Lockable drop handle for containers

The innovation relates to a lockable drop handle for containers, especially for packaging containers made of sheet metal, such as barrels, cans, canisters or the like, the free ends of which are facing each other in a box nal-like bulge lying in the longitudinal extension of a are rotatably arranged on the container fixed grip tab.

Drop grips of the aforementioned type are in the most varied Embodiments known and found for a long time Use, especially in large containers, primarily in the packaging industry, with a capacity in the Usually from 20 kg. Drop handles make handling easier, especially when carrying large containers. They are mostly in the upper area of the container body on two opposite one another Sides firmly attached with the help of the grip tabs so that two people can hold the container on opposite sides Lifting or carrying pages with ease, for example when it is full.

The simplest possible use of the drop handles is decisive for the rational and thus affordable use of the drop handles Design and production method as well as its quick assembly.

A frequently raised requirement for drop handles is their lockability, i.e. the possibility of fixing the Handles in certain positions. Such a lockability offers advantages, both for the manufacturer of the container as well as for the bottler and consumer. For example, it has been shown on the manufacturer's side that with assembly, for example with automatic locking the container that FaI! handles as a result of the

Rotation of the container occurring centrifugal forces Spread yourself apart from the container and hit parts of the closing unit, e.g. the protective grille. This is avoided by locking the drop handles.

The advantages of locking the drop handles lieger; with ™ Abdfüüsr and / or consumer Us a. = therein j. that in handling, e.g. moving the container, especially with large quantities, a partial there is considerable noise reduction. Furthermore, the lockability has an effect when repositioning several times or transporting the container by hand to make it easier. After all, it is with the consumer Lockability is advantageous if the container is, for example, at more or less short intervals be partially emptied.

There are now a number of suggestions for lockable ones Drop handles have become known. These embodiments either have the disadvantage that they are too complicated constructed and therefore too expensive or designed in such a way that when the case is swiveled up for the first time - if it grabbed after assembly the lock is removed, so that the drop handle then remains freely pivotable.

In contrast, the task of the innovation is to create a lockable drop handle that is particularly easy to insert its manufacture and design and therefore cheap, its assembly on the container is not complicated and which is especially designed so that the locking can be repeated anywhere.

According to the innovation, this task is solved by that the ends of the drop grip within the cover area of the grip tab each have at least one

Slightly increasing the wire diameter of the drop handle Have thickening. This configuration is effective locking of the drop handle is achieved.

The thickening makes it difficult to rotate the ends of the drop handle in the channel-like bulge and thus a fixation of the drop handle inside

Part of the turning area. On the other hand, however, is through the innovative Raurafona does not have rotational mobility so much more difficult that the movement of the drop handle is combined with a greater exertion of force

Depending on the position of the depression, see the Fallgjsriff-I level, the locking area of the drop handle

After another Merkiaal of innovation, the Vex- thickening urasittelbar ssi end of the free ends of the case— attacked.

The renewal according to the thickening within the covering area The grip tab at its free ends can now open can be generated in different ways. For example, one welding point in itself would be sufficient.

Ends of the drop grip according to the innovation

In the figures of the drawing, 1 denotes the drop grip, which is preferably made of resilient steel wire, the free ends 2 of which are directed towards one another, as in particular FIG. 1 shows. The free ends 2 are rotatably guided in a channel-like bulge 3 of a grip tab 4, which is located in the longitudinal direction and is fixed to the container, preferably in the upper region of the container wall 5. In general, the tab 4, e.g. B. by Buekelschweißung attached to the container. Normally, two drop handles 1 with a corresponding grip tab 4 are arranged on opposite sides of the container.

Alongside the top area of the grip tab 4, the ends 2 of the drop handle 1 have a thickening 6 which slightly increases the diameter of the drop handle 1 and is preferably of a similar nature. As the figure Ί shows, there are two different ones

Embodiments of the thickening 6 shown. While the thickening 6 shown at the right end 2 of the drop handle 1 has a purely punctiform character, for example consists of a spot weld, the thickening shown on the left end of the drop handle 1 is somewhat larger in the longitudinal direction. It has been generated by changing the shape - _T before preferably by squeezing the wire cross-section, the end of the drop handle 1. FIG. 4 shows such a change in shape in an enlarged illustration.

As can also be seen from the figures of the drawing, the thickening 6 is immediately at the end of the free Ends 2 of the drop handle 1, and is arranged perpendicular to the drop handle plane.

The locking of the drop handle 1 results from FIGS. 2 and 3 of the drawing of Figure 2, the drop handle 1 in a Newissen area, freely movable up to about 30 ° is, the drop handle is pivoted further up or down in Pieilrichtung 7 in its rotational mobility inhibited, and this is done by the thickening 6, which is a slight in its area Causes enlargement of the wire diameter. As can be seen from the drawing, the channel-like out- Curvature 3 of the grip tab 4 does have a rotational movement of the drop handle 1, but is within this Bulge 3 practically no play, because when When the thickening 6 enters the bulge area, a resistance occurs.

Ττπ the present embodiment is the lock starting from the horizontal! position of the JFaiigrxfres "1 given up to the vertical position above or below.

Although the arrangement of the thickening G is perpendicular to the
Fallgrixx level will be the most advantageous in itself, it is within the scope of the innovation, accordingly
the requirements to arrange the thickening 6 at a certain angle to the gripping plane. Xn
In a corresponding shape, the locking area of the case handle 1 will then be different.
