More about the unique "Liteflite" Construction

The criteria for the design called for the construction of the very
best lightweight cases possible, encompassing the use of the finest
modern materials. The result is a range of cases manufactured using a
unique composite double moulded construction which gives unparalleled
protection for your instrument from a lightweight case with a
low/medium retail price range.

The construction consists of a moulded, high impact resistant A.B.S. plastic outer
shell, bonded directly to an inner moulding manufactured from a unique
blend of 'High Tech' cellular foam. This inner moulding is feather
light and, being semi-rigid, is designed to soak up impact shocks from
the outside world. The UNIQUE bonding of the inner moulding to the
outer shell gives unbeatable, total structural rigidity which is
UNMATCHED BY ANY OTHER CASE IN THE WORLD in our price range.

Acrylonitrile Butadeine Styrene, (A.B.S.) due to it's unique balance of
properties, produces mouldings which have strength, toughness and
rigidity over a wide temperature range. These characteristics make it
first choice for applications throughout manufacturing businesses
world-wide - from computer housings to motor car bumpers - and of
course, Hiscox cases!

The case lining is completed with a crushed velvet type fabric of
different grades depending on case type. This is bonded directly onto
the shaped foam moulding giving a neatly tailored luxurious feel,
perfectly fitted every time. Extra cushioning is provided by
upholstered pads in the PRO and Artist ranges which are factory fitted
in key areas. These can also be supplied loose in order that the body
cavity may be customised to provide a closer fit for a particular
instrument.

The aluminium valance is unique to Hiscox Cases. It's design not only
increases the rigidity of the case, but ensures a positive location of
lid to base when the two halves are closed. Unlike any other case
available on the market, the valance extends deep inside the case
behind the plastic shell, into which all the hardware (handles,
catches, hinges etc.) is riveted. This method of fixing greatly reduces
the possibility of fittings working loose. With their incredible
structural rigidity, all Hiscox 'Liteflite' cases exhibit enormous
crush strength - even our standard case range have has been tested to
over 500kg (five fully grown people).
