[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle member used for lifting a finger with a large and heavy object such as a television set.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 12 is an external perspective view of a stationary television as viewed from the rear side. In this television 50, handgrip members 51 that are used to hang up and lift a finger when moving a place in the room are provided on both left and right sides of the housing 52. As for this kind of handle member, many improved products have been put into practical use. One of them is provided with a container-shaped main body whose inside is hollow and whose front surface is opened, and a lid for closing the front opening is biased to a state in which the lid is pushed from the inside of the main body to the outside and closed. There is a hand-held member that is urged by the force of, and pushes the lid inward from the outside to insert a finger into the main body to hang it.
In this handholding member, the main body and the lid are formed separately, and the lid is fixed to the main body later with screws or the like, so that the main body and the lid are separated. Since two molds are required and the lid is attached to the main body with screws or the like, the number of assembling steps is increased and the manufacturing cost is increased.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the applicant of the present invention has previously proposed a handle member in which the main body and the lid can be integrally molded with a resin material. 13 and 14 are disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-70383 as a handle member, and FIG. 13 shows a molded state.
4A is an assembled state, and FIG. 14B is a sectional view showing a state of use. The handle member 60 includes a body portion 6
1 corresponds to each container-shaped wall having a front opening, and an upper wall 61a
And the left and right side walls 61b, 61c and the rear wall 61d are integrally connected, and the rear wall 61d and the lower wall 61e are formed.
And between the lower wall 61e and the lid 62 via thin-walled hinge portions 63a and 63b, respectively.
e and the lid 62 are extended and integrally molded with the resin material on the main body 61 side. Then, the lower wall 61e and the lid 62 are respectively bent at the hinge portions 63a and 63b and disposed on the corresponding surfaces, and the pivots 64 provided on both sides of the lid 62 are fitted into the holes 65 of the main body portion 61. By Axis 6
4 is assembled with the fulcrum 4 as a fulcrum, and the lid 62 is bent through the hinge portion 63b to provide a locking claw 6 provided at the tip.
By engaging 6 with the corresponding hole 65 of the upper wall 61a, the structure is such that the front opening of the body 61 is assembled.

[0004]

In the improved handholding member 60, the lid 62 and the lower wall 61e are provided in the main body 61.
Since it is formed integrally with the above, only one molding die is required, and the work of connecting the lid 62 and the main body 61 by screwing or the like, which is required in the conventional structure, becomes unnecessary. Further, in this structure, the lower wall 61e and the lid 62 are arranged on the corresponding surfaces while being elastically bent through the hinge portions 63a and 63b, and the bending force generated by this elastic bending is ,
The lid 62 can be used as the urging force that urges the lid 62 from the inside to the outside. However, the main body 61
The lower wall 61e and the lid 62 are hinge portions 63a and 63b.
Since it can be bent to the corresponding surface with, the rigidity of the main body is liable to be lost and careless impact force compared to the case where both side parts, the upper and lower walls and the rear wall are integrally formed beforehand in a container shape at the time of molding. On the other hand, there is a possibility that the shape stability cannot be maintained. Further, although the bending force of the thin hinge portion 63b can be used as the urging means of the lid 62, there is a concern that the urging force may be easily lost when, for example, the handle member or the lid is large.

The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and it is an object of the present invention that the main body and the lid are integrally molded with a resin material, and the rigidity of the main body can be maintained structurally high. Moreover, it is structurally possible to attach an elastic piece having a strong urging force, and it is possible to further reduce the manufacturing cost and provide it at a low cost. Other purposes will be clarified in the following description.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a container-like main body having a hollow interior and a front opening, and a lid for closing the front opening is provided from the inside of the main body. In a hand-held member that is urged so as to be pushed outward and is closed, and the lid is pushed inward from the outside and a finger is inserted into the main body to hang it, the main body is below the side walls. While having a large-diameter hole and a small-diameter hole located below the large-diameter hole and communicating with the large-diameter hole,
The lid is integrally molded with the main body portion with a resin material, and is protruded outward from the inside of the main body portion while maintaining a gap between both side walls and the lower wall of the main body portion. The pivots provided on both sides are projected into the corresponding large-diameter holes, and are joined to the main body side via a thin connecting portion, the thin connecting portion is crushed, and the pivot is attached to the main body portion. When the lid is moved from the large-diameter hole to the small-diameter hole and is fitted therein, the lid is assembled to the main body with the pivot as a pivot fulcrum.

