Abstract

A luggage container for a motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle or a vehicle similar to a motorcycle is provided. The luggage container includes a first container part which defines a storage volume for stowing luggage and has a container opening for loading and unloading the storage volume. The luggage container also includes a second container part for optionally closing the luggage container. The first container part has a net assembly in an edge region of the container opening, having a retaining net for at least partially closing the container opening. The net assembly is configured to permit adjustment of the retaining net between at least two positions, in order to vary a portion of the container opening closed by the retaining net.

the net arrangement includes a connecting element between the two guide elements, the connecting element is located at the edge region of the container opening, and the connecting element is configured to position an edge side of the retaining net at the edge region of the container opening.

7 . The luggage container as claimed in claim 6 , wherein
the retaining net is connected at least to the connecting element and to the elastic tensioning element.

8 . The luggage container as claimed in claim 7 , wherein
the first guide element, the second guide element and the connecting element are arranged as a U-shaped guide bracket with the connecting element between the first guide element and second guide element.

9 . The luggage container as claimed in claim 8 , wherein
the connecting element is a center section of the U-shaped guide bracket and connects the first guide element and the second guide element to one another.
