Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a handle consisting of a gripping member and dual-supporting stops provided at the upper and lower parts, respectively.

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

In order to eliminate this inconvenience, even if a handle is attached to such a container, if the handle is too large,
When storing containers in cases or cardboard boxes, etc.
It becomes difficult to pack and store them properly.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the cost of the handle is not high compared to the cost of the container, and it is also preferable that the handle is not complicated to operate during installation or use.

The present invention relates to a handle that meets such requirements.

[Prior Art] The inventors of the present invention focused on this problem from an extremely early stage, and as a result of their research, they found that it is easy to install, is not bulky when stored in a case, etc., and is easy to use. Completed a design for a handle that could be used (Utility Application No. 57-436, Utility Model Application No. 58-103728, hereinafter referred to as the "first prior design").

As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, this handle is a handle that is attached to a composite container consisting of a bottle body 1 and an upper member 2 and a lower member 3 that hold the bottle body. Both support stops 4 and 5 (hereinafter referred to as "upper stop" and "lower stop" respectively) provided on the side walls of the member and the lower member respectively, and This gripping member 16 consists of a
The width and thickness of the main body portion is large enough to pass through the upper stop, and the upper end has a width and/or thickness that is equal to the inner width and/or thickness of the upper stop. An upper terminal 17 that is larger and is locked to the upper end of the upper stop is provided at its lower end, which bends inward to pass through the upper stop and the lower stop, and after passing, protrudes to both the left and right sides due to its elasticity. A lower terminal 18 consisting of a pair of hook-shaped portions that is respectively locked to the left and right legs of the lower stopper is provided, and when the upper terminal is locked, the lower terminal 18 is located near the lower end of the upper stopper. It is characterized by being provided with a bendable portion 19.

The upper stop and lower stop mentioned here have a structure in which a U-shaped member is placed horizontally with the open part facing down and attached to a bridge shape, as shown in 4 and 5 in Figure 1. It consists of left and right leg parts 12 and support beams 13 on both sides.

To attach such a handle to a container, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG.
6 into the upper stopper 4 from above with the lower terminal 18 facing down, and then insert the lower terminal 18 into the lower stopper 5.
This is done by inserting it from above.

To use such a handle, as shown in FIG. 10, lift the central part of the grip member 16 and lock the upper terminal 17 and the lower terminal 18 to the upper stopper 4 and the lower stopper 5, respectively. to make the gripping member 16 into the shape of a handle.

In addition, the inventors of the present invention have proposed a handle that can be shaped in advance to make it easier to grip, without requiring the grip to pass through the upper stopper as in the handle of the first prior design. 56-173993, Utility Model No. 58-79531, hereinafter referred to as the "second prior design") was also completed.

The handle related to this invention is shown in Figures 11 to 1.
As shown in Figure 3, the upper stopper 4 and the lower stopper 5
are made of an elastically deformable or plastically deformable material, and both or one end of the corresponding handle member 20 is connected to the locking portion 2.
1 and a fitting part 22 provided adjacent thereto, the locking part 21 has a chevron-shaped cross-section, and the circumference of the cross-section of the root is equal to the inner circumference of the double-supporting stop to which the end is attached. equal to or slightly shorter than the length,
The height of the cross section of the fitting part 22 is lower than the height of the cross section of the root of the locking part 21, and the shape of the cross section is almost equal to the shape of the inner side of the upper stopper or lower stopper with which the fitting part is fitted. It is characterized by this.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the handle according to the first prior invention as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the grip member 15 is not necessarily fixed to the shape of the handle, and
The part you hold in your hand feels flat, and it doesn't necessarily feel good when you hold it in your hand.

Further, in the handle according to the second prior invention as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the upper stop can be fixed by pushing the locking part 21 of the gripping member into the corresponding upper stop 4 or lower stop 5. 4 or the lower stopper 5 is deformed to the same shape as the outer shape of the locking part 21 so that the upper stopper 4 or the lower stopper 5 can pass through the locking part 21. Although it is intended to provide strength, it cannot be made thick enough to prevent deformation, and in order to insert the locking part 21, a large force is required to deform the upper stopper 4 and the lower stopper 5. Furthermore, if the locking portion 21 is made slightly smaller to make it easier to pass through the upper stopper 4 or the lower stopper 5, there is a problem that the locking portion 21 will easily come off.

[Means for solving problems]

The inventors of the present invention initially thought that when storing the composite container equipped with the handle of the second prior design in a cardboard box, etc., the handle could not be stored in the partition frame that fits the container body. We decided to use a handle that had been previously devised.

However, when storing the composite container equipped with the handle of the first prior design in a cardboard box, etc.
As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 9, even when the gripping member 16 is extended vertically along the side surface of the container body,
Upper stopper 4, lower stopper 5, upper terminal 17, and
Since the lower terminal 18 protrudes from the outermost circumference of the container body, it was necessary to store the container so that the handle was positioned at one of the four corners of the partition frame.

