Description

  The present invention relates to a container with a handle for storing an object such as liquid or powder and a washer used therefor.

  As a container with a handle of this type, a washer is provided on each diagonal line of a rectangular top plate having an entrance and exit at a central portion with the entrance and exit interposed therebetween, and a handle called a wire handle ring is provided on the tube portion of the washer. A structure is known in which both ends are inserted and the handle can be freely rotated 180 degrees between both washers (Patent Document 1). In this case, since the handle is generally provided in the center of the top plate, when the doorway is arranged in the center, it is intended to solve the problems that are difficult to attach to the handle and the number of handles. In other words, even if a large doorway is formed in the central portion of the top plate, the carrying work can be efficiently performed, and it does not become inefficient even in the manufacturing process. The object is to eliminate the possibility that the storage efficiency is deteriorated due to a gap.

  Moreover, in order to pour out the contents of the can in a state where the can is packaged in an outer box, a packaging can having a handle that falls only on the side far from the spout of the can has been proposed (Patent Document 2). In this case, it is disclosed that the shape of the handle insertion opening of the washer to which the handle is attached is notched so as to form a semicircular arc surface on the side where the handle falls, so that the handle does not fall to the side close to the doorway. . As a result of the notch not being able to tilt the handle in only one direction, the notch on the upper surface of the outer box can be made smaller.

  Further, as filed by the applicant of the present application, a handle can be provided in a state where a wide-mouth entrance is formed in the center of the top plate of the handle-equipped container, and the handle is in an upright state with respect to the top plate. What is stably hold | maintained in two states of a prone (horizontal) state is known (patent document 3). More specifically, in order to attach the handle, a pair of washers is fixed to the top plate by sandwiching the wide opening by welding, and the handle is inserted between the handle insertion holes of the opposed handle insertion holes of the opposing pair of washers. The end portions are respectively inserted from the inside toward the outside. In addition, the handle insertion port has a pair of cutout portions and a protruding portion formed between the cutout portions. When the handle is in the prone (horizontal) state, a rising base part which is a part of the handle is engaged with the notch and the stable state is maintained, and the handle is resisted against elasticity of the handle from the prone (horizontal) state. When the standing state is overcome by overcoming the step from the notch to the protruding portion, the rising base of the handle is pressed against the protruding portion by the elastic force of the handle so that the rising state of the handle is maintained. It is something that works.

  In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, if the handle provided on the top plate is not gripped, it is in a prone (horizontal) state that always falls to the left and right in a stationary state. The troublesome work of putting the hand between the plates and raising and holding it is necessary. Therefore, when a plurality of containers are moved continuously, or when an operation is performed using an object stored in the container while frequently moving the same container, the work efficiency is very poor.

  In addition, in Patent Document 2, as a result of the notch of the handle insertion opening of the washer for inserting the handle of the container, as a result of the handle falling only in one direction, the notch portion on the upper surface of the outer box can be reduced, As in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the prone (horizontal) state where the handle falls to one side becomes a stationary state, so that not only has the same problem as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, but also the handle and the top plate are not transported. There is a problem that noise is generated by repeated contact and separation. In addition, there is a risk that fingers will be injured by the cutout. Further, the notch is deformed while the container is used repeatedly, and the risk of the above-mentioned injury increases.

  In addition, in the above Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the handle has a structure in which the handle is inserted from the outside to the inside direction with respect to the handle insertion opening of each washer, both ends of the handle are spread and inserted. There is also a problem of dropping off the washer.

  Further, in Patent Document 3, a rising base portion which is a part of a handle is engaged with the cutout portion to maintain a stable state, and from the cutout portion against the elasticity of the handle from a prone (horizontal) state. When standing up over the step up to the projecting part, the rising base of the handle is pressed against the projecting part by the elastic force of the handle, and the standing state of the handle is maintained. Then, the rising base of the handle is pressed against the protrusion by the elastic force of the handle and is held in the standing state, but in the prone (horizontal) state, it is only engaged with the notch, Noise may be generated in the same manner as in Patent Documents 1 and 2.

