Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a support structure for a U-shaped handle attached to a bag or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a U-shaped handle attached to an attache case, a travel bag or the like is supported by a support fitting fixed to the upper surface of the bag.

[0003]

By the way, since the above-mentioned U-shaped handle is supported rotatably around an axis provided on the support fitting, the handle will fall down when the handle is released. Therefore, when carrying the bag next time, it is necessary to hold the bag while raising the handle, and especially when carrying the bag with other luggage, it is troublesome to raise the handle.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a handle support structure capable of holding the handle in an upright state.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a fixed support piece having a seat plate attached to an article and a movable support provided movably with respect to the fixed support piece. A support piece, a spring for pressing the movable support piece toward the fixed support piece, a guide shaft having one end supported by the fixed support piece and the other end slidably inserted in the movable support piece, An end located between the support pieces is composed of a U-shaped handle rotatably provided around the guide shaft, and the surfaces of the handle and the movable support piece face each other and the handle and the fixed support piece face each other. The structure is such that the engaging recess is formed on one side, and the engaging protrusion that engages with the engaging recess when the handle is raised is provided on the other side.

Here, the above-mentioned articles refer to bags, furniture, doors and the like.

[0007]

In the support structure having the above structure, when the handle is positioned in the upright state, the engaging recesses and the engaging ridges provided on the facing surfaces of the movable support piece and the handle and on the facing surfaces of the handle and the fixed support piece. Engage. At this time, the movable support piece is pressed against the handle by the spring that presses the movable support piece toward the fixed support piece, and the handle is also pressed against the fixed support piece. Are held upright.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the handle support structure according to the present invention comprises a U-shaped handle 1 and a pair of support members 10 for rotatably supporting the handle 1.

The support 10 has a fixed support piece 11 and a movable support piece 12, and a seat plate 13 is provided below the fixed support piece 11, and the seat plate 13 is attached to the bag A by tightening screws 14. Fixed against.

A guide portion 15 having a T-shaped cross section is formed at an end of the seat plate 13, and the movable support piece 12 is movably supported by the guide portion 15 with respect to the fixed support piece 11. Reference numeral 16 denotes a guide hole formed in the lower end portion of the movable support piece 12, which is engaged with the guide portion 15.

One end of a guide shaft 17 is fixed to the upper portion of the fixed support piece 11. The guide shaft 17 extends long toward the movable support piece 12, and the other end is movable support piece 1.
It is inserted from the hole 18 formed in 2 into the recess 19 provided coaxially with the hole 18.

A flange 20 is provided at the other end of the guide shaft 17 located in the recess 19, and a spring 22 incorporated between the flange 20 and the bottom surface 21 of the recess 19 fixes the movable support piece 12. It is pressed toward the support piece 11.

The handle 1 is U-shaped and has a pair of legs 3a and 3b provided at both ends of the handhold portion 2.
A and 3b are rotatably supported between the movable support piece 12 and the fixed support piece 11 about the guide shaft 17. At this time, the facing surfaces of the movable support piece 12 and the fixed support piece 11 that face the inner and outer surfaces of the legs 3a and 3b are in a pressure contact state by the spring 22.

Two engaging protrusions 4a, 4b are provided on the inner and outer surfaces of each leg 3a, 3b at intervals of 180 ° about the guide shaft 17.

On the other hand, on the respective surfaces of the movable support piece 12 and the fixed support piece 11 which are in pressure contact with the inner and outer surfaces of the legs 3a, 3b, the engaging recesses 23 with which the engaging projections 4a, 4b engage.
a and 23b are provided at four positions at intervals of 90 °.

The engagement recesses 23a and 23b are provided with the engagement projections 4a when the handle 1 is in an upright state and a fallen state.
It is provided at a position where it engages with 4b.

As in the embodiment, in the handle 1 in which the engaging protrusions 4a and 4b are provided on the inner and outer surfaces of the legs 3a and 3b, the pair of supporting members 10 are attached in the same direction as shown in FIG. . The protrusions 4 a and 4 b may be provided only on the pressure contact surface with the movable support piece 12. In this case, the pair of support tools 10
Can be installed symmetrically.

In the support structure of the handle having the above structure, when the handle 1 is rotated from the tilted state to the upright state, the engaging projections 4a of the legs 3a and 3b, as shown in FIG.
4b comes out from the engaging recesses 23a and 23b provided in the fixed support piece 11 and the rotary support piece 12. At this time, the rotation support piece 12 moves against the elasticity of the spring 22.

Further, when the handle 1 is rotated, each leg 3
The protrusions 4a and 4b provided on a and 3b engage with the engagement recesses 23a and 23b provided on the fixed and movable support pieces 11 and 12, respectively. At this time, in each engaging portion, the pressed state is held by the elasticity of the spring 22, so that the handle 11 is held in the upright state.

As described above, even if the handle 1 is released, the engagement state is maintained by the pressing force of the spring 22.
Will never fall. Further, since the handle 1 can be held even when the handle 1 is tilted, it does not become an obstacle during transportation of the bag at an airport or the like, and there is no fear of damage.

In the case of the embodiment, the engaging projection 4 is provided on the handle 1.
The protrusions 4a and 4b are provided on the movable support piece 12 and the fixed support piece 11, and the engagement recess 23
The a and 23b may be provided on the handle 1.

Further, two protrusions 4a and 4b are provided on each surface, and recesses 23a and 23b are provided to engage the protrusions 4a and 4b.
Although the fixed and movable support pieces 11 and 12 are provided at four places on each surface, the projections on each surface may be provided at one place and two recesses for engaging the projections may be provided. Good.

Further, in the embodiment, the handle attached to the bag is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the handle can be used for furniture, doors and the like.

[0024]

As described above, in the handle support structure according to the present invention, the support tool for rotatably supporting the handle is formed of the movable support piece and the fixed support piece, and the facing surface of the handle and the movable support piece is formed. , The engaging recess is formed in one of the facing surfaces of the handle and the fixed support piece, and the other is provided with an engaging projection that engages with the engaging recess when the handle is raised, and the movable support piece is always fixed. Since the spring for pressing the support piece is provided, the engagement state is maintained by the pressing force of the spring at the time of engagement.

Therefore, the handle can be held upright, and even when the bag is held again, the handle can be smoothly reached.
