½” Baltic birch plywood and finished with black textured coating. The shell is a standalone unit and is isolated from the exterior case by ½” PE foam. This isolation allows the exterior case to flex as needed and not transfer exterior impacts to the inner shell.
The lid features 4 compartments for small items. Each compartment comes with 6 – ¼” marine grade plastic dividers. These dividers can be configured as needed to accommodate the team’s needs. The front panel and each compartment’s lid is built from 3/8” clear Lexan. The doors fold flat against the lid face. Each door features 2 HD recessed latches.
The exterior case is built from 3/8” plywood laminated with dark blue ABS plastic. 16 deep recessed handles are provided to move the case. The handles are configured in 2 ways allowing the case to ride on its casters or on its back. The case rides on 5 – 4” Colson casters mounted via a ¾” plywood caster board. ½” marine grade plastic runners are located on all sides to allow the case to slide when it is tipped.
Special thanks to Danny and the Cubs for a great project!
