Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a holder for holding a number of articles such as beer cans.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The inventor of the present invention first holds a plurality of articles such as beer cans collectively and is suitable for carrying and stacking storage (utility model registration No. 3007622).
No.) was devised. This holder is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

In FIGS. 6 and 7, the frame portion 101 of the holder integrally molded from a plastic sheet is
A plurality of article storage units 102 are provided, and a peripheral edge portion 103 is formed by extending the periphery downward, that is, on the side where the can is located, and forms a peripheral edge portion 103. The frame unit 101 connects the article storage units 102 and has a corrugated cross section. The rib portion 104 is formed, and the article storage unit 1 is also provided.
02 has a constricted ring portion (locking portion) 105 for fitting and locking the can 50. In the frame part 101,
Two handle holes 106, which are large enough for the fingers to enter, are provided around the wall 10 toward the side where the can 50 is located.
7 are formed.

To attach the can to this holder, the can is fitted into the constricted ring 105. In this way, a plurality of cans are integrally held by the holder, and this holder with a can has a recess in the bottom of the can of the holder with another can to be placed on the convex shape of the lower holder article storage unit 102. It can be stored in an orderly and compact manner by stacking it according to the portion 102a. To carry the holder with a can, as shown in FIG. 7, put the thumb in one of the handle holes 106 and the other finger in the other and hold and carry it. At this time, the frame portion 101 is configured by the ribs 104 to minimize the weight of the can and the deflection due to the gripping force of the finger.

Among the walls of the handle hole 106, the wall on the center side of the frame portion is further extended downward to make it longer (107).
a) The area of the wall that can be gripped by the finger is increased so that the finger is not damaged when a heavy can is held.

[0006]

However, the holder with a can in the above-mentioned prior art, when carrying this,
If it is grasped too strongly, there is a problem that the deformation of the frame portion 1 becomes large, the cans collide with each other, or the cans easily come off. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a holder that is not easily deformed even when it is firmly gripped and is easy to carry.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the holder of the present invention comprises a frame portion, a plurality of article storage portions, a rib connecting the plurality of article storage portions, and at least two pieces. Two holders integrally formed of plastic, each of which is provided with a handle hole and a peripheral edge of the frame, locks an article in the locking section of the article storage section, and puts a finger in the handle hole to hang the article. The frame portion surrounded by the handle hole and the two article storage portions is recessed in a valley shape to form a recess rib that is in contact with the two handle holes and the two article storage portions. To do.

A wall is provided around the handle hole of this holder,
Alternatively, a wall extending below the peripheral edge of the frame portion may be provided on the side of the handle hole that contacts the recessed rib. Also, there is a locking rib protruding from the wall on the side of the handle hole that contacts the recess rib toward the center of the handle hole, the side of the handle hole that contacts the recess rib is linear, or the side surface of the recess rib that contacts the handle hole. The wall may be a sloped wall that descends from the edge of the handle hole.

[0009]

According to the present invention, when a finger is inserted into the handle hole and is held so as to be sandwiched between the handle holes, the holder to which the article is attached can be easily carried. At this time, even if you firmly grasp the handle hole, the deformation of the holder is small due to the recessed rib that contacts the handle hole,
It does not hinder carrying. The wall around the handle hole improves the feel of the finger when grasped, and if a locking rib protruding from the side wall of the handle hole on which the finger hits is provided, it prevents the finger from slipping. If the side of the recess rib that contacts the handle hole is a slope that descends from the edge of the handle hole, the side wall of the handle hole on which the finger hits and the wall of this slope are slightly deformed when gripped with a finger, making the grip feel softer. Moreover, the rigidity of the locking ribs reduces the deformation of the entire holder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 is a perspective view showing a state where the holder of the embodiment of the present invention holds a can (article), FIG. 2 is a perspective view from the bottom of the holder of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the holder of FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part showing the holder of FIG. 1 held by a handle hole.

In FIG. 1, a frame portion 1 of a holder integrally formed from a plastic sheet is provided with six article storage portions 2, and the outer periphery of the frame portion extends downwardly (on the side having a can described later) so that the frame portion has a peripheral edge. The part 3 is formed. A rib portion 4 having a corrugated cross section is formed in the frame portion 1 in parallel with the peripheral portion 3 of the frame portion to connect between the article storage portions 2.
Further, on the outside of the rib portion 4 in the longitudinal direction of the frame portion 1,
Further, one rib 5 is additionally provided for reinforcement.

A constriction ring portion 6 is provided on the upper outer periphery of the article storage portion 2 so that the can 50 is fitted and locked, and the constriction ring portion 6 has an equal pitch (8 in this embodiment).
A constricted ring reinforcing rib 6a is provided at a position (location) so that the constricted shape will not be collapsed by repeated withdrawal of the can. The constricted ring reinforcing rib 6a is formed by a vertical small cylindrical wall from the upper side to the lower side of the constricted ring, and looks like dots as shown in the figure. A convex portion 2a that is convex upward is formed in the central portion of each article storage unit 2.

