Description

  The present invention relates to a detachable grip used for a container such as a pail having an arched handle made of a wire.

  Conventionally, as a container called a pail can, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a bottomed cylindrical container body and a wire having both ends rotatably attached to the upper edge of the container body What consists of an arch-shaped handle (also called a vine or a hand) is known. Moreover, what provided grips, such as resin and wooden, on the top part of a handle is also known (refer patent document 2).

  However, the former is disadvantageous in that the handle tends to bite the operator by biting into the operator's hand when the container body is transported with the liquid filled. On the other hand, the latter is disadvantageous in that the cost increases due to an increase in the number of parts and that the handle and the grip need to be separated during disassembly.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to use the carrying handle described in Patent Document 3 or the auxiliary handle described in Patent Document 4 for the former. In this case, there is no pain to the operator even when the container body is transported with the liquid filled therein. Moreover, since no carrying handle or auxiliary handle is required for each container, the number of parts of the container is not increased or the cost is not increased, and the container can be easily disassembled. There is an advantage that you can.

  However, when the carrying handle or auxiliary handle as described above is used, not only the handle swings with respect to the container body, but also the carrying handle or auxiliary handle attached to the handle is moved against the handle. Since it oscillates, the container body becomes very unstable at the time of transportation, and there is a problem that it is difficult to transport the liquid without spilling it. In addition, when the operator removes the hand from the carrying handle or auxiliary handle during or after the transfer, the carrying handle or auxiliary handle may come off the handle and fall into the liquid in the container body, etc. There is also the problem of being lost.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and the problem is that in a detachable grip that is used by being attached to a handle of a container, swinging or turning is restricted in a state of being attached to the handle, and By adopting a structure that does not easily dislodge, it is possible to transport the liquid without causing any pain to the operator even when transporting the container filled with liquid, and without spilling the liquid. It does not provide a detachable grip that can prevent the grip from coming off the handle and falling into the liquid in the container or being lost even when the operator releases the grip during or after transport. It is what.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is a detachable grip used for a container having an arch-shaped handle made of a wire, and has a U-shaped longitudinal section when viewed from the front and horizontally. Formed with a gripping part into which the horizontal top of the handle can be fitted, and a semi-funnel shape projecting downward from both ends of the gripping part, with the curved part near the top of the handle sandwiched between them And a pair of descending portions that are formed in at least two different positions in the longitudinal direction of the grip portion, and a top portion of a handle fitted in the grip portion and an engaging portion that engages in a retaining state. To do.

  In this configuration, when the detachable grip is attached to the handle of the container, the top of the handle is fitted into the grip of the detachable grip, and the engaging portions formed at two or more locations of the grip are respectively the top of the handle and While being engaged in the retaining state, the pair of descending portions at both ends of the grip portion of the detachable grip each prevent the rotation by sandwiching the curved portion near the top of the handle. For this reason, even when transporting the container filled with liquid, if the operator grips and transports the grip portion of the detachable grip with his / her hand, the container can be transported without feeling pain. Further, the liquid in the container can be transported without being zeroed without swinging or rotating while the detachable grip is attached to the handle. In addition, even when the operator removes his / her hand from the grip during or after transport, the grip will not come off from the handle, and the grip will not fall into the liquid in the container or be lost.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the detachable grip according to the first aspect, a preferred form of the engaging portion is provided. That is, the engaging portion is formed with an engaging groove that opens upward with respect to the partition wall that partitions the inside of the grip portion in the longitudinal direction, and the engaging groove of the engaging portion has a groove width on the opening side. Has a narrowed portion smaller than other portions, and the groove width at this narrowed portion is set to be smaller than the diameter of the wire constituting the handle. It is set as the structure in which a pair of inclination edge which inclines downward as it approaches a part is formed.

  In this configuration, the engaging portion of the detachable grip is formed of an engaging groove formed in a partition wall that partitions the inside of the grip portion, and this engaging groove is narrowed on the open side above the groove width smaller than other portions. Since the groove width at this throttle part is set to be smaller than the diameter of the wire constituting the handle, the detachable grip attached by fitting the handle into the engagement groove is naturally separated from the handle. Although it does not come off, it can be easily removed even when the operator removes the detachable grip from the handle even when the force is not so great. In addition, since a pair of inclined edges are formed on the upper edge of the partition wall so as to incline downward as approaching the throttle part of the engaging groove, the handle is fitted into the engaging groove which is the engaging part of the detachable grip. Thus, when the grip is mounted, the pair of inclined edges exhibit a guide function so that the grip can be mounted smoothly by fitting the handle into the engaging groove.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the detachable grip according to the first or second aspect, a reinforcing partition wall is formed at a position different from the engagement portion inside the grip portion, and the partition wall includes an inner portion of the grip portion. The groove is formed so as to avoid interference with the top of the handle fitted in the. In this configuration, the strength of the grip portion can be increased by the reinforcing partition wall formed inside the grip portion. Moreover, since the groove formed in the reinforcing partition wall prevents interference with the top of the handle fitted in the grip portion, the reinforcing partition wall adversely affects the engagement with the handle at the engaging portion. There is nothing.

  As described above, according to the detachable grip of the present invention, an operator attaches the detachable grip to the handle of the container and grips the grip portion with his / her hand even when the container is transported in a state where the container is filled with liquid. Can be easily transported without feeling pain, and the removable grip does not swing or rotate while attached to the handle. Can be transported. In addition, even when the operator removes the hand from the grip during or after transport, the grip does not come off from the handle, so the grip does not fall into the liquid in the container or is lost. It has an excellent effect.

  In particular, in the invention according to claim 2, the detachable grip attached to the handle of the container does not naturally come off from the handle, but when the operator removes the detachable grip from the handle, it is easy even if the force is not so great. Can be removed. In addition, since a pair of inclined edges are formed on the upper edge of the partition wall so as to incline downward as approaching the throttle part of the engaging groove, the handle is fitted into the engaging groove which is the engaging part of the detachable grip. When the grip is mounted, the pair of inclined edges exhibit a guide function, and the grip can be mounted smoothly by fitting the handle into the engagement groove.

  In the invention according to claim 3, the strength of the grip portion can be increased by the reinforcing partition wall formed inside the grip portion, and the groove is formed in the grip partition portion by the groove formed in the reinforcing partition wall. Since the interference with the top of the handle is avoided, the reinforcing partition wall does not adversely affect the engagement with the handle at the engaging portion, which is effective for implementation.
