Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a container gripping tool, and more specifically, to a container gripping tool that is convenient for attaching to, for example, a mini keg and pouring draft beer.

Small kegs are now available on the market so that you can enjoy draft beer at home in a pier hall atmosphere.

Although it is small, the long diameter of the keg is much larger than the diameter of a bottle for Rigger beer, and when it cools down, condensation forms on the surface, making it impossible to handle it with one hand.Also, it absorbs a lot of heat, so the hand that holds it gets cold. Therefore, there are stands that allow pouring without touching the barrel, and grips that can be attached to the upper and lower ends of the barrel by locking them with hooks.

However, in the former case, the installation location is specified, and in the latter case, the components of the barrel differ depending on the manufacturer, such as thin iron plate, aluminum, or resin. Similar to the above, there are some that have a flange formed on them, and others that have no tsuba at all due to the aperture or the shape of the flange, which has the disadvantage of lacking in versatility.

This invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its first feature is that both ends of a metal or hard plastic strip are bent in the same direction, and the bent portion is The grip mounting portion is provided with a body wrap member which is curved between the bent portions and into an annular shape when the two mounting portions are brought into contact with each other, and a locking pin is attached to each of the grip mounting portions and a locking pin on one of the opposing surfaces. and a grip with a locking hole formed on the other side, and the grip is attached by tightening the circumference of the container with the body wrapping member.

The second feature of this invention is that the body wrap member is divided into two parts in the axial direction, and a removable engaging part is formed in the vicinity of this bisecting point. The object of the present invention is to provide a container gripping tool in which a separately wound member is formed into a substantially annular shape so as to be able to interchangeably tighten around containers having different diameters.

This invention will be described in detail below with reference to an example shown in the figure.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the container gripping tool 10 of this invention has a length equal to the circumference of the container to be gripped plus twice the length of the grip attachment part described later. Bend the inner sides of the metal or hard plastic strip member 1 by the length of the grip attachment portions in the same direction at approximately right angles so that the grip attachment portions 2 a and 2 b and the bent portions form an annular shape. The grip attachment portions 2 a and 2 b are slightly curved inward, and this attachment portion has a wooden cylindrical shape slightly longer than twice the width of the strip member 1 . The member is divided into two to form grips 4a and 4b having a semicircular arc cross section, and a recess 6a that is slightly thicker depending on the width and thickness of the belt-like member is formed on the split surface on the inner side from one end by the width of the belt-like member. , 6b is formed on one side from the center, and the grip attachment portion 2 a ,
Attach the end of 2b with an appropriate adhesive and attachment means such as screws 7a to 7d, and attach a retaining pin 8a to one grip 4a.
8b to attach this pin to the other grip 4b, the tip of the locking pin can be inserted into the part facing the locking hole 9a.
, 9b.

The container gripper of this invention is constructed as described above and has a gripper 5 as an accessory, and an example of its use will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 1, the grips 4a and 4b are released from the locking state by the locking pins, and the grip mounting portion 2a is removed.

Expand the body part 3 by separating the parts 2b from each other, insert the container (container for holding draft beer) a into this body part, align the split surfaces of the grits 4a and 4b again, and insert the retaining pins 8a and 8b into the locking holes 9a and 2b. 9b and lock it.

If necessary, the gripping tool 5 obtained by folding the band-like member shown in FIG.
By attaching the grips 4 a and 4 b so as to sandwich them, the grips 4 a and 4 b may be prevented from being disengaged due to the elastic force applied based on the shapes of the body wrap and the grip attachment portion.

If you hold the grips 4a and 4b when pouring the contents from container a into a cup or the like, your hands will not slip or get cold.

Next, a second embodiment of this invention will be described below.

Barrel containers with different diameters for 1 l, 21, and 31 are commercially available, and barrels of three different sizes may be prepared, but the modified example shown in Fig. 6 Divide the trunk part 3 into two as shown in the figure below, provide hooks 3a and 3b on one side near the bisecting points PI and P2, and make holes 30 to 3e into which the hooks are engaged on the other side according to the circumference of the barrel. By leaving several holes spaced apart by a difference of It is possible to use only 11 gripping tools, and it is also convenient for storage since it does not take up much space if it is folded up and placed as shown in FIG. 7C.

The hooks 3a, 3b and the locking holes 3C to 3e constitute a locking portion A, and the band-shaped members 1, 1 divided into two as described above.
This is to connect them at the required points.

As mentioned above, the first feature of this invention is that both ends of a metal or hard plastic band member are bent in the same direction, and a grip attachment part is provided at the bent part. A torso wrapper member is curved to form an annular shape when the mounting portion and both mounting portions are brought into contact with each other, and the grip mounting portion is attached to each portion and has a locking pin on one of the opposing surfaces and a locking hole on the other side. Since the container is attached by tightening the circumference of the container with the body wrapping member, it can be adapted to any of the multiple shapes of home draft beer containers on the market, and there is no risk of it coming off during use. It has advantages such as being able to withstand repeated use, eliminating the need to hold a cold container directly, and being easy to install.

The second effect is that the body wrap member is divided into two parts in the axial direction, and a plurality of removable engaging parts are formed near the bisecting points. Since the gripper is approximately annular and configured to tighten around containers of different diameters with good compatibility, a single gripper can be adapted to grip containers with different diameters, and it can be removed when storing. Since it can be folded, it has the advantage of not being bulky.
