As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment, by attaching the handle cover 3 to the container body 2, the handle hole 12 is closed, while the handle rib 13 and the handle hole 12 are formed. The vertical width of the space in which the fingertip of the worker can be inserted is shortened. Therefore, when the operator hangs the fingertip on the handle portion 26 in order to carry the container 1 to which the handle cover 3 is attached, not only the fingertip is directly inserted inside the body portion 24, but also the fingertip is inserted into the body portion 24. It is conceivable that there will be an increase in the number of cases where the portion is inserted inside the body portion 24 by touching the portion located below the portion 24 and then sliding the portion in contact with the portion.

In this regard, by providing the notch-shaped portion 31 in the lower piece portion 24b of the body portion 24 of the handle cover 3, when the fingertip is hung on the handle portion 26 formed on the lower surface side of the upper piece portion 24a, It is possible to prevent the fingertip from coming into contact with the lower piece portion 24b.

Further, even if the handle portion 26 does not protrude relatively large to the outside of the container main body 2, the notch-shaped portion 31 is provided in the lower piece portion 24b, so that the lower piece portion 24b includes the central portion in the lateral width direction. The range can be shortened to the inward side of the container body 2 relative to the handle portion 26. Therefore, for example, due to the fact that the handle portion 26 projects relatively large toward the outside of the container body 2, the outer edge portion of the handle portion 26 easily comes into contact with another object, or when the container 1 is stored. It is possible to prevent a decrease in space efficiency.

Further, of the lower piece portion 24b, the outer edge of the container main body 2 at the portion corresponding to the notch-shaped portion 31 is inclined downward toward the outer side of the container main body 2. Therefore, when the fingertip is inserted into the inside of the body portion 24 in order to hang the fingertip on the handle portion 26, the fingertip comes into contact with the outer edge portion of the lower piece portion 24b corresponding to the notch-shaped portion 31. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the fingertip is caught on the outer edge of the fingertip even when the fingertip is in contact with the fingertip. As a result, the action and effect of facilitating the operation of hooking the fingertip on the handle portion 26 are further achieved.

Has been done. Therefore, it is possible to stabilize the attached state of the handle cover 3. Further, by providing the handle protrusion 32, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the fingertip hung on (the lower surface of) the handle portion 26 slips to the outer side of the container body 2. Therefore, the ease of holding the container 1 can be improved.

In addition, among the mounting parts 22, the extension piece 43 that is inserted inside the body portion 24 and is in contact with or is in contact with the lower surface of the upper piece portion 24a of the body portion 24 so as to be close to the extension piece 43. Of the outer edge portion of 43, the contact avoidance shape portion formed so that the range corresponding to the central portion in the width direction of the handle portion 26 is located on the inner side of the container body 2 with respect to the portions located on both sides thereof. 44 is provided. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lower surface side of the handle portion 26 from being covered by the extension piece 43. That is, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the vertical width of the range corresponding to the handle portion 26 is narrowed in the area of the handle cover 3 where the operator can insert the fingertip. Therefore, the action and effect of facilitating the operation of hooking the fingertip on the handle portion 26 can be more reliably achieved. In particular, in the configuration in which the handle protrusion 32 is provided, such an action effect is more prominently exhibited.

The protrusion 46 and the second locking hole 35 can be locked. Therefore, the handle cover 3 can be attached to a plurality of types of containers 1 having different thicknesses of the side wall portions 7 on the short side.

Further, the tip edge side of the upper folded portion 27 and the lower folded portion 29 is an inclined portion 27b that is inclined toward the inner side of the container body 2 and the side away from the body portion 24. Therefore, when the handle cover 3 is attached to the container body 2, the handle rib 13 (upper edge rib 13a) of the container body 2 is placed between the upper folded portion 27, the lower folded portion 29, and the body portion 24. , And the lower edge rib 13b) can be easily inserted, and the mounting workability can be improved.

A notch 28 is provided at the center of the upper folded portion 27 in the width direction, and the reinforcing rib 14 connects between the center of the upper edge rib 13a in the width direction and the upper flange portion 8. The handle cover 3 can also be attached to the provided container body 2. Further, since the upper folded portion 27 is divided by the cut portion 28, each of the divided upper folded portions 27 is easily deformed as appropriate, and the workability when attaching the handle cover 3 to the container main body 2 is improved.
