Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate some problems in which an old-aged person having a weak holding power not only hardly holds a large-sized container for use in putting beverage or seasoning material or liquid cooking material having no handle at all such as a can, bottle, PET bottle, paper pack or paper cup or the like, but also sometimes experiences a dangerous situation that the old- aged person drops it, and additionally a direct holding of a cold beverage container with a bare hand causes it to be warmed fast, and in turn a warmed beverage container cannot be held with a bare hand because it is too hot. SOLUTION: A certain cuts are formed in a strong sheet which is hardly broken such as a dustless sheet having an adhesive agent layer as well as a special paper or a non-woven fabric or a resin sheet or the like, and the sheet is formed into a certain shape. The sheet is adhered to a container and a part of the sheet is utilized as a handle. The sheet can be adapted for any shape of the container or its various sizes under application of means for adhering the sheet-like member. There is provided a handle of which handling can be easily carried out.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In containers without handles such as cans, bottles, plastic bottles, paper packs, or paper cups, which are containers for storing beverages, seasonings, and liquid cooking materials,
In addition to making large containers easy to hold even for people with weak gripping power, in the case of cooled beverage containers, it is possible to prevent warming of the beverage by holding it directly by hand, and in the case of heated beverage containers, it is necessary to use hot and It relates to a handle used as an auxiliary tool when it cannot be held directly.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Containers such as cans, bottles, plastic bottles, paper packs, and paper cups, which are containers for storing beverages, seasonings, and liquid cooking materials, for specific large containers having no handles. Although some are made of resin, they are not always at hand, and there is no one that can be used for general purposes, so people with weak grips have had trouble holding large containers.

On the other hand, in the case of a container having a handle integrally formed with the container, the size of the container must be increased in order to secure a space for the handle. The space or the space at the time of distribution is occupied widely, and this has been a factor that causes an increase in cost.

[0004] In addition, small cold beverage cans and warm beverage cans are wrapped by consumers in handkerchiefs or tissue paper, or in a bag-like shape adapted to the container size as disclosed in JP-A-11-318676. It is necessary to prepare a holder according to the size of the container, such as a holder described in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. Hei 5-68840 or Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. Hei 6-30050.

[0005] In addition, for paper cups,
35657, Heikai 5-65816, Heihei 5-933
There was a special item for paper cups like the holder of 37,
None of them was versatile.

[0006] In addition to the above proposal, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-2
A versatile handle such as 36046 has also been proposed, but since it is assumed that the handle is wrapped around the object with a surface tape, the holding force against sliding of the container cannot be said to be sufficient.
Furthermore, since the handle is made of a separate member, the number of parts is large, the manufacturing process is complicated, the cost is increased, and there is a problem of hygiene due to repeated use.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As mentioned above,
Cans, bottles, containers for beverages, seasonings and liquid cooking ingredients
Large containers without handles, such as plastic bottles and paper packs, have no handles, so it is very difficult for people with weak grips to hold them, and there is a risk that they may slip off and slip off.

On the other hand, in the case of a container having a handle integrally formed with the container, the container must be large in size, and a display space for commodities using the container on a display shelf or a space for distribution. Occupy a large area, which causes an increase in cost.

Concerning small cold beverage cans, paper cups containing cold beverages, or hot beverage cans or paper cups containing hot beverages, consumers have to wrap them in handkerchiefs or tissue paper, There was a problem that various things had to be prepared and used.

[0010] Therefore, there is provided a handle that can be used with versatility regardless of the shape and size of the target container, or a handle that utilizes an existing label using a heat-shrinkable tube for a PET bottle or the like. It is.

[0011]

Means for Solving the Problems A hard-to-break, strong sheet-shaped member, such as dust-free paper having an adhesive layer, a nonwoven fabric, a resin sheet material, or the like, is formed by cutting and shaping. By sticking it to a container and using a part of it as a handle, the means of sticking a sheet-like member is inexpensive, convenient to carry, not bulky, and whether the shape and size of the container are small or large. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a handle that can be easily handled regardless of the type.

Further, in a plastic bottle or the like, a heat-shrinkable tube used as a label is perforated, and an existing part formed by removing unnecessary portions along the perforation during use is utilized. It is to provide a handle.
