Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a handle for a composite container consisting of two or three beer container-like bottle bodies and an upper member and a lower member that hold them together. .

In recent years, beer in a variety of containers of two or three medium capacities has become commercially available. However, all of these are designed to be held with both hands when pouring into a bottle or glass, which is extremely inconvenient compared to conventional bottles that can be poured with one hand.

In order to eliminate this inconvenience, it is possible to attach a handle to such a composite container, but attaching a handle to the bottle body is undesirable from a structural standpoint in order to maintain the strength of the bottle body. , even if you attach a handle that straddles the upper and lower members,
Since the upper member is attached after filling the bottle body, which is fixed on the lower member, with beer or other contents, it is not possible to attach the handle in advance, so the bottle body is filled with the contents and the upper member is attached. There is a restriction that it must be installed later.

Furthermore, when storing such a container in a case or a cardboard box, if the handle is too large, it will be difficult to tightly pack and store the container. Therefore, it is preferable that the container be in close contact with the side surface of the container or in a state parallel to the side surface of the container until it is used as a handle, and that it can be gripped by hand when used as a handle.

Moreover, it is preferable that the structure is as simple as possible, that the materials used are small, that the cost of the handle is not so high compared to the cost of the container, and that the handle is easy to operate both when installing and using the handle. It is preferable that

[Prior Art] In the past, various handles have been devised and used for various cases for storing tableware such as pots, medicine cans, water bottles, and coffee cups, various types of bags such as golf bags, and electrical appliances. ing. However, these handles could not satisfy the above conditions as they were, and they were soon used for composite containers consisting of two or three beer containers, such as a bottle body, and an upper member and a lower member that hold the bottle bodies. Can not do it.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 50-57874 discloses a can characterized by having a band of an appropriate width attached to the side surface of the can so as to be able to bulge out.
Various examples have been described in which the gripping portion is in close contact with the side surface of the can until the handle is used, and when used as a handle, the band can be held away from the side surface of the can. These examples include one in which the upper and lower ends of a band longer than the length of the side of the can are fixed, and the band is folded until it is used as a handle, and the upper end of the band is fixed to the upper part of the can, and the lower end is The side of the can is fixed to a ring-shaped body that can be slid up and down,
When the band is separated from the side of the can and used as a handle, a stopper is used to stop the rising of the ring-shaped body, and a stopper is used to fix the upper end of the band to the upper part of the can, and a stopper is provided at both ends of the side of the can. One example is one in which the lower part of the band is passed through the tool, and a locking part is provided at the lower end, so that when the band is separated from the side of the can and used as a handle, the locking part is locked to the both-side stopper. It is being However, such a handle cannot be attached as it is to straddle the upper and lower members after the bottle body fixed on the lower member is filled with beer or the like and the upper member is attached.

In addition, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-123932, a pair of locking wings are formed in advance at a certain angle on the end of the gripping member, and a narrow groove is provided in the appropriate position of the locking wings, so that the handle can be inserted. When passing through the through hole, the angle of this locking blade is narrowed, and after passing through this hole, the angle of this locking blade returns to almost the shape at the time of molding, so that
A handle adapted to be locked is disclosed, and examples thereof include a handle in which a thin groove is provided at the tip of the end portion where the locking wing is provided, and a handle that is provided with a narrow groove at the tip of the end where the locking wing is provided, and a handle that is provided with a narrow groove at the tip of the end where the locking wing is provided, and It is described that there are thin grooves on the surface. However, with such a locking blade, the force applied to the tip of the locking blade becomes a large force at the root of the locking blade due to a lever action, so
In addition, since the locking blade is provided with narrow grooves,
Structurally, it is difficult to support large objects, and if you try to lift objects of about 2 to 3 kg using these type of anchoring wings, you will need to make them quite large. It cannot be used for containers, etc.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The problem that this invention aims to solve is that it is used as a handle for a composite container consisting of a bottle body, an upper member and a lower member that hold the bottle body, and a handle for holding beer, etc. in a bottle body fixed on the lower member. After filling the contents and installing the upper part,
It must be easy to install, be relatively small, and be able to support a considerable amount of weight.

Until it is used as a handle, it must be in close contact with or parallel to the side of the container and can be easily stored in a cardboard box, etc. When used as a handle, it must be easily accessible by hand. The container must be able to be held in a grippable condition, maintain that condition, and be convenient to use; The structure must be as simple as possible; the amount of materials used must be as low as possible; and the cost of the handle must not be much higher than the cost of the container.

