Abstract

A handgrip (2) for carrying an article, in particular a grip moulded onto a plastic box, has a plurality of lamellar, vertically extending webs (6) which project perpendicularly from a vertically extending outer wall (1) and extend between two wall supports (4, 5) which start from this outer wall and project horizontally inwards. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Handgriff zum Tragen eines Gegenstandes, insbesondere an einem Kasten aus Kunststoff angeformter Griff, mit mehreren lamellenartigen, senkrecht verlaufenden Stegen, die senkrecht von einer vertikal verlaufenden Außenwand abstehen und sich zwischen zwei von dieser Außenwand ausgehenden horizontal nach innen stehenden Wandstutzen erstrecken.The invention relates to a handle for carrying an object, in particular a molded plastic handle, with a plurality of lamella-like, perpendicular webs that protrude perpendicularly from a vertically extending outer wall and between two horizontally inwardly extending wall sockets emanating from this outer wall extend.

Aus der EU-PS 0 260 698 ist ein an einem Flaschenkasten angeformter Handgriff dieser Art bekannt, wobei die beiden Wandstutzen eine etwa gleiche Länge aufweisen.From EU-PS 0 260 698 a molded on a bottle crate handle of this type is known, wherein the two wall sockets have approximately the same length.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen derartigen Handgriff noch weiter zu verbessern und ihn griffgünstiger und stabiler zu gestaltenProceeding from this, the object of the invention is to further improve such a handle and to make it more easily accessible and stable

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der untere der beiden Wandstutzen eine größere, von der Außenwand weg gerichtete Erstreckung aufweist als der obere Wandstutzen, und daß die Stege an ihren den Wandstutzen zugekehrten Enden mit diesen bündig ausgebildet sind.This object is achieved in that the lower of the two wall sockets has a larger extent directed away from the outer wall than the upper wall socket, and that the webs are formed flush with the ends thereof facing the wall socket.

Dadurch wird eine besonders griffgünstige Form erzielt, die darüber hinaus sehr stabil ausgebildet ist.This gives a particularly handy shape, which is also very stable.

Als sehr günstig hat es sich auch erwiesen, wenn erfindungsgemäß die Stege im Bereich des oberen Wandstutzens nach innen eingebuchtet sind.It has also proven to be very favorable if, according to the invention, the webs are indented inwards in the region of the upper wall socket.

Dadurch ist der Handgriff der Handform noch besser angepaßt und läßt auch das Tragen schwerer Gegenstände handgerecht zu.As a result, the handle is even better adapted to the shape of the hand and also allows heavy objects to be carried by hand.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn gemäß der Erfindung oberhalb des oberen Wandstutzens ein parallel und im Abstand von diesem verlaufender Quersteg angeordnet ist.It is also very advantageous if, according to the invention, a transverse web running parallel and at a distance from it is arranged above the upper wall socket.

Bei einem Handgriff für einen Flaschenkasten od.dgl. ist es erfindungsgemäß besonders günstig, wenn der obere Rand des Flaschenkastens im Bereich neben dem Handgriff im Querschnitt umgekehrt U-förmig ausgebildet ist, wobei neben der Außenwand ein nach unten gerichteter Wandabschnitt verläuft, der über den oberen Quersteg mit der Außenwand verbunden ist.With a handle for a bottle crate or the like. it is particularly advantageous according to the invention if the upper edge of the bottle crate in the area next to the handle is of inverted cross-section in cross-section, with a downward wall section running next to the outer wall and being connected to the outer wall via the upper crosspiece.

Insbesondere beim Stapeln der Flaschenkästen auf Paletten wird der obere Bereich der Kästen einer sehr hohen Belastung ausgesetzt, welche durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung aufgefangen werden kann.In particular when the bottle crates are stacked on pallets, the upper region of the crates is exposed to a very high load, which can be absorbed by the configuration according to the invention.

Eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die lamellenartigen Stege an ihrer von der Außenwand abgekehrten Oberfläche eben ausgebildet sind.Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the lamella-like webs are flat on their surface facing away from the outer wall.

