BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for carrying various objects, and more particularly, to a container handle structure having a double handle for impact resistance or reinforcement.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In many cases, containers for transporting various things are integrally formed using synthetic resin as a material. However, it is necessary to reduce the material while keeping the rigidity of the container to reduce the overall weight. Has been done. One way to reduce this material has been proposed,
For example, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 5, the whole or a part of the side wall is doubled to make the inside of the side wall hollow.

However, in order to double the side wall, a mold for forming the hollow portion is required, and this mold must be removed. As shown in FIG. The end of the double wall will be exposed on part of the product. This exposed portion is generally formed at the lower end of the bottom surface which cannot be seen from the outside during use. However, when an opening is formed in a part of the side wall to form a handle, the exposed portion is the upper portion of the opening. It is also formed on a part of the lower end surface of the heavy wall. The upper part of the opening formed in the double wall is a so-called handle. When the handle is gripped, the following problem occurs.

In other words, on the lower surface of the handle, FIG.
As shown in Fig. 2, the ends of the two wall boards that are separated from each other are exposed, so when holding the hand, the tips of the wall boards come into contact with the palms and fingers, causing pain. I feel it. In particular, when a heavy object is to be put in the container and such a container must be transported or moved, the pain caused by gripping the handle is considerably large.

Therefore, the present inventor has repeatedly studied how to make a container capable of preventing a pain in a hand while making full use of the merits of the container. Was completed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a problem to be solved is to prevent pain in holding a container. In other words, the present invention does not affect the production of this type of container at all, even if the wall plate of the container is exposed, a handle structure that does not feel any damage when grasped by hand. Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide with a simple configuration.

[0007]

Means for solving the above problems In order to solve the above problems, the means adopted by the present invention will be described with reference to the reference numerals used in the embodiments. In the container 10 having an opening 12 which can enter and a handle 13 formed by disposing a rib 11b integral with the two wall plates 11a on the upper part of the opening 12, the opening 12
A tongue piece 14 is integrally formed on the upper edge side of one of the wall plates 11a via a hinge 14a,
A handle structure in the container 10, characterized in that the space R between the wall plates 11a exposed at the lower edge of the handle 13 can be covered by the tongue piece 14.

That is, in the container 10, since the side wall 11 is formed by the two wall plates 11a, the space R between the both wall plates 11a exposed below the handle 13 is formed by the two wall plates 11a. The cover is covered by a tongue piece 14 integrally formed on one of the two sides via a hinge 14a. The tongue piece 14 does not expose the end of each wall plate 11a, so that it can be held. This prevents pain when the hand 13 is held.

[0009]

The operation of the handle structure according to the present invention constructed as described above will be described. First, in the container 10 adopting the handle structure, the side wall 11 of the container 10 is formed by the two wall plates 1.
The advantage of forming by 1a is utilized as it is, that is, not only the material and weight are reduced, but also the shock when the containers 10 collide with each other is absorbed. In addition, this container 1
In the case of No. 0, since both wall plates 11a can be exposed at the lower end of the handle 13, the production itself of the container 10 can be performed using the conventional technology as it is. In particular, the tongue piece 14, which is an important component in this handle structure,
What is necessary is just to form integrally with either one of the wall boards 11a of the side wall 11 via the hinge 14a.

The tongue piece 14 is connected to the hinge 14
Since it is formed on one wall plate 11a by a,
As shown in FIG. 5, if this tongue piece 14 is bent so as to cover the space R between the wall plates 11 a, as shown in FIG. The edge of the exposed wall plate 11a can be covered. Therefore, if the user of the container 10 grasps the handle 13 while bending the tongue piece 14, as shown in FIG. 2B, the palm or the finger of the user is moved to the end of the wall plate 11a. The user does not feel any pain because he does not touch the rim directly.

As described above, in the handle structure of the present invention, it is sufficient if the tongue piece 14 can be freely bent through the hinge 14a. It is even more advantageous if the piece 14 does not return to its original position. That is, in the examples described below,
The projection 15 is integrally formed inside the end of the wall plate 11a on the side where the tongue piece 14 is bent, and the width of the tongue piece 14 can be fitted into the space R between the two wall plates 11a. , Tongue piece 1
If the end of the tongue 4 is bent so as to get over the protrusion 15 and enter the space R, the bent state of the tongue piece 14 is maintained by the engagement with each protrusion 15. . Therefore, when the projection 15 is formed, the handle 1
It is not necessary to bend the tongue piece 14 every time the user grips the handle 3, which is convenient.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a handle structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a container 10 adopting the handle structure.
An opening 12 is formed in a part of the side wall 11 so as to be accessible to human hands. The side wall 11 located above the opening 12 serves as a handle 13 that can be gripped by a human hand.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the side wall 11 of the container 10 is provided between the two wall plates 11a to prevent deformation due to shrinkage of the synthetic resin material and to bend a tongue piece 14 described later. The ribs 11b are formed integrally to prevent the ribs 11b from completely entering the wall plate 11a when they are formed, thereby forming a space R between the two wall plates 11a. It is. Thus, the two wall boards 11
The formation of the double side wall 11 by a is not an essential requirement in the present invention, and may be performed on the entire side wall 11 or only on the portion to be the handle 13. It is.

The lower end of the handle 13 is shown in FIG.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, a tongue piece 14 is formed integrally with one of the two wall plates 11a exposed here via a hinge 14a so as to be bendable. That is, the tongue piece 14 and the hinge 14a are formed of the material forming each wall plate 11a of the side wall 11, and the width of the tongue piece 14 is, as shown in FIG. The space R can be completely covered by making the width approximately equal to the width between 11a. In addition,
Regarding the length of the tongue piece 14, as shown in FIG.
The width of the opening 12 is substantially the same as that of the opening 12, so that the length of the tongue piece 14 is slightly larger than the palm of the user.

The thickness of the tongue piece 14 can be formed integrally with the wall plate 11a to be molded. When the tongue piece 14 is bent and the container 10 is lifted, the tongue piece 14 If it is possible to satisfy the rigidity that does not completely sink into the R, it can be changed in various ranges. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the handle 1
3 is formed so as to have a sufficient thickness to swell from the lower surface of the wall plate 11a exposed at the lower end surface of the wall plate 3 so as to fit the palm of the user.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the space R is formed on the wall plate 11a opposite to the hinge 14a of the tongue piece 14 by a so-called undercut means.
A protrusion 15 slightly projecting into the inside is formed integrally with the wall plate 11a. The projections 15 lock, for example, the edge of the tongue piece 14 folded into the space R, and therefore, each projection 15 is slightly formed. Instead of the projection 15, for example, as shown in FIG. 4B, a locking projection 15a may be formed integrally with the edge of the tongue piece 14 so as to protrude therefrom. is there.
