Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1, such as for example US 4,351,448 known.
  • Containers of the type mentioned are manifold known and serve the storage and storage of different objects and solid, liquid and gaseous substances.
  • a vessel has in its interior a cavity which primarily serves the purpose of separating its contents from its environment.
  • Containers are differentiated according to their function, material, dimensions and their load capacity.
  • the form-containing enclosure of the container may be rigid or elastic, d. H. made of wood, paper, cardboard, iron, steel, light metal and plastics or combinations of these materials or of composite materials.
  • the vessel is a device which has a rigid and rigid casing and can hold a content of different consistency.
  • another area of application of containers is the protection of the contents from external influences and, conversely, the protection of the environment from the dangers of contents in storage and transport.
  • Integral components of containers are often handles and, in the case of closable containers provided with a lid, closure devices for closing the container.
  • the handles are primarily designed in the form of handles that allow an in-the-hands take the container.
  • the handles have different shapes and can be present, for example, in the form of a pawl, a pommel or a handle.
  • drinking containers of different shapes with a handle. Since all these handles must allow a grab of the hand, they are designed so that they are additionally formed on the container or how it is, for example, the case with milk cans, provided with movable handles. What is common to these handles is that they are usually loop-shaped bent, laterally or above the container are arranged.
  • the handle extends in the case of a closed state of the container in the circumferential direction of the container or is arranged such that it initially extends in the circumferential direction in order to then converge towards the container.
  • the handle may rest on the container in such a way that the part of the handle which allows taking in the hands adapts to the shape of the container.
  • the closure devices of the container have complementary closure elements, wherein in the closed state, a closure element arranged at one end of the handle and a closure element arranged on the lid interact.
  • containers of the type mentioned have the disadvantage that they do not always allow a safe in-the-hands-take.
  • the present invention has the object to provide a container with a movable handle, which allows a safe in-the-hands-taking.
  • the invention provides that between the closure element of the handle and the part of the handle, which allows an in-the-hand-take, a hinge is arranged.
  • the swivel fulfills two functions. Firstly, by the non-rigid connection between the closure element of the handle and the part of the handle, which allows taking in hand, the handle, which is preferably designed arcuate, are moved away from the container, so that a grab the Hand is possible to hold the container safely in the hand. At the same time the non-rigid connection allows a spatial movement of the handle in the direction of the container until the handle rests against the container.
  • the closure member of the handle is rotatably mounted on the container.
  • a circumferential pin-shaped part is mounted on the container, the end facing away from the container with the closure element of the handle is firmly connected.
  • the circumferential pin-shaped part is rotatable about its longitudinal axis and mounted on the container, thereby ensuring that the closure element of the handle and thus the handle itself is rotatably mounted on the container.
  • the closure element of the handle has a recess.
  • the closure element of the handle has a recess.
  • the lid is connected via a hinge to the container.
  • the hinge creates a moveable connection between the container and its lid.
  • the hinge is located opposite the closure device of the container.
  • the side of the container is an L-shaped or an upwardly and both sides open arcuate part is arranged.
  • the arcuate part may also have a center in the middle, whereby the spatial distance between the container and the arcuate part is further increased. In the closed state of the container, the handle which abuts the container is then fitted in the L-shaped or arcuate part.
  • the closure element arranged on the lid is a cylindrical part with a flattened or rounded end which is arranged offset from the lid and by means of a connecting piece with the lid connected is.
  • a practicable variant of the invention provides that the container is oval-shaped. Also, the container may be circular in the invention.
  • the lid is provided at its edge with a downwardly extending rubber seal.
  • This rubber seal sits in a closed state on the peripheral upper edge of the container.
  • the rubber seal can have a width between 0.5 cm and 2.5 cm.
  • the container according to the invention can be composed of different materials.
  • the lid is made of metal or hard PVC.
  • the container may be provided with a metal ring which extends from the upper edge of the container downwards, preferably 2 cm to 5 cm.
  • the container below the metal ring has a container wall of soft deformable material, in particular made of rubber or foil.
  • a container wall made of soft deformable material has the advantage that it upwards, d. H. in the direction of the metal ring is compressible.
  • the container wall and the metal ring are preferably welded together.

  • the metal ring 12 is also provided with an upwardly and on both sides open part 14 into which in the closed state of the container 100, the handle 13 is fitted. By pressing the handle 13 in the direction of arrow P, the handle 13 can be out of the part 14 and insert again.
  • the container wall 11, which is disposed below the metal ring 12 and connected thereto, may be made of materials such as foil or rubber and has a height from about 15 cm up. This can be larger or smaller depending on the intended use of the container 100.
  • the handle 13 initially extends in the circumferential direction of the container 100, and then converges towards the container 100, in such a way that the handle 13, starting from the closure device 16, initially extends at a distance from the container 100, and then centrally between the closure device 16 and the hinge 15 to be fitted in the part 14.
  • the part of the handle 13 that allows taking in hand thus abuts the container 100 so as to conform to the shape of the container 100.
