[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle member which is used by being attached to a container having a roof-shaped top closing portion on an upper portion of a rectangular tubular body portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as a disposable liquid container, a paperboard having a surface laminated with a synthetic resin such as polyethylene is used, and this is formed into a rectangular tube shape to form a bottom closing part.
A so-called Gobeltop-type container is widely used in which a roof-shaped top closed portion is formed by filling the liquid as the contents into it and then folding the upper portions of both side surfaces and inclining the remaining both side surfaces. There is. And since this type of container is excellent in convenience, it is not only used as a container for beverages such as milk, juice, liquor, etc. which are often seen, but recently, edible oil and liquid detergent etc. are also put in this container. It is being sold.

[0003]

The container described above has a considerable weight when a liquid is stored as the contents.
Therefore, there is a problem in that the contents slip off when the contents are poured out by grasping both sides with a hand. Therefore, it is possible to attach a separate handle member to the container, but since it has a shape protruding from the container, there is a problem in that it is an obstacle in handling during transportation or display. In addition, there are problems that the cost of the container itself is high and that only the handle cannot be reused.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is that it can be mounted only during use and can be reused, and it does not come off during use. It is to provide a handle member.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the handle member according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a container having a roof-shaped top closing portion on an upper portion of a rectangular tubular body portion. A handle member to be attached and used, which is a rectangular tube portion having four side panels and having a size into which the body portion of the container is fitted.
A grip portion continuously provided on the outside of any one of the two side panels and an upper edge of at least one side panel adjacent to the side panel to which the grip portion is continuously provided; And a folding panel having a size that fits into a folding portion in the top closed portion of the container.

In order to achieve the same object, the handle member of the second embodiment according to the present invention is attached to a container having a roof-shaped top closing portion on the upper portion of a rectangular tubular body portion. A handle member to be used, which is a rectangular tube portion having four side panels and having a size into which the body portion of the container is fitted, and a square tubular portion connected to the outside of any one of the four side panels. And a grip part, and the grip part is connected to the upper edge of the side panel and the upper edge of the side panel opposite to the grip part. And a pair of bent panels that

Further, in the handle member of the second embodiment, the folding panel connected to the side panel opposite to the grip portion may be omitted.

[0008]

The above-mentioned handle member of the present invention is attached to the container by fitting the body portion of the container into the rectangular tube portion and further inserting the folding panel into the folding portion of the container. In this mounted state, the folding panel acts to prevent the handle member from sliding upwards with respect to the container, and also to permit sliding downwards.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a handle member of the first form according to the present invention.

The handle member 1 shown in FIG. 1 is formed by bending a paperboard and gluing it at a predetermined location. The handle member 1 has a rectangular tubular portion composed of four side panels 2, 3, 4, 5 and a right front side surface. The grip portion 6 is provided continuously to the panel 2 and is located outside the side panel 2, and the grip portions 6 are continuously provided to the upper edges of both side surface panels 3 and 5 adjacent to the side panel 2 to which the grip portion 6 is continuously provided. It is composed of bent panels 7 and 8 having a triangular shape.
Here, the size of the rectangular tube portion composed of the side panels 2, 3, 4, 5 is such that the body portion of the container to be mounted is just fitted, and the folding panels 7, 8 are the top portions of the container. It has a shape corresponding to the triangular folding inclined surface in the folding portion forming the closing portion.

This handle member 1 is a Gobel-top type container having a roof-shaped top closed portion on the upper portion of a rectangular tube-shaped body, and as shown in FIG. It is used by being attached to a liquid container C having a spout S for articles and the like. That is, each side panel 2, 3,
The gripping part 6 has a spout S in the rectangular tubular part composed of 4, 5.
With the body of the container C fitted so that it is on the opposite side, then the folding panels 7 and 8 are fitted into the folds B on both sides of the container C while sliding the handle member 1 upward. As a result, it is attached to the container C. By mounting in this way, the folding panels 6 and 7 are placed in the container C.
The handle member 1 is fitted in the container C in a state where the handle member 1 is temporarily fixed so that the handle member 1 is fitted into the folded portion B so as to overlap the triangular inclined slope.

In order to pour out the liquid in the container C to which the handle member 1 is attached, the liquid is poured from the spout S by tilting the whole while holding the grip portion 6 of the handle member 1 by hand. In this case, since force is applied to the folding panels 7 and 8 so as to bite into the folded portion of the container C, the handle member 1 does not come off.

In order to remove the handle member 1 from the container C after use, the opposite side panels of the handle member 1 are sandwiched by hand and forcibly slid downward, so that the folding panels 7 and 8 are removed from the container C. With it pulled out from the folding part,
You can easily remove it by sliding it as it is.

In the above embodiment, the angle of inclination of the folding panels 7, 8 from the side panels 3, 5 is basically the same angle as the hypotenuse of the folding inclined surface in the folding portion B of the container C. However, the angle may be slightly different as long as the folding panels 7 and 8 can be fitted into the folding portions.

Further, although the stability in use is slightly inferior, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, one of the folding panels 7 and 8 may be omitted (note that the folding panel 8 is omitted in FIG. 3).