Handle holes 7 are provided in two regions of the frame portion 1 surrounded by the article storage portion 2 on all four sides. This handle hole 7 is large enough for a finger to enter,
A wall 8 is formed around the wall 8 toward the lower side (the side where the can 50 is located). The two handle holes 7 have a straight line 9 on the side facing the other party, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the wall of this straight line portion is extended further downward than the peripheral portion 3 to make it long. (8a).

The extended wall 8a is formed as follows. That is, when the holder is formed, the handle hole 7 is formed into a bottomed shape, and the planar shape of the handle hole is provided with a linear portion 9 on the side of the center 1a of the frame portion.
0a is cut, and after molding, the bottom 10 is bent to form a wall 8a extending downward. A locking rib 8b is formed on a wall of the handle hole 7 that is in contact with a recess rib 11 to be described later and projects toward the center of the handle hole.

Two handle holes 7, 7 and 2 in the center of the holder
The frame portion 1 surrounded by the individual article storage portions 2 and 2 is recessed in a valley shape to form a concave rib 11 that is in contact with the two handle holes and the two article storage portions. This hollow rib 1
1, a side wall in contact with the handle hole 7 is a sloping wall 11a that descends from the handle hole edge (straight line portion 9), and a side surface in contact with the article storage unit 2 is a substantially spherical wall 11b. The enclosed bottom surface 11c has an elongated substantially drum shape when viewed in the plan view of FIG.

The holder configured as described above fits six cans by fitting the cans into the constricted ring portion 6 of the article storage unit 2 and holds the cans of another holder on the convex portion 2a of the article storage unit 2. It can be stacked and stored by fitting the recess at the bottom. Also, when carrying the holder,
As shown in FIG. 5, put the thumb in one of the handle holes 7 and the other finger in the other, and grasp the wall on the side of the center 1a (see FIG. 4) of the frame portion 1 with your fingers to hold six cans. You can carry them all at once.

When the handle hole 7 is gripped with a finger, the recess rib 11 between the handle holes 7 and 7 is pressed in its longitudinal direction. But,
Since the whole structure is ribbed between the wall and the bottom, it does not deform much and the holder and can can be lifted almost as they are. Even if you hold it fairly firmly, the holder will not bend or the can will tilt and it will not become unstable. Finger hole 7
As shown in FIG. 5, the wall 8a of the handle hole 7 that extends further downward than the frame peripheral portion 3 bends toward the recessed rib 11, and the locking rib 8b and the wall 8 face the finger surface. So that you can hold it firmly without the slippery feel. If the wall 8a is further bent toward the rib 11 side as if both fingers being gripped are rolled, the feeling of slipping when held is completely eliminated.

When the can is heavy and is firmly gripped, the handle hole 7
The wall 8 of the straight portion 9 of the
The upper part of the sloped wall 11a is bent to improve the cushioning property when grasped, and the finger can be grasped softly without giving a hard resistance feeling. Moreover, since the other portions of the recessed rib 11 are not deformed so much, the sense of stability when held is excellent.
You can store only the holder without attaching the can,
When carrying it, the wall 8a of the handle hole 7 is folded in the state at the time of molding, that is, bent horizontally, and the holders are stacked in the same direction.

Although the above-mentioned embodiment is the case where the article is a can, the holder of the present invention can be used for other articles which can be fitted and held in the constricted ring portion. Also, in the above embodiment,
The number of handle holes is two, but you can carry it more stably if you increase the number of hooks to three or more. In addition, if the handle hole is made large so that two or more fingers can be inserted in one hole, it becomes easy to carry a heavy object.
The shape of the recessed ribs can also be appropriately changed to another shape that is difficult to be deformed when grasping both handle holes. For example,
If a rib connecting the article storage units is further provided at the center of the recess rib, the relative deformation between the two article storage units can be further suppressed.

[0020]

According to the present invention, when a finger is inserted into the handle hole and is held so as to be held, even if the handle hole is firmly gripped, the holder rib is less deformed due to the recessed rib contacting the handle hole,
It does not hinder carrying. If a wall is provided around the handle hole, or if a wall extending below the peripheral edge of the frame is provided on the side contacting the recess rib, the feel of the finger when gripped is improved and it is easier to hold. Providing a locking rib projecting from the side wall of the gripping hole makes it possible to prevent the fingers from slipping and make it easier to carry.

If the portion where the handle hole and the recessed rib are in contact with each other is made linear, the wall of that portion becomes a flat surface, and when firmly gripped, this portion bends to soften the grip feeling, and the wall is also covered with this portion. Only when it sticks out downwards, the wall will bend easily, and you will be able to support it from diagonally below and hold it firmly by rolling your fingers. If the side wall that touches the handle hole of the recessed rib is a sloped wall that goes down from the edge of the handle hole, the side wall of the handle hole on which the finger hits and the wall of this slope are slightly deformed when grasped with your fingers, giving the feel of grasping. Since the holder is soft and the holder is not deformed due to the rigidity of the locking ribs, it is easy to hold and the fingers do not hurt.
