The present invention relates to an integrally molded container provided with a handle and a lid, which is used when a customer brings it home.

Conventional technology and its problems For example, when selling insects such as bellworms, they are stored in a large breeding container, and when the customer purchases them and takes them home, the It is common to transfer to a container temporarily. As such a container,
Conventionally, a box-shaped container made of cardboard or the like is generally used.However, this type of paper container has a high manufacturing cost, not only looks bad, but also breeds insects at the time of sale. It had to be transferred from the container to a take-away container, and the work was troublesome.

On the other hand, instead of such a paper container, it is conceivable to adopt an insect cage-shaped portable container made of a synthetic resin molded product that can be exhibited and sold in a state in which insects are stored in advance,
This kind of container usually has a plurality of constituent members such as a container body, a lid and a handle member, and is completed by separately molding and assembling each constituent member. Therefore, it is necessary to create a molding die for each component member, and in addition to the high manufacturing cost of the molding die, since there are a plurality of component members, the assembling work of them is required. The manufacturing cost was high, and it could not be adopted at all due to the cost of the product that is stored and sold inside. Such a problem is not limited to the case of selling insects, and the same applies to other products.

This invention was made in view of the above problems,
An object of the present invention is to provide an integrally-molded container having a handle and a lid, which can reduce the manufacturing cost and is excellent in functionality and fashionability.

Means for Solving the Problems In this invention, therefore, the container body, the lid and the handle member which are usually formed separately are integrally formed.

That is, the present invention is a container made of synthetic resin, which has a container body having an opening at the upper end, a lid body covered with the container body, and a handle member, and these are integrally molded, The lid body is flexibly connected at one side edge portion thereof to the opening edge portion of the container body via a thin connecting piece, and at the opposite opening edge portions of the container body, an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction thereof. The handle member mounting projections and the locking projections are provided outwardly in a manner of being located on both sides of the locking member, and the handle member mounting projections are obliquely below the locking projections. The handle member has a main body portion and a base end portion extending from both ends thereof in a state of being bent obliquely in the same direction, and each base end portion is the main body portion. In the aspect in which the portion is inclined to the locking projection side when the portion is erected with respect to the container body, By being connected to the handle member mounting projection through a bendable thin-walled connecting piece, the handle member can be turned up and down with respect to the container body, and each of the above groups A locking projection is formed at the end of the locking projection, which is forcibly sunk under the locking projection when the main body is erected with respect to the container body and is locked to the lower surface of the locking projection. The gist of the present invention is an integrally molded container provided with a handle and a lid, which is characterized by being projected.

When this container is used as a portable container for displaying and selling insects, it is preferable to use a lid or a container body having an air circulation hole.

In addition, in order to make it possible to see through the inside of the product when it is displayed in a housed state, the whole structure may be made of transparent or translucent synthetic resin, or it may be colored to improve the design. The synthetic resin may be used.

The locking projection (15) of the handle member (3) sunk below the locking projection (16) of the container body (1). In this state, the retaining member (3) tries to rotate in the fall direction by the restoring elastic force of the connecting pieces (14) (14), but the retaining protrusions (15) ( 15) is the locking protrusion (16) of the container body (1)
The rotation is blocked by contacting the lower surface of (16), and the handle member (3) maintains the upright state. In addition, in the covered state, the fitting edge portion (9) of the lid body (2) is prevented from coming into contact with the locking protrusions (16) (16) of the container body (1).
Notches (9a) (9a) are formed at corresponding positions of the fitting edge (9).

As shown in FIG. 1, the container is in a state in which the plane including the upper end opening surface of the container body (1), the opening surface of the lid body (2) and the handle member (3) is substantially the same surface. It is integrally molded by one molding die.

In use, as shown in FIG. 2, the lid body (2) is covered on the opening surface of the container body (1) and the locking piece (12) of the lid body (2) is attached to the container body (1). After being locked in the locking hole (8a) of the above, the handle member (3) is erected, and its locking projection (15)
The (15) may be locked to the locking projections (16) (16) of the container body (1).

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the portable container for exhibition and sale, which is mainly used for storing insects, has been described as an example, but it may be used for storing confectionery, toys, flower seeds, or the like. Well, in such a case, a lid that does not have an air circulation hole may be used. Further, the specific shape and material of the container body and the like are not limited to those in the above embodiment.

Advantageous Effects of Invention An integrally molded container having a handle and a lid according to the present invention is made of a synthetic resin having a container body, a lid and a handle member as described above, and which are molded in a constant manner. As compared with the case where each component is manufactured by using a separate molding die, the manufacturing cost of the die is low and the assembling work of each component can be unnecessary. Further, the manufacturing efficiency can be remarkably improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Therefore, it can be provided at low cost.

Moreover, since the container body, the lid, and the handle member are supplied in a state of being connected via the thin-walled connecting piece, there is no inconvenience that some components are lost during transportation and storage.

Further, a protrusion for attaching a handle member and a protrusion for engagement are provided on respective opposing opening edges of the container body so as to project outward, and the handle member has a thin-walled shape whose base end portion is bendable. By being connected to the protrusion for mounting the handle member via the connecting piece, the handle member can be rotated up and down with respect to the container body, and the handle member is attached to the base end portion. When the container is raised from the container main body, the locking projection is forcibly sunk under the locking projection to be locked on the lower surface of the locking projection. When not in use, it is convenient to put the handle member in a lying state so that it is not bulky.On the other hand, the handle member is held in an upright state during use, so that it can be easily grasped. It is convenient and convenient.

Further, the protrusions for attaching the handle member and the locking protrusions provided on the container body side are located on both sides of each opening edge of the container body with the middle portion in the longitudinal direction as a boundary, and the handle member attachment The projecting protrusion is provided obliquely below the locking protrusion, and further, the base end portion extending from both ends of the main body portion of the handle member in a state in which the main body portion is bent obliquely in the same direction forms the main body portion in the container. In a mode in which it tilts toward the locking projection side when it is erected with respect to the main body, it is connected to the handle member mounting projections via bendable thin connecting pieces, and the handle member is attached to the base end portion. Since the locking projection is provided so as to be forcibly sunk below the locking projection when it is erected with respect to the container body and locked to the lower surface of the locking projection. , In the use state with the handle member upright,
The load applied to both lower ends of the main body portion is distributed to the handle member mounting projection and the locking projection provided on the container body side through the base end portion and the locking projections provided on the base end portion. Moreover, when a large load is applied to the handle member, the main body part, and thus the base end portions of the handle members extending at both ends thereof, incline toward the inside of the container body, so that the base end portion The projecting locking projections move to the base end side of the locking projections projecting on the container body, so that the engaging force of both locking projections increases more and more. Therefore, even though the handle member is connected to the container body side through the thin connecting piece having poor strength, the load resistance can be further improved.
