Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention can be used for home use, such as stacking baskets and shopping baskets, outdoor leisure facilities such as picnics and barbecues, or for displaying products in stores, or for industrial use. In addition, it is a container with a hanging handle that has a mesh structure or a flat plate structure and is widely used for harvesting agricultural products. Containers with hanging handles that can be used for nesting and stacking, and have an opening on the side wall that can be opened and closed to allow articles stored in the container body to be put in and taken out while in the stacked state. .

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Conventionally, a container with a hanging handle allows the container to be hung and held with one hand, and when the container is empty, it can be stacked in a telescoping manner to reduce space, and when the container is stored, the container can be hung and held. Containers with hanging handles that can be stacked on top of each other without damaging them are described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-40041 and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-118728.

Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention In the above-described conventionally known containers with hanging handles, it is impossible to take out and take out stored items from the containers while the containers are stacked in a stacked manner. Therefore,
Containers placed above the container into which articles are taken out must always be removed, which is inconvenient in use.

In addition, in the case of a container with a hanging handle described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-118728, in addition to a pair of hanging handles for hanging and holding the container, there is also a pair of hanging handles for allowing containers to be stacked on top of one another. Since a stacking handle is required, the number of parts increases, and assembly is labor-intensive, resulting in an expensive product, which is a problem that needs to be solved.

Means for Solving the Problems As a means for solving the problems of the past, the container with a hanging handle according to this invention is designed such that the upper side is large, the lower side is small, and the top side is open. a box-shaped container body 15 or 20, and a pair of hanging handles 13 in a substantially U-shape, which are rotatably attached to span between two parallel sides 15a, 15a of the opening periphery of the container body; 13, the pair of U-shaped hanging handles 13, 13 are located on two parallel sides of the opening periphery of the container body 15.
a, 15a, both lower ends of which are rotatably attached to symmetrical positions spaced approximately equidistant from the center to both sides of the container. The width dimensions m ₁ and m ₂ of the U-shape are different in size so that the device can be folded over the periphery of the opening of the main body. In particular, the width of the hanging handle with the smaller U-shaped width.
m ₁ is larger than the inner dimension n of the two parallel sides 15a, 15a of the opening periphery of the container body 15 to which both lower ends are attached.

C-shaped height dimension H of each of the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 is such that when the handles 13a, 13a are tilted inward so that they intersect with each other, the handles 13a, 13a are on the other two parallel sides of the opening periphery of the container body 15. 15b,1
5b at an interval smaller than the width Q of the bottom of the container body 15 (Figs. 1 and 3), and when tilted outward on both sides, the other two parallel sides 15 of the opening periphery
b, 15b was provided at a dimension position located outward from the inner slanted surface of 15b (Fig. 3).

D. The opening 1 or 21 is provided in at least one side wall 4 or 24 of the container body 15 or 20, and the flap 9 or 28 that can open and close this opening 1 or 21 from the outside has its lower part connected to the container body 1.
The flap 9 or 28 is supported by a sliding fulcrum that is provided below the bottom 15c or 20c of the container body 15c or 20 and moves in a direction parallel to the bottom 15c or 20c, and the upper part of the flap 9 or 28 is connected to the opening 1 or 20 of the container body 15 or 20. They are each characterized in that they are removably supported by a locking mechanism on the upper part of the side wall provided with the locking mechanism 21.

In addition, in the present invention, the bottom part 1 of the container body 15
A pair of hanging bodies 5, 5 are provided downward from 5c, a long guide groove 8 is provided in the hanging body 5 in a direction parallel to the bottom part 15c, and the boss 12 at the lower end of the flap 9 is slidably fitted into the guide groove 8. A sliding fulcrum is configured (FIGS. 1 to 3), or a pair of hanging bodies 25, 25 are provided downward from the bottom 20c of the container body 20, and this hanging body 2
A long rail 26 is attached to the inner surface of the flap 26 in a direction parallel to the bottom portion 20c, and the lower end of the flap 28 is placed on the pair of rails 26, 26 to form a sliding fulcrum. Another feature is that bosses 34 abutting the flap 27 are provided on both sides of the lower end of the flap 28 (FIGS. 4 to 7).

