Abstract

There is an opening at the bottom of the longitudinal groove communicating with a groove (3) in the side which has flared en (5,6). The body of the handle (1) is an elongated bar which has a straight top edge without a groove, and the bottom edges with longitudinal groove have indentations (8) to accommodate the user's fingers.

Description

La présente invention est relative à une poignée destinée, notamment, au transport de paquets ficelés et analogues.The present invention relates to a handle intended, in particular, transport of tied packages and the like.

Le document GB 2261336 décrit une poignée composée par un corps oblong présentant une rainure longitudinale. Une telle poignée se prête au transport de sacs comportant des anses ou de colis ficelés par une simple boucle, mais elle ne permet pas le transport de colis comportant des ficelles formant deux boucles disposées en croix.Document GB 2261336 describes a handle composed of a body oblong with a longitudinal groove. Such a handle lends itself to transport of bags with handles or packages tied by a simple loop, but it does not allow the transport of packages with strings forming two loops arranged in a cross.

Le document FR 1235049 décrit une poignée comportant, sur une de ses faces, une encoche en forme de V. Une telle poignée permet le transport de paquets ficelés en croix, mais elle ne permet pas le transport de paquets ficelés en croix à l'aide de sangles.The document FR 1235049 describes a handle comprising, on one of its sides, a V-shaped notch. Such a handle allows transport bundles tied crosswise, but it does not allow the transport of bundles tied in cross with straps.

Le document CH 265364 décrit une poignée constituée par un tube fendu longitudinalement, présentant une fente transversale étroite débouchant dans une ouverture oblongue. A priori, la présence de l'ouverture oblongue permet le transport de colis ficelés en croix à l'aide de sangles plates. Toutefois, l'introduction de la sangle dans la fente transversale est très malaisée, de même que son retrait.The document CH 265364 describes a handle constituted by a tube split lengthwise, with a narrow transverse slot opening into an oblong opening. A priori, the presence of the opening oblong allows the transport of packages tied crosswise using straps flat. However, the introduction of the strap into the transverse slot is very difficult, as well as its withdrawal.

Selon l'invention, la poignée rainurée pour usages multiples, qui remédie aux inconvénients cités ci-dessus, est remarquable en ce que la rainure transversale connue, qui débouche dans une ouverture connue pratiquée sur le fond de la rainure longitudinale, s'évase vers ladite ouverture.According to the invention, the grooved handle for multiple uses, which remedies to the drawbacks mentioned above, is remarkable in that the groove known transverse, which opens into a known opening made on the bottom of the longitudinal groove flares towards said opening.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la rainure transversale s'évase vers son extrémité opposée au fond de la rainure longitudinale. According to another characteristic of the invention, the transverse groove widens towards its opposite end at the bottom of the longitudinal groove.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant au dessin annexé à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation de la poignée de l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est la vue de dessus de la figure 1;
  • la figure 3 est la vue de gauche de la figure 1;
  • les figures 4 et 5 sont des vues, analogues à celle 3, montrant des variantes de réalisation.
The present invention will be better understood from the description which follows, given with reference to the attached drawing by way of indicative example, only in which:
  • Figure 1 is an elevational view of the handle of the invention;
  • Figure 2 is the top view of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is the left view of Figure 1;
  • Figures 4 and 5 are views, similar to that 3, showing alternative embodiments.

De la façon connue, la poignée est constituée par un corps 1, de forme allongée présentant une rainure 2 longitudinale.In known manner, the handle is constituted by a body 1, of shape elongated having a longitudinal groove 2.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le fond 2a de la rainure 2 est plat et sa section peut être rectangulaire (fig.3) ou trapézoïdale (fig.4).According to one embodiment, the bottom 2a of the groove 2 is flat and its section can be rectangular (fig.3) or trapezoidal (fig.4).

De la façon connue, le corps 1 présente une rainure transversale 3 et sur le fond 2a de la rainure 2 une ouverture 4 dans laquelle débouche ladite rainure 3.In known manner, the body 1 has a transverse groove 3 and on the bottom 2a of the groove 2 an opening 4 into which the said opens groove 3.

Selon l'invention et dans le but, notamment, de permettre la mise en place et, ou, le retrait aisé de la poignée sur un colis comportant des sangles plates disposées en croix, la partie inférieure de la rainure 3 s'évase latéralement en 5 de façon à ce que la largeur de ladite rainure soit sensiblement égale, à sa base, à la largeur de la sangle utilisée.According to the invention and with the aim, in particular, of allowing the implementation place and / or easy removal of the handle on a package with straps plates arranged in a cross, the lower part of groove 3 flares laterally at 5 so that the width of said groove is substantially equal, at its base, to the width of the strap used.

La partie supérieure de la rainure 3 s'évase en 6 d'une façon analogue à sa base. The upper part of the groove 3 flares at 6 in a manner similar to its base.

Comme cela ressort du mode de réalisation de la figure 5, les bords supérieurs de la rainure 2 présentent, chacun, un chanfrein 7, incliné vers l'intérieur de ladite rainure et facilitant le glissement de la poignée sous la boucle correspondante du colis à transporter.As is apparent from the embodiment of Figure 5, the edges upper of groove 2 each have a chamfer 7, inclined towards the interior of said groove and facilitating the sliding of the handle under the corresponding loop of the package to be transported.

Afin de faciliter le maintien de la poignée, la face inférieure de celle-ci est ondulée de façon à présenter quatre creux 8 correspondant aux quatre doigts de la main de l'utilisateur.To make it easier to hold the handle, the underside of the handle is wavy so as to present four depressions 8 corresponding to the four fingers of the user's hand.

Dans le même esprit, les faces latérales de la poignée présentent chacune, un évidement 9. Il est à noter que tous les bords de la poignée sont arrondis.In the same spirit, the side faces of the handle have each, a recess 9. It should be noted that all the edges of the handle are rounded.