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the bent panels 7 and 8 may be formed by cutting the upper portions thereof. However, when the folding panels 7 and 8 are formed in a shape other than the triangular shape as described above, the height of the folding panels 7 and 8 has a force for preventing the handle member 1 from falling downward during use,
In addition, the side panels 3 and 5 must be dimensioned to have a strength such that they do not buckle and deform due to an upward force. Further, as long as such a condition is satisfied, even if one of the folding panels 8 as shown in FIG. 3 is omitted, the upper portion of the remaining folding panel 7 may be cut. It is possible.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the handle member of the second form according to the present invention.

The handle member 11 shown in FIG. 5 is also formed by bending a paperboard and pasting it at a predetermined position. Then, a rectangular tube portion composed of four side surface panels 12, 13, 14, 15 and a grip portion 16 which is connected to the right front side surface panel 12 and is located outside the side surface panel 12, and the grip portion 1
6 is formed by the upper edge of the side panel 12 and the bent portions 17, 18 continuously connected to the upper edge of the side panel 14 on the opposite side. The size of the rectangular tube is such that the body of the container to be mounted is just fitted, and the folding panels 17 and 18 are shaped to correspond to the triangular folding slopes at the top closed portion of the container. Is the same as that of the previous embodiment.

This handle member 11 is a Gobel-top type container having a roof-shaped top closing portion on the upper portion of a rectangular tube-shaped body portion, which has no spout S, that is, in FIG. As shown in the figure, half of the top seal portion F is peeled off and the folded portion is raised to attach to a container C'of a type that forms a pouring portion. That is, each side panel 12, 13,
The bent panel 1 is placed in a rectangular tube portion composed of 14 and 15.
With the body portion of the container C ′ fitted in a state in which 7 and 18 face the folded portion of the container C ′, and the folding members 17 and 18 are slid upward, the folding panels 17 and 18 are folded into the folded portion B ′ of the container C ′. It is attached to the container C ′ by fitting it inside and bringing it into contact with the folding inclined surface. In this case, as in the case of the previous embodiment, since the folding panels 17 and 18 fit exactly into the folding portion B ′ of the container C ′, the handle member 1
1 is attached to the container C ′ in a temporarily fixed state.

When the liquid inside is poured out from the container C ′ to which the handle member 11 is attached, the top seal portion F is peeled off on the side opposite to the grip portion 16 and the folded portion is raised to form the spout portion. However, in this case, although not visible in the figure, the bent panel 18 on which the pouring portion is formed is in a state of protruding outward together with the folding inclined surface. Even if the folding panel 18 is exposed to the outside as described above, if the holding portion 16 is held by hand and the liquid inside is poured from the pouring portion by tilting the whole, the bending portion on the side of the holding portion 16 is bent. Container C'for panel 17
Since force is applied so as to cut into the folding part of the handle member 1
1 never comes off. Alternatively, the handle member 11 may be attached after forming the pouring portion in the container C ′. In any case, the bending panel 18 on the side of the spout is on the outside when the spout is open, so when the spout is closed, it may be necessary to fold it back to the inside to firmly and temporarily fix it. preferable. By doing so, it is possible to reliably prevent the container C ′ from falling out when carrying. In addition,
This handle member 11 can also be removed in the same manner as in the previous embodiment.

Also in this embodiment, the angle of inclination of the bent panels 17, 18 from the side panels 14, 14 is as follows.
It is preferable that the angle is basically the same as the hypotenuse of the folding inclined surface in the folding portion B ′ of the container C ′, but there may be a slight difference in angle as long as the folding panels 17 and 18 can be fitted into the folding portion. ..

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the folding panel 18 on the side opposite to the grip portion 16 may be omitted. That is, as described above, since the folding panel 18 is outside when the spout is opened and does not play a role when pouring the contents, the stability at the time of carrying may be somewhat inferior, but the gripping part is not necessary. 16 side bent panel 17
Cannot be omitted because the folding panel 17 alone prevents the container C ′ from falling out when pouring the contents.

Also in the handle member 11 of the type of this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to have a shape in which the upper portions of 7 and 18 are cut. However,
It is necessary to have the same strength as described above. Further, even if the folding panel 18 as shown in FIG. 7 is omitted, the upper portion of the folding panel 17 on the side of the grip portion 16 may be cut as long as it has strength.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the handle member may be made of plastic, for example. In this case, it can be formed by punching out a relatively thick plastic sheet into a predetermined shape, and assembling and adhering it in the same manner as in the case of paperboard. It is also possible to form the plastic by injection molding. The shape of the grip portion of the handle member may be any shape as long as it can be firmly gripped by the hand.

The container to which the handle member of the present invention is attached is not limited to a square horizontal cross section, and may be a rectangular horizontal cross section. In this case, it goes without saying that the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the rectangular tube portion of the handle member is also adapted to them.

[0027]

As described above, according to the handle member of the present invention, the grip portion is provided on the outside of any side panel in the rectangular tube portion, and at least one side panel corresponding to the folded portion of the container to be mounted. Since the folding panel is connected to the upper edge of the container, it can be easily attached to the container by inserting the body of the container into the square tube and inserting the bending panel into the folding part. Since it can be easily removed by sliding it downwards, it can be attached to the container only when it is used and does not interfere with the transportation or display of the container, and it can be used many times.

Further, since a force is applied to the handle member in such a direction that it will not come off when it is lifted by holding the grasping part, it will not come off during use.