Function When the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 are erected and held together at the center, the container can be suspended in a predetermined posture using the base of the approximately isosceles triangle as the fulcrum.

When the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 are tilted inward so as to intersect with each other, they each fall onto the opening peripheral portions 15a, 15a of the container body 15, and are supported at both ends (FIG. 1). The handle portions 13a, 13a of each hanging handle are connected to an opening peripheral portion 15 parallel to the handle portions 13a, 13a.
b, 15b at a distance l smaller than the width Q of the bottom of the container body (FIG. 1). Therefore, the upper container with a hanging handle is placed and stacked on top of the two handle portions 13a, 13a (mounting type stacking = FIG. 3). At this time, there are two handle portions 13a, 13a in the cutout portions 14 of the hanging bodies 5, 5.
is contained and shearing movement is prevented.

When the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 are pushed outwards,
Each of the handle portions 13a, 13a is positioned outward from the inner surface of the opening peripheral portion 15b, 15b parallel to the handle portions (see the two-dot chain line illustration in FIG. 3). In other words, since the upper end opening surface of the container body 15 is completely opened, the containers with hanging handles in the upper tier can be stacked deeply in a nesting manner.

In the above-mentioned stacked state, the flap 9

8 is pushed substantially parallel to the underside of the bottom portion 15c or 20c, and the opening 1 or 21 is completely opened. This allows you to put items in and take them out of the container. Since the bottom portion 15c or 20c of the container body is supported elevated by the hanging body 5 or 25, there is no problem in opening and closing the flap 9 or 28.

Example Next, the illustrated embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The container with a hanging handle shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a box-shaped container body 15 that is large on the upper side and small on the lower side, and has an inverted trapezoid shape with the upper surface fully open. Two parallel opening peripheries 15
It consists of a pair of substantially U-shaped hanging handles 13, 13, which are rotatably attached to span between a and 15a.

A pair of U-shaped hanging handles 13, 13 are connected to two opening peripheral edges 1 parallel to the transverse direction of the container body 15.
Both lower end portions (free end portions) of each of 5a and 15a are rotatably attached by pins 16 at positions spaced approximately equal distance from the center to both sides thereof. Therefore, when holding the container with the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 erected and centered,
The two hanging handles 13, 13 can suspend the container in a stable position using the base of the isosceles triangle as a fulcrum as shown in FIG.

Further, the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 have U-shaped widths m ₁ , m ₂ so that they can be folded over the opening peripheral portions 15 a, 15 a of the container body 15 by crossing each other inwardly as shown in FIG. There is a difference in size (m ₂ > m ₁ ). However, the width _m1 of the inner hanging handle 13, which has a smaller width, is larger than the inner dimension n of the opening periphery 15a, 15a parallel to the transverse direction of the container body 15, and both lower ends are the opening periphery 15a, It is attached to the outer surface of 15a with a pin 16. The width m ₂ of the larger outer hanging handle 13 is formed to be wide enough to prevent interference with the inner hanging handle 13 when folded inward _.

Therefore, the two hanging handles 13, 13 that are folded inward so as to intersect with each other are always connected to the container body 1.
It falls down on the opening peripheral portions 15a, 15a in the width direction of No.5. Therefore, these two parallel handles 1
It is possible to place quite heavy objects on top of 3a and 13a. In addition, the hanging handle 1 is attached to the two opening peripheral parts 15a, 15a on which the hanging handle 13 falls.
Recess 1 of appropriate depth in the area where 3 and 13 fall down
7 and 17 are formed, and the hanging handle 13 is supported at the bottom of the recess 17. Therefore, the handle portion 13a of the hanging handle 13 is located considerably downward from the upper surface of the opening peripheral portion 15a. Yotsutte 3rd
In the stacking method shown in the figure, the bottoms of the upper containers are stably stacked with the bottoms of the containers slightly deeper into the upper surface of the opening periphery 13a of the lower containers.