According to the above construction, in the molded state,
The lid is projected outward from the front from the inside with a gap between both side walls and the lower wall forming the container-shaped main body, and the pivot axis of the lid is projected into the large-diameter hole on the main body side to regulate the position. There is. Therefore, when assembling the lid to the main body in a use state, for example, when the lid is bent toward the front side of the opening of the main body and rotated, the thin connecting portion joining the lid and the main body receives stress. And crush it, and move it so that the pivot drops from the large diameter hole to the small diameter hole and fit. As a result, the lid is attached to the main body with the pivot serving as a pivot fulcrum.

(Arrangement Structure of Main Body and Lid) On the side walls 2c and 2d of the main body 2, there are vertically fitted fitting portions 10 on the lower side close to the frame 3a. It is provided. The fitting portion 10 corresponds to the pivot 9 provided on the lid 4, and has a large diameter hole 10a located on the upper side and a small diameter hole located below the large diameter hole 10a and communicating with the large diameter hole 10a. It has a hole 10b. The large diameter hole 10a is larger than the diameter of the pivot 9, and the small diameter hole 10b is set to be almost equal to or slightly larger than the pivot 9. The boundary between the large-diameter hole 10a and the small-diameter hole 10b has the smallest diameter locking hole 1
It is set to 0c, and the pivot 9 is loosely fitted in the large diameter hole 7a, is pushed into the locking hole portion 10c from the large diameter hole 7a, moves to the small diameter hole 10b, and then is freely rotatable in the small diameter hole 10b. It is set so that it will fit and will not come out accidentally.

On the other hand, the lid 4 has a size corresponding to the front opening 3, and is formed by the side walls 2c and 2d of the body 2 and the lower surface 2b. 8 is arranged so as to project obliquely downward and outward from the front opening 3 with a gap maintained therebetween. Further, ribs 11 are integrally formed on both sides of the inner surface in the front-rear direction. This rib 11 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 4, the rear side of the lid 4 is set one step higher, and the above-mentioned pivots 9 are integrally projected on the outer surface of the raised portion 11a. The pivot 9 is provided on a pedestal 9a provided on the outer surface of the portion 11a as shown in FIG. The pedestal 9a can be molded with the side walls 2c and 2d of the main body 2 with a gap corresponding to that of the pedestal 9a when integrally molded with a resin material. Further, in the process of molding the pivot 9 into the large diameter hole 10a, the rear end of the lid 5 can be joined to the corresponding portion of the main body 2 through the thin connecting portion 12 as shown in FIG. There is. Therefore, the main body portion 2 and the lid 4 are molded as one part by joining with the thin connecting portion 12 formed between the rear end of the lid 5 and the corresponding portion of the main body portion 2 interposed therebetween. . It should be noted that such a thin-walled connecting portion 12 has a lid 4
It suffices that it can be crushed under the stress when it is bent in the direction to close the front opening 3 of the main body 2. As the setting portion, other than the above example, for example, it may be set between the upper surface of the pedestal 9a and the hole edge of the large diameter hole 10a as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. Reference numeral 12a in the figure indicates a thin-walled connecting portion thus formed. Also in this case, the main body 2 and the lid 4

A finger can be hung on the inside of a, and in this state, it can be lifted together with the article.

On the other hand, when the moving work is completed, the inserted finger is pulled out from the main body 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 1B, the lid 4 is pushed from the inner side to the outer side by the reaction force of the elastic piece 8 until the engagement claw 7b comes into contact with the front inner surface of the locking hole 7a and is regulated, The front opening 3 is returned to the closed state.

[0017]

As described above, in the handle member of the present invention, since the lid is integrally formed with the main body and the resin material, only one mold is required, and the lid and the main body which are required in the conventional structure. There is no need to combine the parts. In addition to this, it has the following effects. , In the molded state, the lid is projected outward from the front with a gap between the lower wall and both side walls forming the container-shaped main body, and the pivot of the lid is inserted into the large-diameter hole on the main body side. The position is projected and regulated. Therefore, when the lid is assembled to the main body in a use state, for example, when the lid is rotated so as to be bent toward the front opening side of the main body, the thin-walled connecting portion that joins the lid and the main body is bent. Since it is crushed by receiving the stress due to, the pivot moves from the large diameter hole to the small diameter hole and is fitted, it can be operated with one touch. In the state of being molded as described above, since the main body and the lid are almost product-shaped, they are easy to handle. Since the main body is molded in the shape of a container with a front opening, it is easy to surely give rigidity to the structure in which the container-shaped parts are assembled through the hinges and the like, and the container-shaped lower wall It is also possible to provide an elastic piece having a strong urging force as in claim 3.
