DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insulated box to be carried at leisure such as fishing and camping.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the above-mentioned cool box is provided with various types of handles on both sides of the cool box body for convenient carrying.
No. 134 makes it possible to pull out the handle portion of the U-shaped handle into a storage portion formed between the cover body screwed to the side surface of the cool box main body and the side surface of the cool box main body. Is disclosed.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned known storage method of the handle, the storage portion, that is, the cover body projects outward from the surface of the cool box main body, so that the fishing line is caught in actual fishing. In addition, since the storage portion protrudes in this manner, the storage portion becomes bulky and handling becomes inconvenient, and the storage portion is damaged by a collision or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a cool box provided with a handle that is easy to handle and is not easily damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1A is an external perspective view of a cool box, FIG. 1B is a perspective view showing a handle portion, FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views each showing a use mode of the handle portion, and FIGS. FIG. 4 is a front view of the handle portion.

The cool box 1 includes a cool box body 5 filled with a heat insulating material 3 and a lid 7 provided on the cool box body via a hinge or the like so as to be openable and closable, and also filled with the heat insulating material 3. Have. Although the cool box 1 of this embodiment is formed horizontally long, the overall shape is not limited.

At the front of the cool box main body 5 and the lid 7, a stopper means 10 for closing and fixing the opening of the cool box main body 5 with the cover 7 is attached. Also, the lid 7
When the lid 7 is closed by the cool box main body 3, a packing means 15 is provided around the rear surface of the box and the opening edge of the cool box main body 5 so as to seal the both so as not to impair the cool keeping effect. . In addition, there is no limitation on the structure, attachment location, and the like of the stopper means and the packing means.

A recess 5a is formed on the entire side surface of the cool box main body 5 in the height direction, and a storage portion 20 for storing the handle 30 is provided substantially in the center of the recess 5a.

The storage section 20 includes an L-shaped member 21 having a fixed portion 21a in contact with the bottom surface of the concave portion 5a and a receiving portion 21b bent substantially perpendicular to the fixed portion 21a, and a holding portion 21c of the receiving portion 21b. And a cover member 22 disposed so as to be flush with the side surface portion of the cool box main body 5. The fixing portion 21a is fixed to the side surface portion of the cool box main body 5 by a screw 24 or the like, whereby the side surface portion of the cool box main body 5 is flush with the pocket-shaped storage portion 2.
0 is formed. In addition, it is also possible to provide a plug for draining water (not shown) in the concave portion 5a formed below the storage portion 20, and by providing the plug at such a position, the protrusion to the outside can be prevented. Can be eliminated.

A handle 30 having a generally U-shape is provided in the storage portion 20 with its grip portion 30a being viewed from an opening area defined by the storage portion 20. I have. The handle 30 can be pulled out of the opening area toward the outside of the side surface of the cool box main body 5, and a lower end of the handle 30 is provided by a stopper 35 protruding from a predetermined position on the surface of the fixing portion 21a. 30b is engaged,
It is retained from the storage section 20.

According to the above configuration, the handle 30 is housed in the housing portion 20 which is flush with the side surface of the cool box main body 5, so that the catch of the fishing line during actual fishing is prevented and The handle is no longer bulky. Further, the handle 30 can be easily handled by being pulled out from the storage section 20.

In this case, as shown by the solid line and the dotted line in FIG.
It is preferable that the shaft 30d be attached to the shaft c so that the shaft 30d can be bent. With this configuration of the grip portion, the pull-out operation of the handle 30 is facilitated, and the operation of pulling or pushing the cool box 1 in a direction parallel to the mounting surface is also facilitated. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the handle 30 c of the handle 30 is preferably formed in a shape curved toward the outside of the cool box main body 5. If the handle is configured in this manner, as shown by the dotted line, it is possible to smoothly pull out and store the handle 30 from the storage section 20, and to reduce the space of the storage section 20. it can.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be variously modified in addition to the above-described embodiment, for example, as follows. If the concave portion 5a formed on the side surface of the cool box main body 5 is provided only at the position where the storage section 20 is provided, the entire side surface of the cool box main body 5 can be flush. The storage unit 20 may be formed integrally with the cool box main body 5 as long as the handle can be stored so as to be able to be pulled out. The handle 30 and the stopper 35 are
Is stored in the storage section 20 and if it can be prevented from coming off, its shape and configuration can be variously modified. Also,
The storage section 20 may be slightly curved and protrude from the side surface of the cool box main body 5 as long as the fishing line is not hooked and bulky.

[0015]

According to the present invention, since the handle portion provided in the cold box does not protrude from the side surface of the cold box body, damage caught and collision of the fishing line is prevented, further
Then, attach the gripping part to the handle body and move it outside the cool box body.
By being bendable, pull-out operation of the handle,
And the cool box was pulled in the direction parallel to the mounting surface
The operation of pushing and pushing is easy, and an insulated box that is easy to handle can be obtained.