  In addition, there is a risk that a finger is touched and injured by a step formed between the notch and the protrusion. Each time the level difference between the standing state and the prone (horizontal) state is repeated, the step is polished by contact with the rising base of the handle to become a cutting edge shape or deformed to form a protrusion shape and easily cause the above-mentioned injury. There is a risk of doing.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and is not a prone (horizontal) state, for example, can be stabilized in a standing state, and can improve the efficiency of transportation work, A container with a handle capable of avoiding the possibility of injury and a washer used therefor.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following container with a handle. That is, the top plate closing the upper opening of the bottomed cylindrical body, the washer welded to the top surface of the top plate, and the insertion portions at both ends are inserted into the handle insertion holes formed in the washer. A handle-equipped container having a handle, wherein the handle insertion opening of the handle insertion hole of the washer is an arc surface recessed in the insertion direction of the handle insertion portion, and the handle is washed by the elasticity of the handle. It is characterized in that it is pivotally pivoted while being in sliding contact with the circular arc surface (see claim 1).

  A pair of the washers may be provided on the top plate at a predetermined interval, and each of the pair of insertion portions at both ends of the handle may be inserted into the handle insertion holes of each of the pair of washers. A pair of insert portions at both ends of the handle may be provided while providing a single washer on the top plate and elastically deforming the pair of handle insert holes of the washer against the elasticity between the pair of handles. You may comprise so that it may insert.

  Further, in the former case, a handle insertion hole of the washer is provided at a position where a pair of washers face each other, and the pair of insertion portions of the handle are elastically deformed against the elasticity of the pair of insertion portions. The top plate may be inserted from the inside to the outside, or a handle insertion hole may be provided at a position opposite to the position where the pair of washers are opposed to each other, and the pair of insert portions of the handle are connected to the pair of the top plate. The top plate may be inserted from the outside to the inside while being elastically deformed against the elasticity of the insertion portions. As described above, when the insert is inserted from the inside toward the outside, the handle is difficult to drop off from the top plate.

  And since the handle insertion port of the handle insertion hole of the washer is an arc surface recessed in the insertion direction of the insertion unit into the handle insertion hole, the handle insertion port into which the pair of insertion parts of the handle are respectively inserted. The distance between them differs depending on the rotation angle that rotates while sliding on the arc surface of the handle, but both handles are inserted while elastically deforming against the elasticity of the pair of insertion portions. As a result of being inserted into the hole, the handle maintains the sliding contact state with respect to the arc surface of the washer due to the elastic force between both insertion portions of the handle. Accordingly, a frictional force corresponding to the elastic force of the handle is generated at the contact portion between the handle and the arcuate surface, and therefore the handle is at all angles from the left and right prone (horizontal) state to the standing state. It comes to rest. That is, the elastic force is stationary at all angles of 0 to 180 degrees between the handle and the top plate due to a frictional force generated between the handle and the arc surface according to the elastic force. It is preferable to set it as possible. In order to efficiently obtain this elastic force, it is preferable that the handle is configured to have an arch shape with the insertion portions at both ends thereof being inserted into the handle insertion holes of the washer.

  As long as the handle can be made of a material that can maintain a resilient force between both insertion portions, a metal, a synthetic resin, or the like can be appropriately used.

  Since the handle is stationary at all angles from the prone (horizontal) state to the standing state, even when it is necessary to frequently move the place where the paint is applied in a state where the paint is stored in the container, for example, If the handle is kept stationary in a standing state, it will fall into the prone (horizontal) state when the hand is released, and each time it moves, the handle in the prone (horizontal) state will be raised and held, etc. The troublesome work can be reduced.

  In addition, a frictional force corresponding to the elastic force of the handle is generated between the handle and the washer while the container is being transported. It is possible to reduce the occurrence of noise due to the change. Such a noise problem can be expected to have a more remarkable effect when the container is used as a container that is transported in a hospital like medical waste.

  The washer is provided with a pair of washers at a predetermined interval on the top plate, and each of the pair of insertion portions of the handle is inserted into a handle insertion hole of each of the pair of washers. Thus, the handle insertion hole of the washer is formed in a penetrating shape, and a handle insertion opening having the arc surface is formed at both ends of the handle insertion hole (refer to claim 2). According to this, when welding a washer, for example with respect to a top plate, the possibility that the attachment direction will be mistaken can be avoided.

  Next, in order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a washer for use in a container with a handle as described below. That is, the top plate closing the upper opening of the bottomed cylindrical body, the washer welded to the top surface of the top plate, and the insertion portions at both ends are inserted into the handle insertion holes formed in the washer. A washer used for a container with a handle having a handle, wherein the handle insertion hole of the handle insertion hole of the washer is an arc surface recessed in the insertion direction of the insertion portion of the handle (claim) Item 3).

