Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle structure for a mesh basket, and more specifically, it is applied to a relatively small mesh basket and is detachably attached to the outside of the mesh basket to handle the mesh basket. It is related to the handle structure of the net cage that makes the operation convenient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a net basket having an upward opening formed by connecting a plurality of bending rods formed by bending a metal wire has been put into practical use.

In this type of net basket, a relatively large net basket has handles attached to two positions of the opening frame rod of the net basket, which is convenient for lifting and moving the net basket. Many of them have a structure.

On the other hand, a small net basket can be easily carried or moved for each car even when the contents are accommodated therein. Therefore, it is particularly inconvenient to use without a handle. Since there is no handle, most of them are not available on the market. Also, small mesh baskets are relatively large in number because they are easily used to store various items.
In many cases, the lower part of the upper net basket is inserted into the lower net basket to be stacked so that it can be stored in a small volume.

[0005]

However, in a general household or the like, when a small net basket is used to store small items or foods in a hanging cabinet or a kitchen stocker, for example, a hand is placed on a high shelf. It is inconvenient to extend and retract the net basket without a handle, but to put the net basket directly into and out of the net basket, and it is inconvenient to hold the basket and spill the contents. It is easy to do things.

Therefore, the present invention is applied to a relatively small net basket, and the handle is detachably attached to the outside of the net basket so that the net basket can be pulled out even from a high shelf in which the net basket is stored. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a handle structure for a net basket that can be put in and taken out and is convenient for handling the net basket.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the handle structure of the net basket according to the present invention is an open net basket made of a plurality of rods made of metal wire. In, between two adjacent side rods on the side of the car, a horizontal locking rod is secured by taking an appropriate height from the bottom of the car, and the tip of the horizontal locking rod is placed outside the side rod. Let it protrude,
The handle is formed by bending a metal wire into a U-shape to form gripping rods on both sides of the base contact rod, inclining the upper and lower end portions of the gripping rod inward when viewed from the side, and the upper end of the gripping rod. A handle is formed by bending a U-shaped locking portion outwardly on the base, and the gripping rod of the handle is inserted into the space below the tip of the horizontal locking rod from the inside of the mesh basket, and the base contact rod is attached. It is characterized in that, in a state of being locked to the horizontal locking rod, the locking portion at the upper end of the gripping rod is detachably locked to the opening frame rod of the mesh basket from the inside.

Here, the net cage to which the present invention is applied is relatively small in size, and a metal wire rod is bent in a U-shape to form a bottom rod and side rods on both sides of the bottom rod. Using multiple bending rods, the bottom rods of these rods are connected vertically and horizontally in a grid pattern to form a car bottom, and the upper ends of the side rods that rise from the bottom rod to both sides are connected to the opening frame rod. The configuration in which the cage side portion is formed is the same as that of a general-purpose net cage.

According to the handle structure of the net basket of the present invention thus constructed, the handle is firmly attached to the outside of the net basket, so that the net basket can be used, for example, in a household in a hanging cabinet or a kitchen stocker. When accommodating small items, foods, etc., the user can reach out on a high shelf and hold the handle to easily put the net basket in and out, making the net basket easy to handle. Also, the gripping rod that constitutes the handle is held firmly in the palm by holding two gripping rods that are parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction at appropriate intervals, and therefore can be firmly gripped in the palm. It will no longer be unstable and will not spill contents.

Further, the engaging portion bent at the upper end of the grasping rod is opened obliquely downward, and the base contact rod of the handle is positioned below the horizontal engaging rod in the mesh basket. When the locking part at the upper end of the rod is brought closer to the opening frame rod of the mesh basket from the outside, the entire length of the handle is set to a length in which the inner depth of the locking part and the position of the opening frame rod are almost right next to each other. Preferably. In this case, the handle is attached to the mesh basket with the base contact rod of the handle being positioned below the horizontal locking rod, and the locking portion at the upper end of the gripping rod is attached to the opening frame rod of the mesh basket. After passing through the bottom and putting it in the net basket, forcibly pulling up the locking part upwards and putting the opening frame rod in the opening of the locking part and releasing your hand, the opening frame rod will go into the inside of the locking part It is stable with the handle attached.

Here, the lower part of the handle, that is, the base contact rod of the handle is locked to the horizontal locking rod by the forced upward pulling of the locking portion, and the gripping rod is extended with elastic deformation. Then, the locking portion is locked to the opening frame rod, and after this locking, the gripping rod is elastically retained with some deformation, and the handle is integrated with the net cage.

Further, when the handle is removed from the net basket, it is carried out in the reverse order described above, but unless the gripping rod is artificially deformed and the locking part is pulled up, the inner part of the locking part is removed. Since the opening frame rod cannot be moved to the opening side to release the lock, the handle will not accidentally come off during use.

