Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carrying handle for a container, in particular a large-volume packaging of cardboard, plastic or the like, with a trimmed before use by at least one folding and fixed in this position grip band.
  • Such a carrying handle is generally in the utility model DE 85 15 485 U1 described. This is about a simplified and cost-effective production.
  • a reinforcing tape is glued to a lid part over the ends of the grip band and transverse to the grip band.
  • the grip tape has a fold, which is held together by means of a glue dot. Consequently, in order to transfer the shortened by the folding grip tape in the use position with a carrying strap, it is necessary to solve the gluing point. This can also happen unintentionally, for example when stacking or during transport of the known container, because the grip tape offers starting points or approach surfaces for this purpose.
  • the present invention aims to provide a total remedy.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing a carrying handle for a container of the embodiment described at the outset so that the container can be carried properly and in particular does not suffer any damage during transport or the folding is unintentionally released.
  • a generic carrying handle for a container is characterized in that a folding the folding at least partially overlapping and thereby fixing release tab is realized.
  • the folding can be canceled as needed. Due to the fact that the release tab partially overlaps the fold and, according to an advantageous embodiment, has at least one loose end, the release tab can be removed from the fold manually without any problem. Through this operation, the carrying handle is put into use and transferred by an operator to its use position.
  • the grip tape is applied to the container, in particular on a container top side and / or on side surfaces of the container.
  • the grip strip bears against the container virtually without any spacing and, as it were, conforms to the container surface, no points of attack are made available which unintentionally deform the grip band inadvertently to the carrying loop before deliberately intended putting into use. In particular, no damage and disruptions are to be expected during transport, and the grip band remains intact and is not deformed. Only when the release tab is actively removed by the operator, the strap can be defined defined.
  • the grip band is subdivided into a fixing area and a free area.
  • the fixing area and the free area are connected before putting the grip band into use by folding at at least one end of the free area.
  • the outdoor area together with the fold forms the carrying loop.
  • the free area rests on the container prior to putting it into operation, and in particular on its container top side and / or on one or more side surfaces.
  • the fixing area ensures that the grip is properly connected to the container.
  • the fixing region is fully or partially adhesively coupled to the container.
  • the grip band is composed in a variant of the middle open area, which at its two ends in each case before its use has the fold, followed by the respective fixing region on both sides. In another variant, however, only one fold is provided at one end of the free area.
  • the grip band can be guided overall from one side surface of the container over the container top side to the other side surface, thereby enclosing the container, for example, on a cover provided here in a substantially U-shaped manner.
  • the free area of the grip belt has at its two ends via a respective fixing region, but only at one end of the folding is interposed.
  • the grip band conforms to the surface of the container before it is put into use and forms the carrying loop after it has been put into operation, namely at a reduced cost compared with the previously described embodiment (with two folds).
  • the grip band surrounds the container as U-shaped before its use. In this case, the most often realized a single fold in the region of a side surface of the container and thus largely protected when stacking and arranged during transport.
  • the fold usually has at least two superimposed folding loops.
  • the two folding loops are on the one hand a Fixierfaltungsschlaufe and on the other hand, a release loop.
  • the fixation loop is connected to the fixation area while the free fall loop is connected to the free area.
  • the two superimposed folding loops can easily slide along each other on their facing surfaces along, because so far the two folding loops are not fixed against each other, but rather are held in total by the release tab in its folded position.
  • the Fixierfaltungsschlaufe and the free-flow loop can enter into a releasable connection with each other.
  • release tab is connected on the one hand to the fold and here in detail to the free-fall loop and on the other hand to the packaging or the container and / or the fixation region of the grip band or the grip band as a whole.
  • release tab and grip band can form a structural unit or manufacturing unit.
  • the folding is generally created and fixed before, during or after the application or application of the release tab.
  • grip tape with the introduced folding and then connect to the container and finally apply the release tab.
  • grip band plus release tab can be fixed as a unit together on the container.
  • a technically and visually perfect carrying aid or a carrying handle is provided in the form of the grip band fixed in the region of the fold by means of the release tab.
  • the length of the strap formed from the grip and the folding strap can be varied and adapted to the requirements.
  • This provides an ergonomically advantageous and visually appealing carrying aid.
  • both aforementioned elements can also be used as an advertising medium or provided with an imprint.
  • the folding can be easily placed in the passage during the production of the package and fixed with the help of the release tab.
  • the container may exemplarily be a detergent carton, shoe box, canister, or generally a cardboard container or plastic container.
  • containers can be equipped with the handle in question. Since the carrying handle according to the invention is placed around the container in an U-shape according to an advantageous embodiment, it is possible to work with a relatively long release loop and Fixierfaltungsschlaufe, so that in principle a carrying strap can be realized, which may act not only as a handle for the container , But it can be provided with the help of the carrying handle according to the invention, a shoulder strap. As a result, the container in question - after removal of the release tab - can also be taken from above, for example, from a pallet, so that the possibilities of handling, transport and ergonomic transport over previous embodiments are significantly increased.
