JPH07215343A - Ice box - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a handle of a portable ice box such as a cooler for fishing from being caught by something to be entangled or from coming in contact with something to be damaged, and retract the handle neatly. CONSTITUTION:An openable lid 5 is mounted between side wall 3, 3 on both sides of an ice box 1 so that the upside of the lid 5 is almost level with the tops of the side walls 3, 3. A handle 8 is laid between the side walls 3, 3 and hanging arms 8' of the handle 8 are pivoted in recessed parts 7 formed along the outsides of the top rims of the side walls 3, 3 so as to allow them to be freely raised and laid down. When the hanging arms 8' are laid down, the handle 8 is retracted in the recessed part 7 to keep the handle 8 from protruding beyond the upsides of the side walls 3, 3 on both sides and the cover panel 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a fishing cooler and other portable cold storage boxes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a handle for transporting a fishing cooler and other portable cold storage boxes, for example, Jitsukai 62-78117.
It is known to pivotally attach a handle in the form of a handle between the side walls at both ends of the short side of the box body, as seen in Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No.

[0003]

Such a handle is convenient for carrying with one hand, but since the handle and its shaft attachment parts project from the outer surface of the side wall at both ends of the box body, There is a problem that fishing line or the like may be caught on the handle or the shaft attaching portion while the lid is opened, or the protruding portion of the handle may come into contact with another object and be damaged. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cold-insulating box in which such a defect in the handle is improved.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a lid plate is provided between upper parts of side walls at both ends of a short side of a box main body so that its upper surface coincides with upper surfaces of the side walls at both ends. The side wall of the front and rear portions of the long side is openably and closably rotatably attached, and at least one end of the side wall of both ends has a notch recess including a central portion so that at least one end reaches one of the front and rear side walls. The handle-like handle is rotatably and axially attached to the notch recesses in the central portions of the side walls at both ends so that the handle-like handle does not protrude from the notch recess when it falls down. The cutout recess is preferably formed toward the side wall of the long side on the open side of the lid plate including the central portions of the side walls at both ends, but the long side on the lid plate shaft attachment side is preferable. It can also be formed toward the side wall of
In some cases, it may be formed over the entire length of the side walls at both ends.

Further, the handle-like handle may be formed by a hanging rod which is axially attached to the side walls at both ends and a straight handle portion which connects the upper ends thereof, or the handle portion may be formed in an inverted U-shape. Both ends may be integrally bent so as to be orthogonal to the hanging rod so that the handle portion can be stored along the front side wall or the rear side wall when lying down.

[0006]

In the cold-insulating box of the present invention, the hanging rod of the handle-like handle is erected to hold it while carrying it, and when the handle-like handle is stored, the hanging rod is laid down to form a cutout recess. It is placed and housed inside so that the hanging rod and its shaft attachment part do not project from the side walls at both ends of the box body and the upper surface of the cover plate, and the fishing line or the like is entangled, or the handle is attached to another object. Prevents contact and damage.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
The cool box 1 has side walls 2 at the front and rear of the long side and side walls 3 at both ends of the short side.
And a lid plate 5 pivotably attached to a rear side wall 2 of the box body 4. The lid plate 5 in particular has the upper and lower side walls 3 so that the upper surfaces thereof coincide with the upper surfaces of the side walls 3 at both ends. It is formed so that it can be opened / closed and can be attached to the side wall 2 on the front portion with a fastener 6 while being fitted between the three.

However, the notch recess 7 including the central portion is formed at the upper outer edges of the side walls 3 at both ends so that at least one end reaches either one of the front and rear side walls 2. That is, the notch recess 7 can be formed over the entire length of the side walls 3 at both ends, or can be formed so as to reach the rear side wall 2 from a portion of the central part of the side walls 3 at both ends close to the front side wall 2. However, as shown in FIG. 1, it is usually preferable to form the side wall 3 at both ends at the central portion of the rear side wall 2 toward the front side wall 2 which is the open side of the cover plate 5. Further, in the notch concave portion 7 in the central portion of the side wall 3 at both ends,
A handle 8 having a hanging rod 8'and a handle portion 8 "is rotatably pivoted through the hanging rod 8 ', and the hanging rod 8'is inside the cutout recess 7 when lying down. Side wall 3 supported by
It is formed so as not to project from the outer surface of and the upper surface of the cover plate 5.

The handle portion 8 "of the handle 8 may be formed by connecting the ends of the hanging rod 8'in a straight line, but as shown in FIG. It is integrally bent so as to be orthogonal to the tip of the hanging rod 8 ', and the handle portion 8 "bends along the front side wall 2 so that it does not protrude significantly from the front side wall 2 when lying down. It is particularly preferable to position it at and protect the fastener 6.

Therefore, when the cutout recesses 7 are formed along the entire length of the outer edges of the side walls 3 at both ends, the handle 8 can be rotated in the range of 180 degrees above the cover plate 5, and the cutout recesses 7 are formed. When it is formed so as to reach only one side of the front and rear side walls 2, the handle 8 is approximately 90.
It is formed to be rotatable within a range of degrees. In the figure, 9 is a shoulder strap.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, the hanging rod 8'of the handle 8 is erected and the handle portion 8 "is grasped for carrying and carrying. When the handle 8 is stowed, the hanging rod 8'is laid down to form the cutout recess 7
The hanging rod 8'and its shaft-attaching portion are prevented from protruding from the outer surfaces of the side walls 3 on both sides and the upper surface of the cover plate 5 so that the fishing line or the like may be entangled or caught or come into contact with other objects. It can be prevented from being damaged and is also compactly housed in close contact when it is placed on the lid plate 5 during storage or when the side walls 3 at both ends are joined and adjacent to each other. Further, the handle 8 is formed on the open side of the cover plate 5 as shown in FIG.
When it is formed so as to be able to be folded over, the handle 6 can be opened and closed immediately after the handle 8 is stored, and conversely, the handle 8 can be grasped immediately after the handle 6 is opened and closed. The handling operation can be performed more quickly and easily.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention prevents the fishing line and other entanglements, catches, and damage to the handle by placing the handle of the cold storage box on the recess so that the handle does not protrude from the recess when it is stored. In addition to this, it is possible to compactly carry out loading and adjoining storage during storage.

Further, in the present invention, when the notch recess is formed so as to reach the side wall on the open side of the cover plate so that the handle can be stored on the opening / closing side of the cover plate, the handle handle can be stored in the fall position. Alternatively, in the hanging operation, the opening / closing operation of the fastener of the lid plate close to the hanging operation can be immediately and easily performed, and the handling operation is more convenient.
