Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a cold box in which a table on which objects can be placed is formed on the grip portion of the handle.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, even if both ends of the handle are rotatably supported in a cold box, the handle only has the function of gripping the handle when carrying the box. On the other hand, Utility Model Publication No. 40-34530 proposes a container that can be used as a table by attaching a pedestal with the handle in a horizontal position, but the pedestal must be removed when folding for packaging or storage. It also had the disadvantage of being bulky.

[Purpose of the invention] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, this invention has a handle rotatably supported on a cold box, and when the handle is tilted to one side, the table surface of the grip part is in a substantially horizontal state, and an object is placed on the table surface. To propose a cold box in which a table surface of a grip part is placed along the other side of the cold box so that when the handle is turned to the other side during packing or storage, the box is not bulky.

[Structure of the invention] In this invention, a cold box is provided with a handle that is rotatably supported at both ends, and when the handle is tilted to one side, the handle comes into contact with the side surface of the cold box, and the grip part of the handle The handle is formed so that the table surface of the grip is attached to the other side of the cold box when the table surface is held in a substantially horizontal state and the handle is tilted to the other side.

[Embodiment] The present invention will be explained below with reference to the illustrated embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a top lid 3 is attached to the outside of the upper edge of a cold box 1 in the form of a two-page spread so that it can be opened and closed with a hinge 2. At the same time, both ends 4a of the handle 4 are attached to the side of the cold box 1.
4a is rotatably supported by a shaft 5, and the grip portion 6 of the handle 4 is formed into a plate shape, and a finger hole 6b is bored in the table surface 6a having a flat plate surface.

The opening of the cold box 1 is covered with an inner lid 7.

When the cold box 1 is carried around, the finger of the hand is passed through the finger hole 6b as shown by the chain line in FIG. When the handle 4 is tilted to one side, the end surface 6c of the grip part 6 comes into contact with one side surface 1a of the cold box 1, and when it comes into contact with it, the table surface 6a of the grip part 6 becomes approximately horizontal, and the table function is performed. Object 8 can be placed on it as shown in Figure 2.

Next, when the cold box 1 is packed or stored, the handle 4 is rotated toward the other side 1b of the cold box 1 as shown by the two-dot chain line, and this rotation causes the table surface 6a to align with the other side 1b. Since the grip does not protrude significantly from the other side surface 1b, it does not become bulky even though a large handle is attached.

The handle 4 supported by the cold box 1 is configured as described above, and the table surface 6a of the grip portion 6 is in a substantially horizontal state.
When the object 8 is placed on the surface, the object 8 is placed at a higher position than the ground, making it easier to handle the object 8.

In addition, in places where the wind blows, the table surface 6a can be used as a cold storage box 1.
By placing the object in the shade of the upper cover 3, the object will not be blown away by the wind compared to when placing the object on top of the upper cover 3, and the object can be placed stably.

Table surface 6 opposite to end surface 6c of grip portion 6
A low jetty 6d may be provided on the edge of the table surface 6a as shown in FIG. 3 to prevent objects placed on the table surface 6a from sliding off.

Further, a recessed portion in which the jetty 6d engages may be provided on the other side surface 1b of the cold box 1.

FIG. 4 shows an auxiliary plate 9 on the table surface 6a of the grip part 6.
This is a modified example in which the table surface 9a of the auxiliary plate 9 is rotatably attached with a hinge 10, and a finger hole 9b is bored in the table surface 9a of the auxiliary plate 9, so that when the auxiliary plate 9 is opened, the area on which objects can be placed becomes wider.

A jetty 9c is provided on the edge of the auxiliary plate 9 to prevent objects placed on it from slipping and to prevent the table surface 6a when the auxiliary plate 9 is folded.
It may be made to engage with a notch 6e provided on the edge of the holder.

[Effects of the invention] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to give the grip part of the handle a table function with a simple construction, and items can be placed on the table surface, and it can also be used for packing and storing cold boxes. When doing so, the table surface of the grip part is aligned with the other side of the cold box so that the amount of protrusion from the cold box is extremely small, so it is possible to provide a cold box that has excellent practical effects such as being not bulky.