  • the grip band and the release tab each have an approximately equal width.
  • the grip band and the release tab extend along the package in common longitudinal extension, usually along the side surfaces and the top side.
  • the release tab and / or the grip are each equipped with at least one adhesive acting adhesive side.
  • the release tab may already be designed from the outset as a one-sided coated adhesive tape, which has no adhesive coating only in the region of its loose end.
  • the adhesive is applied to the grip band or its fixing region usually shortly before its attachment to the container, for example sprayed. Both liquid and hot-melt adhesives can be used here.
  • the invention of independent significance is also a container, in particular a large-volume packaging of cardboard, plastic or the like, for example, which is equipped with a carrying handle of the structure described above.
  • a container 1 is shown, which is not limited to a large-volume, rectangular cardboard packaging.
  • the container 1 may be designed as a detergent carton, which of course is not mandatory and is not to be understood as limiting.
  • the container in question 1 is equipped with a grip belt 2.
  • the grip tape 2 is connected to a respective side surface 1 b of the container 1 and the rest of the one (right) side surface 1 b is guided over a (container) top side 1 a to the other (left) side surface 1 b.
  • the grip 2 encloses the container in question 1 before its putting into use so U-shaped.
  • a release tab 4 is realized within the scope of the invention, which is shown in detail view Fig. 2 recognizes particularly clearly.
  • the release tab 4 at least partially overlaps the relevant fold 3.
  • the grip tape 2 is prior to its use on the container 1 and the two side surfaces 1 b and the container top side 1 a and forms after its use by removing the release tab 4 is a carrying loop 5, as shown in the Fig. 1b can be seen.
  • the opposite of the grip band 2 before use longer length of the carrying strap 5 in the position of use results from the folding 3, which is canceled for putting into use by removing the release tab 4.
  • the grip band 2 is divided into at least one fixing region 2a and an open region 2b.
  • the grip band 2 has two fixing areas 2a attached to the side faces 1b of the container 1 and an open area 2b arranged between the fixing areas 2a.
  • the fold 3 is provided only at one end of the free area 2b, namely at the right end, and logically connects the relevant (right) end of the free area 2b to the fixing area 2a.
  • the fixing region 2a of the grip band 2 is wholly or partially connected to the container 1, namely the respective side surfaces 1b in the embodiment.
  • a liquid, respectively hot liquid adhesive on its the container 1 facing surfaces.
  • the outwardly facing surface of the grip band 2 is free or has at most a protective coating or may have a (advertising) imprint.
  • the release tab 4 which may also be equipped with a pressure on its outwardly facing surface, in any case here carries no adhesive coating. This is easily achieved, as it is in the grip band 2 and the release tab 4 are each substantially rectangular plastic bands that can be made as plastic strips of, for example, PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene).
  • the fold 3 has at least two superimposed folding loops 3a, 3b.
  • a fixing folding loop 3a connected to the fixing portion 2a is realized as well as an unfilling loop 3b connected to the free portion 2b.
  • the two folding loops 3a, 3b lie one above the other over a region of the length L, the length 2 ⁇ L being the extension of the grip band 2 during the transition from the transport position to Fig. 1a to the position of use Fig. 1b represents.
  • the two folding loops 3a, 3b can be releasably connected to each other at their mutually facing inner surfaces.
  • the fold 3 fixing the release tab 4 is sufficient to ensure that the fold 3 does not open inadvertently or the grip 2 forms the support loop 5.
  • the release tab 4 at least partially overlaps the free-fall loop 3b, that is, on the one hand, connected to the fold 3 and here to the free-fall loop 3b.
  • the release tab 4 enters into communication with the container 1.
  • the release tab 4 on the other hand is connected to the fixing portion 2a of the grip band 2.
  • the release tab 4 like adhesive tape with one-sided adhesive coating on the Handle 2 and the folding 3 facing side be formed.
  • a loose end 4a of the release tab 4 is recessed, which logically has no adhesive coating.
  • the Losende 4a is used for manual removal of the release tab 4 of the folding 3 when putting the grip band. 2
  • the grip band 2 and the release tab 4 may each have an approximately equal width.
  • the grip band 2 and the release tab 4 are arranged or extend in common longitudinal extent along the package 1. Based on Fig. 2 It is clear that the fixing region 2 a of the grip band 2 projects beyond its length from the release tab 4 and its loose end 4 a in the longitudinal extent. But it is also possible that the loose end 4a of the release tab 4 and the end of the fixing region 2a of the grip band 2 coincide or the end of the fixing region 2a is thickened by the release tab 4.
