Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a handle for cans that can be attached to beer, youth, etc. cans.

When drinking a metal can containing beer or the like, the can is either held directly or a separately manufactured handle is attached to the handle to be held.

If the can container is large, if the can container is too low or high temperature to grip, or if you do not want the temperature of the contents of the can container to change due to the heat of your hands, attach a handle to the can container and use this handle. Preferably, the can container is gripped through the can container.

However, conventional handles have a generally U-shaped overall shape and are designed to hold the upper and lower ends of the can container at both ends, and are large and require a large amount of force to attach. need to be transported separately (Jitko No. 38-9758, Jitko No. 57
-Refer to No. 49722).

In consideration of the above facts, the present invention aims to provide a handle for can containers that is easily attached and securely attached to can containers, is small in size, and is convenient for transportation.

The present invention is a handle in which a pair of mounting parts are each adapted to be attached to a seaming part formed at both ends of a can container, and a grip part is connected between these mounting parts,
The mounting portion includes a base portion connected to the gripping portion, a pair of linear portions protruding from the base portion, and a hook portion including a folded portion protruding from the tip of the linear portion and accommodating the can container tightening portion; an elastically deformable claw-shaped stopper that is inclined from a base between the pair of straight parts toward the inside of the folded part and abuts a can container seaming part in the folded part from the opposite side of the folded part; It is characterized by having

Therefore, in the present invention, if the can container sealing part is accommodated in the folded part while elastically deforming the claw-shaped stopper, the sealing part is held between the folded part and the claw-shaped stopper, and each mounting part can be secured independently. It is fixed to the seaming part.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a handle according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The handle in this embodiment is the first gripping part 10.
A and a second gripping part 10B, and a mounting part 1 is attached to one end of these gripping parts 10A and 10B, respectively.
2 are connected, and this mounting portion 12 is adapted to be engaged with a seaming portion 16 that connects the top plate 14A and side plate 14B of the can container 14.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mounting portion 12 has a plate shape with a constant thickness as a whole, and a pair of linear portions 20 protrude from the base portion 18 in parallel with each other.

A substantially L-shaped folded portion 22 integrally projects from the tip of each of these straight portions 20 . As a result, the straight portion 20 and the folded portion 22 form a substantially U-shape and constitute a housing 24 that accommodates the seaming portion 16.

A claw-like stopper 26 protrudes from the base 18 and is disposed between the pair of straight parts 20. This claw-like stopper 26 is inclined with respect to the straight portion 20, and its tip portion protrudes toward the inner side of the folded portion 22.

As a result, this claw-like stopper 26 comes into contact with the outer periphery of the seaming part 16 and is elastically deformed when the mounting part 12 is attached to the seaming part 16 as shown by arrow A in FIG. to open. Further, after the seaming part 16 is housed in the housing part 24, the seaming part 16 is brought into contact with the bottom surface of the seaming part 16 and moved from the housing part 24.
6 is making it impossible for him to escape.

L-shaped holders 38 are protruded from both sides of the first gripping part 10A toward the end opposite to the mounting part 12, and are opposed to each other.

A pair of integral hinges 40 and 42 are provided at an appropriate distance between the end to which the holder 38 is attached and the base 18 of the mounting portion 12, and these integral hinges are connected to the first gripping portion. 1
0A can be elastically deformed from the middle part around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

A pair of notches 44 are formed on both sides of the intermediate portion of the integral hinges 40, 42 to reduce the width dimension of the first gripping portion 10A. The width dimension of the portion where this notch 44 is provided is approximately the same as the width dimension between the tip ends of the holder 38.

On the other hand, the second gripping part 10B also has the same shape as the first gripping part 10A.

In the handle of this embodiment configured in this way, when used, the first gripping part 10A and the second gripping part 10B are separated.
and are now used in opposite directions. That is, since the notches 44 of the first gripping part 10A and the second gripping part 10B can pass through the holders 38 of the second gripping part 10B and the first gripping part 10A, respectively, both gripping parts 10A, 10B, the holder 38 of one grip part will hold the other grip part. Therefore, these gripping parts are movable relative to each other in the longitudinal direction, and when the notch 44 is separated from the holder 38 by relative movement, both gripping parts are movable relative to each other only in the longitudinal direction, and cannot be separated from each other. Become.

As a result, if both the gripping parts are moved relative to each other in the longitudinal direction in a state where they cannot be separated, and the mounting parts 12 are respectively attached to the seaming parts 16 of the can container, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The first gripping part 10A and the second gripping part 10B are in a state along the side plate 14B of the can container, and do not protrude significantly from the outer periphery of the can container 14 during transportation, so that they can be easily accommodated in a container or the like.

