Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to the structure of a handle in a liquid container such as a portable magic bottle. Particularly large portable magic bottles are equipped with a handle for dispensing the liquid content, but when not in use, the handle can be folded and placed tightly against the side of the liquid container so that it does not get in the way. A device is used that is pulled out and held only when in use.

BACKGROUND ART As a handle for a liquid container of this type, for example, one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-95730 is known. This device has both ends of the handle body engaged with the liquid container body via a connecting member, and the handle body is made up of two parts and is extendable and retractable, and the connecting member is connected to the handle body. It is designed so that it can be rotatably and slidably connected and folded. There is also known a structure in which the handle body is extendable and retractable, only its upper end is connected to the liquid container body via a connecting member, and the lower end is rotatably attached directly to the liquid container body.

Problems that the invention attempts to solve However, for these structures,
The number of parts is large, the structure is complex, and assembly is time-consuming, resulting in high costs. In particular, when the handle body is made to be extendable and retractable, the structure of the extendable portion must be extremely complicated.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a handle structure that is extremely simple and can be folded against the liquid container body.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, one end of the handle body is rotatably supported on the lower side surface of the liquid container body, and one end of the connecting member is rotatably supported on the other end of the handle body. and the other end of the connecting member is pivotally supported on the upper side surface of the liquid container body so as to be rotatable and slidable up and down with respect to the liquid container body, and the sliding range of the connecting member with respect to the liquid container body is fixed. It is characterized by having a click mechanism formed at both ends.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a magic bottle as an example of a liquid container to which the handle of the present invention is applied. The magic bottle main body 1 consists of a shoulder body 2, a body 3 and a bottom body 4, and the shoulder body 2 is covered with a lid 5 which also serves as a top. An ear portion 6 is provided protruding from one side of the shoulder body 2, and an attachment piece 7 is provided protrudingly below the ear portion 6 on the bottom body 4.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a handle body, the lower end of which is rotatably supported by the attachment piece 7, and the upper end of which is rotatably supported by one end of a connecting member 9. A vertically long long hole 10 is bored in the ear part 6, and a pin 11 is fitted into the other end of the connecting member 9 and has both ends protruding from the side surface of the connecting member 9.
both ends of which are rotatable in the long hole 10 and connected to the long hole 10.
It is fitted so that it can slide freely along. At both ends of the sliding range in which the connecting member 9 slides relative to the magic bottle main body 1, its position is held by a click mechanism.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a click mechanism at the lower end of the sliding range, in which a projection 12 is provided protruding from a portion of the shoulder body 2 between the ears 6. Further, the other end of the connecting member 9 is formed with a bulging portion 14 that bulges out obliquely upwardly from a circular arc 13 centered on the pin 11 .

FIG. 3 shows a modified example in which a substantially U-shaped through hole 15 is bored in a portion of the shoulder body 2 between the ear portions 6, and the protrusion is formed inside the U-shape of the through hole 15. 12 are provided protrudingly.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the click mechanism at the upper end of the sliding range. In this example, the elongated hole 10 has wide parts 16 and 17 that are slightly wider than the diameter of the pin 11 and can fit the pin 11 loosely thereinto from the upper end and the center to the lower half. At the same time, the wide part 1 at the upper end
A narrow portion 19 having a width slightly narrower than the diameter of the pin 11 is formed below the pin 11 via a stepped portion 18.
From the narrow part 19 to the wide part 17 in the center,
The width is expanding smoothly.

Operation The solid line in Figure 1 shows the handle when it is not in use. The handle body 8 and the connecting member 9 are in a substantially straight line along the side of the magic bottle body 1, and the pin 11 at the other end of the connecting member 9 slides upward along the elongated hole 10. , located at the upper end of the elongated hole 10. The pin 11 then fits into the wide part 16 at the upper end of the elongated hole 10 and remains stable there.

When the handle is to be used next, when the handle body 8 is pulled out to the side, the pin 11 climbs over the step 18 of the elongated hole 10 and slides downward through the narrow part 19, causing the connecting member 9 to disengage. It rotates with respect to the reward body 1. The other end of the connecting member 9 is connected to the protrusion 12.
When passing through the position, the protrusion 12 and the other end of the connecting member 9 initially make light contact because the bulging portion 14 is formed at the other end, but the other end of the connecting member 9 As the pin rotates and moves downward along the elongated hole 10, the contact with the protrusion 12 gradually becomes stronger, and when the pin 11 reaches the lower end of the elongated hole 10, the bulge 14 passes over the protrusion 12. A clicking feeling is provided, and the connecting member 9 is stabilized in this position. According to the example shown in FIG. 3, if the contact between the protrusion 12 and the bulge 14 becomes too strong, the inner part of the through hole 15 in which the protrusion 12 is formed will bend due to its elasticity. No force is required.

The state in which the handle is pulled out is shown in chain lines in FIG. In this state, the handle body 8
A triangle is formed between the connecting member 9 and the side surface of the magic bottle main body 1, and the space between the handle main body 8 and the magic bottle main body 1 side is opened, so that the handle main body 8
By gripping the magic bottle body 1 and tilting it, the contents can be poured out.

Next, when the handle body 8 is pressed toward the side surface of the magic bottle body 1, the pin 11 slides along the elongated hole 10, and the other end of the connecting member 9 moves upward.
At this time, the other end of the connecting member 9 moves while rotating with respect to the ear portion 6, so that the bulging portion 14 of the connecting member 9
can get over the protrusion 12 relatively easily. Also in this case, according to the example shown in FIG. 3, the bulging portion 14 can more easily get over the protrusion 12.

Then, when the pin 11 slides upward along the elongated hole 10, overcomes the narrow part 19 and crosses the stepped part 18,
It fits into the wide part 16 at the upper end, gives a click feeling, and is stable in this position.

In addition, the click mechanism in the present invention includes the second to fourth click mechanisms.
It is not limited to the structure shown in the figure,
Other suitable structures may also be employed. Further, although the structure shown in FIG. 4 is shown as the structure of the click mechanism at the upper end of the sliding range of the other end of the connecting member 9, it is also possible to employ this mechanism as the click mechanism at both the upper and lower ends. However, in this case, the other end of the connecting member 9 is slid downward by a component of the force for pulling out the handle body 8, but the other end of the connecting member 9 is near the lower end of the sliding range. In this state, the component force is small, and it is difficult to pass the pin 11 through the narrow portion using only the force for pulling out the handle body 8. Therefore, as the click mechanism at the lower end, the second
It is preferable to adopt the structure shown in FIG. 3 or 3, and apply the structure shown in FIG. 4 only to the click mechanism at the upper end.

Effects of the invention According to the invention, there are only two parts constituting the handle: the handle body 8 and the connecting member 9.
The number of parts is small and the structure is extremely simple. Further, there is no need for a mechanism for expanding and contracting the parts, and the structure of each individual part is extremely simple, resulting in low cost.

In addition, since click mechanisms are provided at both ends of the sliding range of the other end of the connecting member 9 relative to the magic bottle body 1, the handle does not come up and get in the way when not in use, or rattles when stored. It is easy to use. Furthermore, the click mechanism can also have an extremely simple structure without requiring any special parts.
