Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle mounting structure for a container such as a pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A handle is attached to a container body for convenience in carrying a container such as a pot. Various examples of the mounting structure are shown in FIGS.

FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 show a container main body 1.
An engagement projection 3 is provided at two positions symmetrical with respect to the center of the tip of the cylindrical boss 2 protruding from the vertical position, and a mounting hole 5 into which the boss 2 is inserted into the handle 4.
Is provided. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the mounting hole 5 is formed in two steps with a large-diameter hole 6 on the outer side and a small-diameter hole 7 on the inner side. A whole pair of grooves 8 is provided. By providing the position of the groove 8 at a position shifted from the center line of the handle 4 by a certain angle, the position of the groove 8 and the engaging projection 3 is shifted in the circumferential direction in a normal use state, and the handle 4 is prevented from coming off. .

FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which an engaging groove 9 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of a boss 2 protruding from a container body 1, while the engaging groove 9 of the boss 2 is provided on an inner peripheral surface of a mounting hole 5 of a handle 4. 9 is provided with a pair of engagement projections 10 forcibly fitted at two places around the periphery of the projection 9.

[0005] In addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 8, a slit 11 shown in FIG. 9 is provided at two locations symmetrical with respect to the center of the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 5 of the handle 4.
Is provided. At the time of the forcible fitting, the diameter of the mounting hole 5 is slightly enlarged at the portion of the slit 11, thereby facilitating the fitting operation.

[0006]

FIGS. 5 to 7 show a state in which, when the handle 4 is mounted, a clearance is formed between the inner diameter surface of the large diameter hole 6 of the mounting hole 5 and the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the boss 2. However, there is a disadvantage that a cap for covering the cover is required as a separate component.

FIG. 8 shows a disadvantage that the engaging projection 10 has a small circumferential length in order to facilitate the fitting operation. is there.

FIG. 9 shows a problem in appearance since the end face of the slit 11 appears on the outer surface of the handle 4.

[0009] Therefore, in the present invention, the fitting operation is easy,
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a handle mounting structure that solves problems in mounting strength and external fitting.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an engaging groove on an outer peripheral surface of a boss protruding from a container body, and a handle mounting hole forcibly fitted to the boss. In the handle mounting structure for a container, provided with an engagement protrusion corresponding to the engagement groove on an inner peripheral surface of the handle, a length not exceeding the engagement protrusion from the inner end of the attachment hole of the handle and reaching the outer surface of the handle. Are provided.

[0011]

[Function] When the mounting hole of the handle is fitted into the boss of the container body and the external force is applied to the handle, the mounting hole is enlarged at the slit and the engaging projection of the handle engages with the engaging groove of the boss. I do.
The diameter of the mounting hole returns to the original diameter due to the elasticity of the handle material.
Since the slit has a diameter-enlarging effect, even if the engagement protrusion is formed long in the circumferential direction to increase the engagement force with the engagement groove, the engagement operation is not hindered. Also, the slit does not appear on the outer surface of the handle.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The basic structure of the handle mounting structure of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is the same as in the prior art, in which bosses 2 are protrudingly provided on both sides of the outer surface of a container body 1 of a pot. An inverted U-shaped handle 4 is rotatably attached to the boss 2.

The boss 2 has an engagement groove 9 formed in the middle of its outer peripheral surface. At the end of the handle 4, a mounting hole 5 is provided. The mounting hole 5 is formed with an inner diameter to which the head of the boss 2 is lightly fitted, and an engaging projection 12 which engages with the engaging groove 9 of the boss 2 is formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof in the circumferential direction. .
As shown in FIG. 3, the outer side of the handle 4 rises at a right angle, and the inner side of the engagement protrusion 12 is inclined.

A slit 13 is formed at one portion of the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 5 so as to extend from the inner surface of the handle 4 beyond the engaging projection 12 to reach the outer surface. The length and depth of the slit 13 are appropriately determined in consideration of the ease of the fitting operation and the mounting strength. The engaging projection 12
Are provided over substantially the entire circumference, and only the portion of the slit 13 is omitted. The slits 13 may be provided at two places as shown in FIG.

The handle mounting structure of the embodiment is the structure as described above. When the boss 2 of the container body 1 and the mounting hole 5 of the handle 4 are forcibly fitted, the head of the boss 2 is
Ride on the slope on the inner side of the. At this time, due to the presence of the slit 13, it is elastically deformed, and the diameter of the mounting hole 5 including the portion of the engagement protrusion 12 is expanded. The head of the boss 2 has the engagement protrusion 12
, The mounting hole 5 returns to its original state due to elasticity, and the engagement protrusion 12 is engaged with the engagement groove 9. The head of the boss 2 is exposed at the end of the outer surface of the mounting hole 5 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

Note that the handle mounting hole 5 does not necessarily have to penetrate to the outer surface, and the outer surface may be closed so that the head of the boss 2 is not exposed. Further, a hemispherical engaging projection 14 (see a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3A) provided on the container body 1 side may be removably fitted using the slit 13 of the handle 4. Thus, the stop position of the handle 4 becomes clear.

[0017]

[Effect of the Invention] Since the handle mounting structure of the present invention is as described above, the fitting work is facilitated by the presence of the slit, and the engaging projection can be formed longer in the circumferential direction, so that the mounting strength of the handle is reduced. growing. In addition, the slit is not visible from the outside, it is also excellent on the outer appearance.