To attach the attachment part 12 to a can container, it is only necessary to bring each attachment part 12 close to the seam part 16 of the can container. That is, the claw-like stopper 26 of the mounting part 12 comes into contact with the seaming part 16 and is elastically deformed, and after the seaming part 16 is accommodated in the accommodation part 24, the seaming part 1
6 to prevent the winding portion 16 from coming off. At the same time, the top surface and inner peripheral surface of the seaming part 16 are in contact with the folded part 22, and the outer peripheral surface is in contact with the straight part 20, so that the mounting part 12 can be reliably engaged with the seaming part 16. As a result, the gripping parts 10A and 10B can be reliably attached to the can container 14 via the mounting part 12.

Note that when the pair of mounting parts 12 are both fitted into the seaming part, the pair of gripping parts move in a direction where they are temporarily separated from each other, but this movement is caused by the gripping parts 10A and 1
The 0Bs slide against each other and are absorbed.

In use, the integral hinges 40 and 42 are deformed as shown in FIG.
If it is separated from B, the vicinity of this tip becomes a gripping part, and it becomes possible to lift the can container 14 and perform necessary operations such as pouring out the contents into a cup or the like.

Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show a handle according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the handle of this embodiment, connecting plates 46 and 48 that are parallel to each other integrally connect the base portions 18 of the pair of mounting portions 12. Further, a grip portion 50 projects from one base portion 18 via an integral hinge 52. A stopper 56 is formed at the distal end of the gripping portion 50, the thickness of which increases rapidly via the stepped portion 54, and the thickness of the stopper 56 gradually decreases toward the distal end.

This stopper 56 corresponds to a U-shaped locking portion 58 provided on the other base portion 18. Stoppa 5
6 can pass through this U-shaped locking portion 58 while elastically deforming it, but after passing, the stepped portion 54 comes into contact with the U-shaped locking portion 58 and cannot return.

In this embodiment, the interval between the mounting parts 12 formed at both ends is slightly larger than the dimension between the seaming parts 16 of the can container 14, so that the mounting parts 12 are engaged with the seaming parts 16, respectively. Then, the connecting plates 46 and 48 are connected to the sixth
As shown in the figure, they deform and bulge out by a slight amount in the direction of separating from each other.

If the stopper 56 at the tip of the gripping part 50 is inserted into the U-shaped locking part 58, this gripping part 50 will be held at the fourth position.
As shown in the figure, since it is curved and protrudes to the outside of the side plate 14B of the can container, the can container 14 can be lifted by gripping the gripping portion 50 as in the conventional example.

Note that during transportation, the vicinity of the stopper 56 of the gripping portion 50 is further inserted into the U-shaped locking portion 58 to remove the gripping portion 50.
What is necessary is to eliminate the curvature of the can container side plate 14B and make it in a state along the can container side plate 14B.

Next, FIGS. 6 and 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a U-shaped locking part 60 is fixed to the base 18 of one mounting part 12, and a grip part 62 protrudes from the base 18 of the other mounting part 12. This gripping part 62 has three integral hinges 64, 66, 68 in the middle part,
The grip portion 62 is deformable from the middle portion around the longitudinal axis.

Furthermore, stoppers 72 whose widths are rapidly enlarged via step portions 70 are formed at the distal ends of the gripping portions 62, and the widths of these stoppers 72 gradually decrease toward the distal ends. Further, a U-shaped groove 74 is formed in the center of the tip of the gripping portion 62 along the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion, so that the pair of stoppers 72 can be elastically deformed in directions toward and away from each other.

Therefore, in this embodiment, if the stopper 72 is inserted into the U-shaped locking portion 60 and the stopper 72 is made to protrude from the opposite side of the U-shaped locking portion 60, the stepped portion 70 will open as shown in FIG. The gripping part 62 is attached to the can container 14 by engaging with the U-shaped locking part 60, and the integral hinges at the middle part of the gripping part 62 are deformed to attach the middle part of the gripping part to the can container 14. If it is separated from the side plate 14B, the grip portion 62 can be easily gripped.

Next, FIG. 8 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the base 1 of one mounting part 12 is
8 and the base 18 of the other attachment section 12 via integral hinges 92 and 94, respectively, and an integral hinge 96 is provided at the intermediate portion of the grip section 90.

The grip portion 90 is configured to extend the integral hinge 96 so that the pair of attachment portions 12 can be made larger than the dimension between the tightening portions 16.

Therefore, in this embodiment as well, the pair of mounting parts 12
After being attached to the seaming part 16, each integral hinge is deformed to separate the grip part 90 from the can side plate 14B as shown in FIG. 8, so that it can be easily gripped.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the grip shown in the above embodiment, and various types of grip can be used.

As explained above, in the present invention, the can container sealing part is accommodated in the storage part, and the mounting part is fixed to the sealing part by pressing with a claw-like stopper from the opposite side. It is fixed to the tightening part independently without relying on elastic force, allowing for small, easy and reliable installation, and has excellent effects that can be applied even to thin-walled structures where the grip part expands and contracts and is easily elastically deformed. have