It is preferable that the handle insertion hole of the washer is formed in a penetrating manner with respect to the washer and that both of the handle insertion holes formed at both ends of the handle insertion hole are arcuate surfaces (see claim 4).
In addition, the circular arc surface mentioned above is a shape dented in the insertion direction of the said handle insertion part, when planarly viewed.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the top plate closing the upper opening of the bottomed cylindrical body, the washer welded to the top surface of the top plate, and both end portions with respect to the handle insertion hole formed in the washer A handle with a handle into which the insertion portion of the washer is inserted, wherein the handle insertion port of the handle insertion hole of the washer is an arc surface recessed in the insertion direction of the handle insertion portion, and the handle Since the elastic force of the handle is pivotably pivoted while sliding on the arc surface of the washer, the handle is left and right by the frictional force generated at the contact portion between the handle insertion portion and the arc surface of the washer. It can become stationary and stable at all angles from the prone (horizontal) state to the standing state.

  According to the invention of claim 2, the washer is provided with a pair at a predetermined interval on the top plate, and each of the pair of insert portions of the handle is inserted into a handle insertion hole of each of the pair of washers. If it is configured to be inserted, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect described above, when the washer is welded to the top plate, for example, it is possible to avoid the possibility of erroneous attachment direction.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the top plate closing the upper opening of the bottomed cylindrical body, the washer welded to the upper surface of the top plate, and both end portions with respect to the handle insertion hole formed in the washer A washer used for a container with a handle having a handle into which the insertion portion of the washer is inserted, wherein the handle insertion hole of the handle insertion hole of the washer has an arc surface recessed in the insertion direction of the insertion portion of the handle. Therefore, if a container with a handle is manufactured using this washer, the effect of the container with a handle according to the first aspect of the invention can be achieved.

  According to the invention of claim 4, the handle insertion hole of the washer is formed in a penetrating manner with respect to the washer, and both the handle insertion ports formed at both ends of the handle insertion hole are arcuate surfaces. When attaching the said washer to a container, the possibility that the attachment direction is mistaken can be avoided.

  A first example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of a container with a handle according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1 in a prone (horizontal) state of the container with a handle according to the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a front view showing the washer on the left side of FIG. 3 in an enlarged state with the handle upright, FIG. 4 is a front view of the handle in FIG. 3 in a prone (horizontal) state, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the washer. .

  The container with a handle includes a body 1 that forms a container body, a top plate 2 that closes an upper opening of the body 1, and a bottom plate 3.

  The body 1 is not limited to this, but has a quadrangular cylindrical shape. Accordingly, the top plate 2 is formed in a quadrangular shape so as to close the upper opening of the quadrangular cylindrical body 1. The top plate 2 is formed with a circular wide entrance 4 from the center toward the outer periphery. On the upper surface 6 of the top plate 2 near the outer periphery between the entrance 4 and the outer peripheral edge 5, the handle insertion hole 11 is formed on the diameter line L passing through the center of the top plate 2, that is, on the diagonal line in this embodiment. The washers 10 and 10 are fixed opposite to each other with the doorway 4 interposed therebetween. As this fixing method, welding such as spot welding may be adopted, and other methods such as adhesion using an adhesive are optional.

  The entrance / exit 4 is an opening for filling and taking out the objects to be accommodated, and the entrance / exit 4 is provided at a substantially central portion of the top plate 2 as in this embodiment. Compared with the case where the contents are provided, it becomes easier to load and remove the objects to be stored, and at the time of transferring the contents, it is possible to promote the shortening of the transfer time.

  A pair of insertion portions 21 and 22 on both ends of the handle 20 are fitted into the handle insertion holes 11A and 11A of the handle insertion holes 11 and 11 of the pair of washers 10 and 10, and the handle 20 is pivotally attached to be rotatable. doing.

  That is, a pair of the washers 10, 10 are provided on the top plate 6 at a predetermined interval, and a pair of inserts of the handle 20 are inserted into the handle insertion holes 11, 11 provided in each of the pair of washers 10, 10. Each of the parts 21 and 22 is configured to be inserted. The handle insertion holes 11 and 11 of the washers 10 and 10 are formed in a penetrating manner, and the handle insertion holes 11A and 11A having the arcuate surfaces are formed at both ends of the handle insertion holes 11 and 11, respectively. When inserting the handle into the handle insertion openings 11A, 1A, the pair of insertion portions 21, 22 at both ends of the arch-shaped handle 20 are arranged in a direction to reduce the distance between the pair of insertion portions 21, 22. The top plate 2 is inserted from the inside to the outside while being elastically deformed against the elasticity of the handle. Therefore, even when the handle 20 is gripped and the container is transported, the possibility that the handle 20 falls off from the washer due to the space between the insertion portions 21 and 22 can be reduced.