The height dimension H of each of the pair of U-shaped hanging handles 13, 13 is such that when the pair of U-shaped hanging handles 13, 13 are folded inward to cross each other as shown in FIG. The two parallel handle portions 13a, 13a are located considerably inward from the opening peripheral portions 15b, 15b parallel to the longitudinal direction of the 15.
The distance 1 is a height dimension H that is smaller than the width dimension Q of the bottom of the container body 15. Therefore, on top of the handle portions 13a, 13a of the two parallel hanging handles that are folded inward so as to intersect with each other, the upper container with hanging handles is stacked as shown in Fig. 3. be able to.

A pair of left and right plate-shaped hanging bodies 5, 5 are provided downward at a considerable height from the bottom 15c of the container body 15 (FIG. 2). This hanging body 5,5
At the lower edge of the handle part 1 of the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 are folded down so as to intersect inward as described above.
A notch 14 is formed that is equal to or slightly longer than the distance 1 between the two handles 13a and 13a, and allows the container to be stacked on the two handles 13a and 13a without sliding.

The height dimension H of the U-shape of the hanging handle 13 is also determined by the inner slope (inner surface) of the opening peripheral portion 15b in the longitudinal direction in which the handle portion 13a is parallel to the handle portion 13a when it is tilted outward.
It is said that the size is located outward from the
(See the hanging handle at the position indicated by reference numeral 13 in the figure). Therefore, when the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 are tilted outwards, the upper end opening of the container is completely opened. Therefore, the upper containers can be stacked in a nested manner.

Next, on one side wall 4 in the longitudinal direction of the container body, an opening 1 is provided as a large rectangular window hole through which stored articles can be taken in and taken out (FIG. 2). On the side wall portion above the opening 1, three bosses 2, each having a large diameter shaft at the distal end and a small diameter shaft at the base end, are provided to protrude outwardly at equal intervals. On the other hand, in the upper part of the rectangular flap 9 that can open and close the opening 1 from the outside, there are longitudinal grooves 10 having approximately the same width as the small diameter axis of the three bosses 2 at positions corresponding to the three bosses 2.
is formed, and at its lower end is a circular hole 10 having a keyhole shape and having a size through which the large diameter portion on the tip side of the boss 2 passes.
A is formed in series. Therefore, when the flap 9 that closes the opening 1 is pulled up along the side wall 4, the circular hole 10a is arranged concentrically with the large diameter portion on the tip side of the boss 2, and then pulled toward you, the flap 9 is closed. A removable locking mechanism is configured to allow the screw to be pulled out from the boss 2.

On another side wall of the container body 15 that is perpendicular to the side wall 4 having the opening 1, a rib 3 is provided protruding from a portion below the bottom portion 15c. At a position slightly inside the rib 3, a hanging body 5 projects downward from the bottom portion 15c. A small piece-shaped stopper 6 is provided inside the end of the hanging body 5 closer to the opening 1. A sufficiently long slit-shaped guide groove 8 is provided at a relatively upper portion of the hanging body 5 and is arranged substantially parallel to the bottom 15c of the container body 15. This guide groove 8
At the end on the side where the stopper 6 is provided,
A series of vertically elongated holes 7 having some length are provided vertically upward (FIG. 3). At the upper edge of the flap 9, there is a finger hook 11 which is horizontally outwardly shaped like a narrow plate.
is formed. The lower end edge of the flap 9 is bent inward in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom 15c of the container, and bosses 12 are protruded from both ends thereof. The fulcrum is configured.

In the above-described container with a hanging handle, when the flap 9 is in use and the opening 1 is closed, the boss 12 at the bottom of the flap enters into the vertical hole 7 and is locked.
The upper part of the flap 9 is firmly fixed by the boss 2 being engaged with the upper end of the longitudinal groove 10. To open the opening 1, put your finger on the finger hook 11 and lift the flap 9 upward. Then, since the circular hole portion 10a at the lower end of the longitudinal groove 10 and the boss 2 are located concentrically, when the finger hook portion 11 is pulled toward the front, the boss 2 is removed. Next, while holding the finger hook 11, rotate the flap 9 downward using the boss 12 as a fulcrum and move the boss 12 in the depth direction along the guide hole 8.
c can be pushed sufficiently deep into the lower side, and the opening 1 will be completely open. When the finger rest 11 is released when the boss 12 reaches the inner end of the guide hole 8, the front part of the flap 9 is supported by the upper surface of the stopper 6. When closing the opening 1, it is sufficient to perform the operation opposite to when opening it.

