Definitions

  • This invention relates to a support handle for supporting the suspending crossbar in boxes for transporting articles of clothing.
  • Support handles for applying to the two facing vertical walls of a generally cardboard box are known for supporting a metal or plastics crossbar from which articles of clothing are suspended on relative clothes hangers.
  • One of these known support handles comprises an essentially U-shaped plate which straddles the upper edge of the box after folding its upper closure flap outwards.
  • a tubular element to which one end of the crossbar for supporting the clothes hangers is secured.
  • This known type involves a certain complexity in its fitting, which firstly requires the crossbar to be fixed to the two tubular elements, after which the whole unit is fitted to the box. The fitting also requires the upper closure flaps of the box to be previously folded outwards and downwards, resulting in an often unacceptable increase in the overall size of the box.
  • the articles of clothing, which stress the crossbar could result in a lateralal yielding of the box walls, with the consequent possibility of the crossbar escaping from the tubular elements and the articles of clothing falling into the bottom of the box.
  • a support is also know comprising a plastics plate provided on its outer surface with a raised portion for fixing to the box wall and supporting a handle, and provided on its inner surface with a sleeve into which the crossbar is inserted.
  • an aperture complementary to the raised portion of the support is formed in two opposing walls of the box, after which, having fixed the crossbar to the two supports, these are secured from the inside to the corresponding walls of the box.
  • this type reduces the overall size of the box but has all the other stated drawbacks thereof.
  • FR-A-2245544 describes a support handle for the suspension crossbar in boxes for trasporting articles of clothing comprising a prismatic body which may be inserted into an aperture provided in the box, and means for securely ensuring the disengagement of said body once it has been inserted.
  • a support handle for the suspension crossbar in boxes for transporting articles of clothing as described in claim 1.
  • the support handle according to the invention which is preferably of plastics construction, comprises substantially a U-piece 1 with two lateral branches 2,2' and an upper connection branch 3.
  • the two branches 2,2' are also connected together by a tubular portion 4, fixed abuttingly against the inner branch 2' and open at its other end, where it is fixed to the outer branch 2.
  • a tubular sleeve 5 which passes through the inner branch 2' and projects beyond this towards the interior of the box.
  • tubular crossbar 6 for supporting a plurality of clothes hangers (not shown) can be inserted into the tubular sleeve 5.
  • an aperture 8 is firstly formed in said side wall, to comprise a slot provided where the upper closure flap 9 is hinged to the upper edge of said wall 7 and having a length equal to the length of the U-piece 1, and an underlying opening of length equal to the horizontal dimension of the tubular portion 4 and a height equal to the distance between the lower edge of this latter and the upper branch 3 of the U-piece 1.
  • the aperture 8 can be formed by punching, either during the actual formation stage of the cardboard box, or later.
  • each of them is inserted from above with the outer branch 2 through the upper slot of the aperture 8 and then slid downwards until the tubular portion 4 rests on the bottom of said aperture and the branch 3 of the U-piece 1 rests against its upper edge.
  • the tubular element 6 is then inserted into the two opposing sleeves 5 of the two handles, after forcing the two side walls 7 slightly otwards.
  • the U-piece 101 is of lesser height than hte preceding, the outer branch 102 then extending beyond the tubular portion 104 by means of a portion for retaining the sleeve 105 holding the crossbar 106, this portion then bending horizontally at the upper edge, to form a resting branch 103.
  • the aperture to be formed in the two side walls 107 comprises three different portions, ie a lower portion 108 for passage of the U-piece 101 and for housing just the tubular portion 104, an intermediate portion 108' for passage of the tubular sleeve 105, and an upper slot 108" for housing the horizontal branch 103.
  • the support handle according to the invention is fitted to the corresponding side wall 107 of the box from the outside.
  • this second embodiment has a greater resistance to downward tangential withdrawal of the box during its lifting and transportation.
  • the tubular sleeve 5, 105 which receives the crossbar 6, 106 can be replaced by a tubular support 205 in which the crossbar 206 lowerly and laterally rests.
  • the support 205 can be porvided with two opposing appendices 210, with which two corresponding diametrical notches 21 provided at the two ends of the crossbar can engage.
  • said crossbar is inserted from above through an aperture provided in the branch 3,103.
  • this modified embodiment has the further advantages of not requiring even slight lateral deformation of the box for mounting the crossbar, and in addition allows the crossbar to act as a tie bar to prevent any deformation of the box, even under load.