  The handle insertion holes 11A and 11A of the handle insertion holes 11 and 11 of the washers 10 and 10 are arcuate surfaces that are recessed in the insertion direction of the insertion portions 21 and 22 into the handle insertion holes 11 and 11, and thus the handle 20 Although the distance between the handle insertion ports 11A and 11A into which the pair of insertion portions 21 and 22 are respectively inserted varies depending on the rotation angle between the handle 20 and the arcuate surface, the pair of insertion portions 21 and 22 As a result of being inserted into both handle insertion holes 11 and 11 while being elastically deformed against the elasticity between them, the rising base portions 23 and 24 of the handle 20 are washer 10 and 10 due to the elastic force between the insertion portions 21 and 22. Thus, the sliding contact state of the handle insertion openings 11A, 11A with the arc surface is maintained in the entire rotation region.

  Accordingly, since a frictional force corresponding to the elastic force of the handle 20 is generated at the contact portion between the rising bases 23 and 24 of the handle 20 and the arcuate surface, the handle 20 is in a left and right prone (horizontal) state (see FIG. 4) to stand up by the frictional force at all angles from the standing state (see FIG. 3). In other words, the strength of the elastic force is such that the angle formed between the handle 20 and the top plate 2 is 0 to 180 degrees due to the frictional force generated between the handle 20 and the arc surface according to the elastic force. The material and shape of the arch-shaped handle 20 are set in advance so that they can be set to be stationary at all angles. The difference between the symbols H and h shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is the moving stroke of the insertion portions 21 and 22 from the prone state to the horizontal state. The larger the moving stroke, the different the frictional force of the handle 20 made of the same elastic material or shape. As long as the handle 20 is a material that can maintain elasticity between the insertion portions 21 and 22, a metal, a synthetic resin, or the like can be appropriately used. In the present invention, the handle 20 is composed of a metal wire. doing.

  Further, the handle insertion holes 11 and 11 of the washers 10 and 10 are formed in a penetrating manner and have a tunnel roof 12 that covers the handle insertion holes 11 and 11. Blade portions 13 and 14 fixed to the top plate 2 by welding are provided. In this way, the handle insertion holes 11 and 11 are formed in a penetrating manner, and the handle insertion holes 11A and 11A having arcuate surfaces at both ends thereof are used, so that it is possible to prevent the mounting direction of the washer 10 from being wrong and causing inconvenience. It can be done.

  Further, bent portions 25 and 25 are formed at both end portions of the handle 20 so that the handle 20 does not come out of the washer 10, and the bending margin of the bent portions 25 and 25 is physically the washer 10. It is preferable to make the diameter larger than the diameter of the handle insertion hole 11 so that the handle 20 cannot be removed from the handle.

  FIG. 6 shows a modification of the present invention. In the embodiment described above, the two washers 10 are provided on the top surface of the top plate 2, but this is a single washer 10. The inserts 21 and 22 at both ends of the handle 20 are fitted into the handle insertion ports 11A and 11A having arcuate surfaces formed at both ends of the handle insertion hole 11 of the single washer 10. In this inserted state, the handle 20 has a wider distance between the distal ends of the insertion portions 21 and 22 than in the case where the handle is inserted into the washer 10 and not inserted. Therefore, the rising base portions 23 and 24, which are a part of the handle 20, are held in an elastic contact with the handle insertion ports 11A and 11A by the elastic force of the handle 20. Become. When the handle 20 is rotated relative to the washer 10 by this elastic force, a frictional force is generated between the handle 20 and the washer 10, and the handle 20 is at all angles from the prone state to the standing state. It will be held stably.

  In this case, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, so-called internal fitting, in which the insertion portions 21 and 22 of the handle 20 are inserted from the handle insertion ports 11 </ b> A and 11 </ b> A from the inside to the outside. On the other hand, in the modification shown in FIG. 6, the two are different in that the insertion portions 21 and 22 of the handle 20 are inserted from the handle insertion ports 11A and 11A from the outside toward the inside. . In the latter case, the elastic force of the handle becomes weak, and the handle may come off from the washer.

  The present invention is useful for storing food items such as food oil and soy sauce, chemicals such as chemicals, or objects to be stored such as fuel or paint. In particular, when working while frequently carrying the contents, the handle can be held in an upright state, so that work efficiency is improved. In addition, it is useful in terms of noise during transportation.
