Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the technical field of work or home accessories.
  • the invention refers to an innovative device that facilitates the manual transportation of loads supplied with handles in general, particularly sacks, bags and the like.
  • a first solution consists of simple spongy bodies destined for the protection of the hands. It is clear how such a solution is poorly functional, since the sponge is not capable of protecting efficiently in the case of heavy loads and, moreover, it wears out easily.
  • a closed-ring transportation device comprising a handle 1 and two hooks 3 configured to hang the loads on it.
  • WO2006/122109 in the name of Erickson describes a different device wherein two handles 12 and 14 and a base 16, for example U-shaped, are provided, within which the handles of the load are placed.
  • the handles 12 and 14 can be coupled one to the other by means of clip buttons in such a way as to allow the transportation of the hanged load.
  • Such a device is not comfortable anyway when used since, first of all, it is necessary to proceed with the insertion of the load in the base 16 and then close the handles 12 and 14. Moreover, mainly because of the load, the close buttons can get damaged, thus impeding the closure and use of the device.
  • the device is provided with a body (1) of substantially annular shape comprising an outer surface (8) and an inner surface (7).
  • a longitudinal seat (2; 202, 202') is obtained into which to place the handles of the load, while in correspondence of the inner surface (7) grooves (3, 3'; 203, 203') are provided configured to hold the fingers of a user.
  • Said grooves are realized on the inner surface (7) such as to realize two different handgrips ( 3, 3'; 203, 203' ) comprising said grooves, the handgrips being substantially opposed one to the other.
  • the longitudinal seat ( 2; 202, 202') is located on the outer surface (8) in such a way as to result arranged at least in correspondence of the said two handgrips.
  • the device results versatile since it is reversible on both sides. It is therefore possible to use such a device either on one side or on the opposed side, thus reducing the waste effect and preventing breakages.
  • the longitudinal seat (2) can cover the entire outer perimeter (8) of the annular-shaped body.
  • two widening zones ( 2' ) of the seat (2) can then be provided arranged in a diametrically opposed manner in such a way as to facilitate the gradual widening of the handle towards the body of the load.
  • a respective longitudinal seat ( 202, 202' ) can be provided arranged on the outer surface ( 8 ) in a substantially opposed manner to the relative handgrip and of a length that substantially coincides with the length of the handgrip.
  • the two longitudinal seats ( 202, 202' ) can be respectively provided with a gradual widening zone ( 213 ) for accompanying the opening of the handle towards the load.
  • the handgrips ( 3, 3'; 203, 203' ) can be of different length.
  • the annular-shaped body can comprise a first ( 4; 204 ) and a second portion ( 5; 205 ) conformed according to a substantially overturned U or C shape.
  • the longitudinal seats ( 2; 202 , 202' ) comprise:
  • the longitudinal seats described can be engraved into the outer surface ( 8 ) along its perimeter.
  • the device described can be realized in an only piece by fusion in a die, for example by fusion of plastic material.
  • a pressure injection technique or a cure around an inner core of a light rigid material can be provided.
  • a shaping by means of numerical-control machines of materials in general can be foreseen.
  • the present device comprising a body 1, of a substantially annular shape and that comprises therefore an outer surface 8 and an inner surface 7.
  • a longitudinal seat 2 is obtained, suitable for receiving the handles of a bag or of a load in general, while in correspondence of the inner surface 7 a series of transversal grooves 3 and 3' are provided arranged realizing two different handgrips ( 3, 3' ), or handholds, opposed one to the other to hold the base of the fingers of a hand.
  • the annular-shaped body is essentially formed by two portions 4 and 5 (respectively a superior and an inferior one) conformed approximately in overturned U or C shape.
  • the two handgrips 3 and 3' are respectively obtained on the two portions 4 and 5 in correspondence of the belly 6, 6' of the relative portion (or rather of the U or of the C).
  • the longitudinal seat 2, according to such a configuration, is realized continuous along all the longitudinal perimeter of the outer surface 8 itself. Still, the portion of seat 2 actually bearing the handles will be that substantially coinciding with the length of the belly 6 or 6'.
  • Figure 1 in particular, represents the case wherein the two portions 4 and 5 have the part of belly 6, 6' of different longitudinal length.
  • the length of the handles 3 and 3' obtained results different, guaranteeing two different measures of handgrip with the same device.
  • Figure 4 represents a simple constructive variation wherein two widening zones 2', diametrically opposed one to the other, are obtained substantially in the junction of the two portions 4 and 5.
  • the function of the widening zones is that of facilitating the gradual widening of the handles of the plastic bag towards to body of the bag itself, thus limiting the problem of the curling of the same.
  • a second preferred configuration of the invention foresees instead two different longitudinal seats 202 and 202' of limited length and substantially coinciding with the length of the widening zones 203 and 203'.
  • the configuration of figure 3 represents two different lengths of the handles 203 and 203' to allow the adaptation to hands of different dimensions. Consequently, in accordance with such an example, also the seats 202, 202' result of a different length, thus adapting themselves to handles of different openings.
  • the two seats 202 and 202' finish respectively with two gradual opposed widening zones 213 (analogous to that described also in the first configuration) that allow a better adaptation to the handles of the bag that are widened.
  • Another transport device which does not form part of the invention foresees (see figure 5, 6 and 7 ) an annular-shaped body with an only seat 302 that finishes in correspondence of the base of the ring-shaped body and an only handle 303 opposed to the base. Also this device (see figure 7 ) foresees a widening 313 in proximity of the base to allow the handles of a plastic bag to gradually widen towards the body of the bag itself.
  • the seat 2 comprises a site engraved on the outer surface 8 comprising lateral walls 11 emerging from the base of the seat towards the top (which avoid the lateral exit of the handles, keeping them within the seat) and upper containment walls 12.
  • annular-shaped is to be intended in an absolutely generic manner, or rather not necessarily linked to a circular shape.
  • different shapes from the circular one for example quadrangular or so, can be realized for the purpose and without for this moving apart from the present inventive concept.
  • the longest handgrip 3' or the shortest one 3 it is possible to choose the longest handgrip 3' or the shortest one 3.
  • the handles of the bag or of the load are inserted internally in the possible seats 2 obtained longitudinally. The lifting of the load by means of the device can therefore take place.