Further, when the inner widths of both gripping rods of the handle are made substantially equal to the outer widths of the two adjacent side rods of the mesh basket, the handles are attached to the mesh baskets to be adjacent to each other.
Since the inner side surfaces of the upper and lower end portions of both gripping bars of the handle are in contact with the outer side surface of the side rod of the book, the handle is not laterally displaced and the stability is improved.

[0014]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing a state in which the handle is removed from the net basket, and FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view showing a state in which the handle is attached to the net basket.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a mesh basket opened upward, and 2 denotes a handle detachably attached to the outside of the mesh basket 1.

The mesh basket 1 is a relatively small one, and in the embodiment, a plurality of bent rods are formed by bending a metal wire into a U-shape to form a bottom rod and side rods on both sides of the bottom rod. , The bottom rods of these rods are connected vertically and horizontally in a grid pattern to form a car bottom 3, and the upper ends of the side rods raised on both sides of the bottom rod are connected to the opening frame rod 4. In order to attach the handle 2, the side portions 5 are formed, and the horizontal locking rods 6 are provided inside the side rods 5a between the two adjacent side rods 5a at an appropriate distance from the car bottom 3. It is fixed and this horizontal locking rod 6
The tip 6a of each of the two side rods 5a.

The net car 1 to which the present invention is applied is of a well-known form which is easily used for accommodating various articles, and when the handle 2 is removed, the net car is a higher net car. The lower part of the is inserted into a lower net basket and stacked to reduce the bulk and can be stored.

The handle 2 is made by bending the same metal wire rod as the net basket 1 into a U-shape, and the handle 2 has a base contact rod 7
Gripping rods 8 are formed on both sides of the holding rod 8 and an engaging portion 9 for bending the upper end of the holding rod 8 outwardly in a U-shape to be locked to the opening frame rod 4 of the net basket 1 is bent. Further, the upper and lower end portions of the gripping rod 8 are rounded when viewed from the side, bent inward (net basket side) and inclined, and are attached to the net basket 1 at an intermediate portion of the gripping rod 8. Is floated from the net basket 1 to form a space into which the hand is inserted. Since the locking portion 9 at the upper end of the gripping rod is formed along the inclination of the upper end portion of the gripping rod 8, the opening 9a of the locking portion 9 naturally faces obliquely downward.

Further, the size of the handle 2 is such that both the gripping rods 8 of the handle 2 from the inside of the net basket 1 and the tips 6 of the locking rods are respectively.
With the base contact rod 7 lightly locked to the horizontal locking rod 6 through the space below a, the locking portion 9 at the upper end of the gripping rod is located outside the opening frame rod 4 of the mesh basket 1. The inner length of the handle 2 is set so that the inner rear portion of the locking portion 9 and the position of the opening frame rod 4 are arranged almost right next to each other. It is set so as to substantially match the outer width of two adjacent side rods 5a.

In the above construction, the procedure for attaching the handle 2 to the net basket 1 is shown in FIGS. 3 (a), (b), (c),
This will be described with reference to (d).

FIG. 3 (a) A space below the tip portion 6a of the horizontal locking rod 6 in which both gripping rods 8 of the handle 2 are fixed to the lower portions of the two side rods 5a of the net basket 1 from inside the net basket 1. Pull up through.

FIG. 3 (b) With the base contact rod 7 of the handle 2 lightly engaged with the horizontal engagement rod 6, the engagement portion 9 at the upper end of the gripping rod is brought close to the opening frame rod 4 of the net basket 1.

FIG. 3 (c) Once, the engaging portion 9 at the upper end of the gripping rod
Lower it and pass it under the opening frame rod 4 of the net basket 1 and put it in the net basket 1.

FIG. 3 (d) Inside the opening frame rod 4, when the locking portion 9 is forcibly pulled upward to put the opening frame rod 4 in the opening 9a of the locking portion 9 and then the hand is released, the opening is made. The frame rod 4 enters the inside of the locking portion 9 and becomes stable. Here, since the gripping rod 8 expands with elastic deformation and the deformation of the gripping rod 8 is left even after the locking portion 9 is locked to the opening frame rod 4, it is elastically locked. As a result, the handle 2 and the net basket 1 are integrated. When removing the handle 2 from the net basket 1, the engaging portion 9 is pulled up in the reverse order of the above and the gripping rod 8 is extended to remove the engaging portion 9 from the opening frame rod 4.

[0026]

The present invention is embodied in the form as described above. According to the present invention, since the handle is detachably attached to the outside of the net car by being applied to a relatively small net car, When storing small items, food, etc. in a hanging basket or kitchen stocker at home, using a net basket, you can pull out from the shelf where the net basket is stored and handle the net basket. Make it convenient. Further, the handle is made by bending the same metal wire rod together with the net basket, and the net basket and the net are integrated, which is excellent in appearance.
Also, the handle removed from the net basket is not bulky and is convenient for storage.