Dadurch wird eine beim Anfassen sehr günstige große Oberfläche des Stegabschnittes erzielt.A large surface area of the web section which is very favorable when touching is thereby achieved.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Stege einen seitlichen Abstand von einander aufweisen, der etwa ihrer Stärke entspricht.In an advantageous development of the invention it is provided that the webs are at a lateral distance from one another which corresponds approximately to their thickness.

Dadurch ist sowohl eine verhältnismäßig glattflächige Oberfläche des mit den Stegen versehenen Abschnittes erzielt, der darüber hinaus aber leicht zu reinigen ist.This results in both a relatively smooth surface of the section provided with the webs, but it is also easy to clean.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Dabei zeigen:

In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. Show:
Fig. 1

Fig. 2
a vertical section through the handle and
Fig. 3
a vertical section through the area of a bottle crate directly next to the handle.

Mit 1 ist die Außenwand eines nicht weiter dargestellten Flaschenkastens bezeichnet, in der ein Handgriff 2 mit einer Grifföffnung 3 vorgesehen ist. Von der Außenwand 1 steht ein Wandstutzen 4 nach innen ab, der die Grifföffnung 3 umgrenzt. Parallel zum oberen Abschnitt dieses Wandstutzens 4 verläuft ein weiterer Wandstutzen 5, der ebenfalls senkrecht von der Außenwand 1 nach innen absteht. Zwischen diesen beiden Wandstutzen 4,5 erstrecken sich vertikal verlaufende, lamellenartige Stege 6, die ebenfalls senkrecht von der Außenwand 1 abstehen. Die beiden Enden dieser Stege 6 sind bündig mit den beiden Wandstutzen 4 und 5, wobei der Wandstutzen 4 eine größere von der Außenwand weg gerichtete Erstreckung aufweist, wie dies aus Fig.2 ersichtlich ist.1 with the outer wall of a bottle crate, not shown, in which a handle 2 is provided with a handle opening 3. From the outer wall 1 a wall socket 4 protrudes inwards, which delimits the handle opening 3. A further wall connection 5 runs parallel to the upper section of this wall connection 4 and also projects vertically inwards from the outer wall 1. Between these two wall sockets 4, 5 extend vertically extending, lamellar webs 6, which likewise protrude perpendicularly from the outer wall 1. The two ends of these webs 6 are flush with the two wall sockets 4 and 5, the wall socket 4 being a larger one from the outer wall has directed extension, as can be seen from Fig.2.

Ebenfalls parallel zu den beiden Wandstutzen 4,5 verläuft ein Quersteg 7, der am oberen Ende der Außenwand 1 angeordnet ist und sich ebenfalls von dieser nach innen erstreckt.Also parallel to the two wall sockets 4, 5 is a transverse web 7, which is arranged at the upper end of the outer wall 1 and also extends inward from the latter.

Die lamellenartigen Stege 6 sind im Bereich des oberen Wandstutzens 5 nach innen eingebuchtet, wie dies in Fig.2 verdeutlicht ist, ohne dabei aber wesentlich geschwächt zu sein. Die Stege 6 und der jeweilige Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Stegen ist etwa gleich breit, wodurch beim Anfassen der Eindruck einer weitgehend geschlossenen Oberfläche entsteht, die aber leicht zu reinigen ist.The lamella-like webs 6 are indented in the area of the upper wall socket 5, as is illustrated in FIG. 2, but without being significantly weakened in the process. The webs 6 and the respective distance between two adjacent webs is approximately the same width, which gives the impression of a largely closed surface when touched, but which is easy to clean.

Seitlich neben dem Handgriff 2 ist der Rand 8 des Flaschenkastens umgekehrt U-förmig ausgebildet, wobei neben der Außenwand 1 ein nach unten gerichteter Wandabschnitt 9 verläuft, der über den oberen Quersteg 7 mit der Außenwand verbunden ist. Dieser umgekehrt U-förmige Rand 8 ist gegen den Handgriff durch ein Wandstück 10 abgeschlossen, das in Verlängerung des seitlichen Abschnittes des Wandstutzens 4 verläuft.Laterally next to the handle 2, the edge 8 of the bottle crate is inverted U-shaped, with a downward wall section 9 running alongside the outer wall 1, which is connected to the outer wall via the upper crosspiece 7. This inverted U-shaped edge 8 is closed against the handle by a wall piece 10 which extends in the extension of the lateral section of the wall socket 4.