The goal is to meet the following conditions.

[Means for solving problems]

As a means to solve this problem, the present invention provides a handle that is attached to the side walls of the upper and lower members as a handle attached to a composite container consisting of a bottle body and an upper member and a lower member that sandwich the bottle body. It consists of two side-holding stops (hereinafter referred to as "upper stopper" and "lower stopper" respectively), and a gripping member that is locked to these two-handling stoppers. The width and thickness of the main body portion are large enough to pass through the upper stopper, and the upper end has a width and/or thickness larger than the inner width and/or thickness of the upper stopper. A large upper terminal is provided which is locked to the upper end of the upper stop, and the lower end of the upper terminal is provided with a terminal that passes through the upper stop and the lower stop and projects to the left and right sides, respectively, to the left and right legs of the lower stop. A lower terminal consisting of a pair of hook-shaped parts that are locked is provided, and a hinge part is further provided in the vicinity of the lower end of the upper stopper when the upper terminal is locked. The present invention provides a handle for a composite container having a characteristic feature.

The composite container referred to here refers to a container consisting of a bottle body and an upper member and a lower member that sandwich the bottle body, and is generally made of a biaxially stretched plastic bottle body with a spherical bottom. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Beer containers are well known which consist of a lower member for vertical stability and an upper member provided on top of the bottle body to allow the containers to be stacked.

A double-supported fixture is a fixture in which a double-supported beam is installed on a pair of pillars. Generally, the fixture itself is U-shaped, and is attached to the upper or lower member. In this state, approximately rectangular holes are formed between these members and the supporting beams and between the legs.

After filling the bottle body fixed to the lower member with contents and attaching the upper member, the gripping member is used to hold the bottle from above.
It can be attached by inserting the upper stopper and the lower stopper, and the width and thickness of the main body part is large enough to pass through the upper stopper, and the upper end has a mark of the width and thickness. An upper terminal is provided at the upper end of the upper stop, each of which is larger than both or one of the inner width and thickness of the upper stop; A lower terminal is provided, which is formed of a pair of hook-shaped parts that penetrate through the lower stopper and protrude on both the left and right sides and are respectively latched to the left and right legs of the lower stopper.

This upper terminal prevents the gripping member from slipping downward from the upper stopper, and the lower terminal locks on the lower stopper and supports the container when the container is lifted by holding the gripping member. be.

In addition, the hinge portion provided on the gripping member is generally a portion where the thickness of the gripping member is partially thinned over the entire width, and since that portion is thinner, other parts may not be used. When a force is applied to the gripping member, that portion curves and the gripping member is deformed.

Since such a hinge part is provided near the position directly below the lower end of the upper stopper when the upper terminal is locked to the upper stopper, the lower part of the hinge part of the gripping member can be pulled outward and the upper When the terminal is locked and the gripping member is gripped by hand, the gripping member bends at the hinge portion, and the portion of the gripping member that protrudes outward and laterally from the hinge portion hits the lower end of the upper stopper. The container can also be supported by the utensils.

[Effect]

Since the handle for a composite container according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, specifically, it has the following effects.

The lower terminal of the gripping member passes through the upper stopper and the lower stopper, the main body portion passes through the upper member, and the upper terminal is locked onto the upper member, so that the contents are poured into the bottle body fixed to the lower member. When filling, installing the upper member, and installing the gripping member, the gripping member passes through the upper stop and the lower stop from above.

When the upper terminal is locked and the gripping member is grasped by hand, a portion of the gripping member projecting laterally outward from the hinge portion hits the lower end of the upper stopper and supports the container through the upper stopper.

The left and right hook-shaped parts protruding on both sides of the lower terminal are
The bases of the hooks are directly engaged with the left and right legs of the lower stopper, and the container is supported through the lower stopper.

The gripping member when attached is in the form of a single plate, does not take up much space in close proximity to the side of the container, and fits into the spaces at the four corners when packed in a cardboard box or the like.

The gripping member is provided with a hinge portion near the position directly below the lower end of the upper stopper when the upper terminal is locked to the upper stopper.When using the handle, the hinge portion of the gripping member When you pull the bottom part outward, it forms a part to hold in your hand, and it maintains its shape more or less even after you release your hand.