Even in the stacked state of the containers shown in FIG.
are placed on the hanging handles 13, 13 of the lower containers, so the openings 1 of the upper containers can be opened and closed as described above while the containers are in a stacked state. There is no problem in putting it in and taking it out. In this case, the flap 9 with the opening 1 fully opened
The front portion of the container is in contact with the opening periphery of the lower container.

Second Embodiment In the containers shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the illustration of the hanging handle is omitted, and the details of the structure of the opening 21 and the flap 28 for opening and closing it are shown. That is, the container body 2
An opening 21 is provided as a sufficiently large rectangular window hole in one side wall 24 of 0 (FIG. 5). Small rectangular engagement holes 22 are formed at two locations on the left and right sides of the side wall portion above this opening 21 at intervals. In the container body 20, two other parallel side walls perpendicular to the side wall 24 having the opening 21 are provided with ribs 2 below the bottom 20c of the container.
3 is extended, and a hanging body 25 is provided to protrude downward from the bottom portion 20c at a position slightly inside the rib 23. A rail 26 is provided on the inner surface of each hanging body 25 at a position approximately at a mid-height, parallel to the bottom 20c of the container body 20. A rail 2 is provided at a position near the opening 21 of the hanging body 25.
A stopper 27 is provided in a protruding manner above the end of 6.

A push-down piece 30 is formed in series along the upper edge of the flap 28, which can open and close the opening 21 from the outside, through a thin hinge part 29. An engagement piece 32 having an engagement claw 31 that can be freely engaged with and disengaged from the engagement hole 22 is provided above the push-down piece 30, thereby forming a detachable locking mechanism. The lower part of the flap 28 is curved to fit between the bottom 20c of the container and the rail 26, and a boss 34 is provided outwardly projecting from substantially fan-shaped ribs 33 on both sides of the flap 28. A slide fulcrum is configured that hits the.

In the container with a hanging handle configured as above, the flap 2
8 closes the opening 21, the engagement claw 31 of the flap 28 is engaged with the engagement hole 22, the boss 34 is engaged with the stopper 27, and the lower end curved portion of the flap 28 is engaged with the rail. 26 (FIG. 6). When opening the opening 21, the push-down piece 30 is pushed down. Then, the engagement claw 31 is disengaged from the engagement hole 22 via the thin hinge portion 29. Then, when the push-down piece 30 is pulled forward, the upper part of the flap 28 is released from being restrained. Next, while holding the push-down piece 30, the flap 28 is rotated downward about the boss 34 and moved in the depth direction along the rail 26, and the flap 28 is pushed under the bottom portion 20c. In this way, the opening 21 is completely open, and stored items can be taken in and out freely.

The operation of closing the opening 21 with the flap 28 is as follows:
The engaging claw 31 may be locked in the engaging hole 22 by operating the push-down piece 30 by performing almost the opposite operation to the above. In the case of this embodiment as well, the opening and closing operations of the opening 21 can be performed while the containers with hanging handles are stacked on top of each other.

Effects of the present invention As explained above, the container with a hanging handle of the present invention can be hung and held in a stable position with one hand using the pair of hanging handles 13, By tilting both outwards, nesting is possible, and the same hanging handle 13
By folding them inward so that they intersect with each other, stacking can be done, and opening 1
Alternatively, since the container 21 can be opened and closed, it can be used, for example, as a stacking container for a movable shelf. Therefore,
When transporting empty containers to a place where the stored items are located, they are stacked in a nested manner, and the stored items are stored and transported as is to the place where the stored items are used, and at the place where the stored items are used, the stored items are taken out. In the meantime, it can be used in a variety of ways, such as by stacking containers on top of each other, allowing related and continuous operations to be performed consistently, smoothly, and rationally using the same container.

Moreover, since the size of the opening 1 or 21 can be made sufficiently large according to the width of the side wall 4 or 24, it is extremely easy to take in and take out stored articles. In addition, opening and closing of the opening 1 or 21 is easy, and the pair of hanging handles 13, 13 can be made of the same product with the same shape and dimensions on the left and right sides, which is advantageous in production management, inventory management, maintenance management, etc. It is.
