Description

The present invention relates to, for example, a container capable of containing a liquid, powder, or the like, and particularly belongs to the technical field of a structure having a plurality of handles.

For example, a container having a handle is known as a container for storing a chemical solution or the like. The container disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 is provided with a handle on the upper portion of the container and also on the rear side of the container opposite to the outlet portion of the container. The upper handle is formed so as to extend horizontally. On the other hand, the rear handle is formed so as to extend in the vertical direction. The horizontal length of the upper handle and the vertical length of the rear handle are set to be approximately equal. In the case of Patent Document 1, when the container is tilted to take out the contents from the container, it is possible to hold the upper handle with one hand and the rear handle with the other hand. In the case of Documents 2 and 3, it is also possible to hold only the rear handle.

Further, the container disclosed in Patent Document 4 is provided with a handle long in the vertical direction only on the rear side of the container.

By the way, when taking out the contents contained in the containers of Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is possible to take out the contents by holding the upper handle and the rear handle and using both hands. However, depending on the usage situation, it may be desired to tilt the container with only one hand to take out the contents. In this respect, Patent Documents 2 and 3 make it possible to hold only the rear handle, so that only one hand is required. It is considered that the container can be used by tilting it.

However, since the rear handles of Patent Documents 2 and 3 have short vertical dimensions, it is practically impossible to change the position of the hand with respect to the rear handle. This also applies to the container of Patent Document 1.

This becomes a problem in the following cases. That is, for example, there is a case where it is desired to let the chemical solution or the like flow out to a target place while adjusting the outflow amount of the chemical solution or the like contained in the container. Specifically, when the herbicide is contained in a container, the amount of the herbicide sprayed per unit area is defined, so that the amount of outflow from the outlet of the container is not large and not small. In addition, the worker needs to adjust the outflow of the herbicide, and the herbicide must be sprayed on the grassy area. The amount of outflow increases when the container is tilted greatly, and decreases when the container is tilted slightly, so it is adjusted by tilting the container. At this time, as the amount of herbicide contained in the container decreases, the amount of outflow decreases even if the inclination is the same, so it is necessary to change the inclination of the container depending on the amount of herbicide contained in the container. .. Then, when trying to aim at the place where grass grows while slightly changing the inclination of the container with one hand as described above, the hand with respect to the handle so as to correspond to the position of the center of gravity of the container that changes depending on the amount of decrease in the herbicide. However, as described above, the handle at the rear of the container of Patent Documents 1 to 3 is not long enough to freely change the position of such a hand. In particular, for example, in the case of a container containing 5 liters or more of a chemical solution, the weight becomes 5 kg or more and becomes heavy, so that it becomes more difficult for the operator to slightly change the inclination of the container and the position of the outlet.

Further, in Patent Document 4, a handle provided only on the rear side of the container extends in the vertical direction, and an uneven grip portion formed so that the pad of a finger fits on the upper part and the lower part of the handle, respectively. Therefore, at the time of use, the upper part of the handle is held by one hand and the lower part is held by the other hand, and it is considered that it is not assumed that the container is tilted and used with only one hand. Further, when transporting the container of Patent Document 4, the upper part of the handle is held, but since this handle is on the rear side of the container, the container is tilted and it cannot be said that it is easy to transport.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to easily adjust the outflow amount of contents while holding the container with one hand while allowing the container to be easily transported. In addition to making it possible, the contents can be leaked to the target location.

As shown in FIG. 2, a space S2 into which a hand can be inserted is formed between the rear handle 3 and the other side wall portion 23 of the container body 2. The vertical dimension of the space S2 is longer than the longitudinal dimension of the space S1. It is possible to insert a hand into the space S2 and grasp the rear handle 3. The rear handle 3 is mainly used when the contents are discharged from the container with a handle 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the rear handle 3 can also be used when transporting the container 1 with a handle. The rear handle 3 is provided with a plurality of recesses 3c into which fingers are fitted so as to be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the rear handle 3. The thickness of the rear handle 3 and the thickness of the upper handle 4 are set to be substantially the same. Further, the rear handle 3 has an intermediate portion in the vertical direction curved in a direction away from the other side wall portion 23 of the container body 2 as compared with the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the rear handle 3.

Next, a case of transporting the container 1 with a handle configured as described above will be described. When transporting the container 1 with a handle, a hand is inserted into the space S1 and the upper handle 4 is gripped. The upper handle 4 is positioned between the outlet 25b and the upper part of the rear handle 3 at the upper part of the container body 2, and is located near the central portion in the width direction of the container body 2. Therefore, since the container 1 with a handle can have a portion having a well-balanced center of gravity, the container 1 with a handle can be easily transported.

Next, a case where the contents are discharged from the container 1 with a handle will be described. If the content is, for example, a herbicide, the amount of spraying per unit area is defined, so it is necessary to adjust the amount of runoff, and spraying is aimed at the place where grass grows. When the contents are to be discharged, since the rear handle 3 is located on the side opposite to the outlet 25b side, the operation of lowering the outlet 25b can be easily performed with one hand.

FIG. 6 shows a case where the content is large. As shown in FIG. 6, when the storage capacity of the contents is large, the inclination of the container 1 with a handle is reduced so that the outflow amount of the contents does not become more than necessary. When the capacity of the contents is large, the center of gravity of the container 1 with a handle is located closer to the outlet 25b than the rear handle 3, so insert a hand into the space S2 and grasp the upper side of the rear handle 3. The container 1 with a handle can be easily tilted just by lifting it. The inclination of the container 1 with a handle can be easily adjusted by changing the position of the hand with respect to the rear handle 3.

As the amount of the herbicide contained in the container 1 with the handle decreases, the amount of outflow decreases even if the inclination is the same. Therefore, the amount of the herbicide contained in the container 1 with the handle also affects the container 1 with the handle. You need to change the tilt. When changing the inclination of the container 1 with a handle, the position of the hand with respect to the rear handle 3 may be changed. Specifically, by gradually moving the hand to the lower side of the rear handle 3, the inclination of the container 1 with the handle can be increased, and finally the handle is reached to the extent shown in FIG. The attached container 1 can be tilted. In the state shown in FIG. 7, the outlet 25b is located at the bottom. When changing the inclination of the container 1 with a handle, since the rear handle 3 is curved, it can be easily changed by changing the position held by the hand.

As described above, according to the container 1 with a handle according to this embodiment, the rear handle 3 is provided so as to extend continuously from the upper part to the lower part of the container body 2 in a side view of the container body 2, and the upper part is provided. The handle 4 is positioned above the container body 2 between the outlet 25b and the upper portion of the rear handle 3. As a result, the container 1 with a handle can be easily transported by the upper handle 4, and the outflow amount of the contents can be easily adjusted while holding the rear handle 3 with one hand, and the contents flow out to the target location. Can be made to.

As in the modified example of the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the rear handle 3 may have a shape extending straight in the vertical direction.

The above embodiments are merely exemplary in all respects and should not be construed in a limited way. Furthermore, all modifications and modifications that fall within the equivalent scope of the claims are within the scope of the present invention.

As described above, the container with a handle according to the present invention is suitable for the case where the contents such as a herbicide are gradually discharged.
