Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a serving container used as a container for serving food.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of container was mainly constructed as a lacquer art object, and because of its high quality and elegance of form,
Rather than being practical, it can be said that it belongs to the object of evaluation as a craft. However, with recent advances in synthetic resin molding technology, molded handles have come to occupy a position as practical products.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, in the case of a hand made from a molded product, the bucket-shaped container and the arcuate handle are separately molded and then fixed by adhesive or other means, so it is possible to maintain an elegant appearance as an inexpensive practical product. However, the space occupied by the rising handle is too bulky compared to the volume of the bucket-like container, and its practicality has been significantly impaired in terms of storage, cleaning, and other maintenance.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art.When in use, the arcuate handle is fixed to the bucket-shaped container to maintain its elegance in form, and when stored, the two can be folded or separated. The purpose is to provide a hand that can be stored in a low-volume manner.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the hand according to the present invention includes a bucket-shaped container and an arcuate handle whose lower ends are removably attached to both outer sides of the container. A protrusion and a pin having a horizontally elongated head above the protrusion are provided, and a rectangular hole is bored in both outer sides of the container through which the long part of the pin head can be inserted from the bottom surface. At the same time, a notch into which the protrusion of the handle can fit is provided at the lower end of the outer wall on the surface side of this hole, and a vertically elongated hole into which the short part of the pin head can fit is formed directly above this notch. It is a feature.

[Effect]

Since the handle of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, when assembling it, the short part of the horizontally long pin head is pressed and fitted along the vertically long holes on both outsides of the tub-shaped container with the arcuate handle in the horizontal position. Then, rotate the arcuate handle around the pin to the upright position so that the horizontally elongated part of the pin head is aligned crosswise with the back side of the vertically elongated hole, and pull up the handle so that the lower end protrusion is attached to the container. By fitting the handle into the notch at the outer lower end, the handle can be fixed to the tub-shaped container in an upright state. In addition, when storing, contrary to the above operation, if you push down both lower ends of the handle and pull the protrusion at the lower end of the handle downward from the notch at the lower end of the container, the handle supports the head of the handle in its vertical hole relative to the container. It can be folded and rotated around the pin, and can be folded down into a flat folded state.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the illustrated embodiment. As shown in FIG. It is completed.

However, on the inside of both lower ends of the arcuate handle 2, there are second
As shown in the figure, a protrusion 3 is provided, and a pin 4 with an elliptical head is provided above the protrusion 3, and this pin head is connected to the short part l as shown in Fig. 2b. It is formed to be horizontally long with the long portion L in the horizontal direction.

On the other hand, on both outer sides of the tub-shaped container 1, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, there are strip-shaped deep holes 5 through which the long portion L of the head of the pin 4 can be inserted from the bottom surface.
At the same time, a notch 6 is provided at the lower end of the outer wall on the surface side of this hole 5, into which the protrusion 3 of the handle 2 can be inserted from below, and a vertically elongated hole 7 is bored directly above this notch 6. ing. A short portion l of the head of the pin 4 of the handle 2 is located at an intermediate position of the vertically elongated hole 7.
A bulging portion 7a is provided which can be press-fitted.

Since it has the above configuration, in this example,
To assemble the arcuate handle 2 to the bucket-shaped container 1, first, with the handle 2 in the horizontal position, the short part l of the head of the pin 4 is inserted into the bulge 7a in the vertically elongated hole 7 on the container 1 side.
Next, rotate the handle 2 around this pin 4 to bring it to the upright position, and align the long part L of the head of the pin 4 along the width of the rectangular hole 5, that is, the long part L of the pin 4. After aligning the dimensional part L with the back side of the vertically elongated hole 7 in a crosswise manner, the handle 2 is pulled up so that the protrusion 3 at the lower end thereof is fitted into the notch 6 of the container 1. In this way, the arcuate handle 2 can be attached to the tub-shaped container 1 by fitting the head of the pin 4 into the vertically elongated hole 7 without being able to be pulled out, and by fitting the protrusion 3 into the notch 6. It is supported in two places to ensure that it remains upright and is fixed, and all of the connecting elements for fixing these are shielded from the outside to create a sense of unity between the bucket-shaped container 1 and the arc-shaped handle 2 as a handle. It will not be damaged.

Next, when storing, contrary to the above-mentioned operation, push down both lower ends of the handle 2 and move the lower end protrusion 3 into the container.
When the handle 2 is pulled downward from the notch 6 of the container 1,
Since the handle 2 can be folded and rotated around the pin 4 whose head is supported in the vertically elongated hole 7, the handle 2 can be folded down and folded flat along the container 1 for convenient storage. can be achieved. Note that the container 1 and handle 2 are assembled by reversing the assembly operation described above.
Needless to say, it is possible to separate the Further, in the above embodiment, the bulge 7a is formed in the vertically long hole 7 of the container 1.
is provided to fit the short portion l of the head of the pin 4 in the handle 1, but it is also possible to match the width of the vertically elongated hole 7 to the short portion l and substantially omit the bulging portion 7a. can. Furthermore, the forms of the container and handle are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and of course, various forms can be selected.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the arcuate handle can be easily switched between the graceful upright fixed position and the flat folded storage position, significantly improving the practicality of the handle as a holding handle. There are benefits to be gained.