Therefore, as a result of considering various handles within the range of sizes that can be stored in the corners of the square partition frame circumscribing the outermost circle of the container body excluding the upper stopper, lower stopper, and gripping member, we found that the handles shown in Fig. 6 As shown in FIG. 7, the outer diameter of the fitting portion of the upper member 2 and lower member 3 with the bottle body 1 is equal to the outer diameter of the bottle body 1 by the thickness of that portion of the upper member or the lower member. In particular, the part where the upper stopper 4 or the lower stopper 5 is provided has a hoop-like thickness to obtain the necessary strength when holding the container with the handle. The outer diameter of the hoop-shaped part is considerably larger than the outer diameter of the bottle body, so if the capacity is 2 or more, the following handle-like shape according to the present invention can be used. Therefore, even if the size is within the range that can be stored in the corner of the square partition frame circumscribing the outermost circle of the container body as described above, it is necessary to insert your finger between the bottle body and the gripping member to You can hold it in your hand,
It has been found that it functions as a handle and can solve the problems mentioned above.

The handle according to the present invention consists of a bottle body and an upper member and a lower member that hold the bottle body.
A handle to be attached to the above composite container, which is connected to a gripping member and a double-supporting stopper (hereinafter referred to as an "upper stopper" and a "lower stopper" respectively) provided on the side walls of the upper and lower members, respectively. By bending inward, the gripping member passes through the upper stopper from below, and after passing through, due to its elasticity, the gripping member protrudes to the left and right sides of the upper stopper and locks onto the left and right legs of the upper stopper from above, respectively. The upper terminal consists of a pair of hook-shaped parts that bend inward to pass through the lower stopper from above, and after passing through, the terminal elastically protrudes to the left and right sides of the lower stopper, respectively, and the left and right legs of the lower stopper. and a lower terminal consisting of a pair of hook-shaped parts that are respectively locked from below, and at a position directly below and near the upper stopper when the upper terminal is locked to the upper stopper, and in a direction away from the container. The upper end of the upper terminal is bent downward to form a shoulder, and the tip of the shoulder is bent downward to form a gripping part. In order to allow the gripping member to be inserted into the lower stopper until the lower end is reached, the lower part of the gripping part is provided with a part that can pass through the lower stopper, and the upper stopper, the lower stopper and the gripping member are removed. A composite container characterized in that, when the container is stored in a square frame circumscribing the outermost circle of the composite container body, a gripping member attached to the container is sized to be stored in one of the four corners of the square frame. It is a handle for use.

[Effect]

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

Since the upper terminal is inserted from below the upper stopper and the lower terminal is inserted from above the lower stopper, it is possible to shape the gripping part of the gripping member in advance into an easy-to-grip shape. can.

A pair of upper terminals that pass through the upper stopper from below by bending inward, and after passing through, project to the left and right sides of the upper stopper due to elasticity and are respectively locked from above to the left and right legs of the upper stopper. Since the upper terminal has a hook-shaped portion, the upper terminal can be easily inserted into the upper stopper and can be locked so that it cannot be easily removed.

A pair of lower terminals that pass through the lower stopper from above by bending inward, and after passing through, protrude to the left and right sides of the lower stopper due to elasticity and are respectively locked from below to the left and right legs of the lower stopper. The lower terminal can be easily inserted into the lower stopper and can sufficiently support the weight of the container.

The gripping member is bent in the direction away from the container to form a shoulder at a position directly below the upper stopper when the upper terminal is locked to the upper stopper, so the upper surface of the shoulder is Place it on the bottom edge of the upper stopper,
Can sufficiently support the weight of the container.

When the size of the gripping member is such that when the container equipped with the gripping member is stored in a box etc. having a square frame circumscribing the outermost circle of the composite container body excluding the upper stopper, lower stopper and gripping member, Since the attached gripping member is large enough to be stored in one of the four corners, it can be easily stored in a cardboard box or the like.

When attaching the gripping member, hold the gripping part of the gripping member, insert the lower terminal into the lower stopper, and then place the side of your index finger on the underside of the shoulder of the gripping member.
Since sufficient upward pushing force can be applied while visually observing, the gripping member can be attached extremely easily and reliably.

When the lower terminal is completely locked into the lower stopper, and when the upper terminal protrudes from the upper end of the upper stopper,
When the lower terminal is completely locked, it may be done at the same time or at a slightly different time, but immediately after the lower terminal is completely locked with the lower stopper, the curved part of the grip part is pulled slightly. If the hook-shaped part of the upper terminal is completely locked with the upper stopper in the attached state, the restoring force of the curved part of the gripping part will cause the gripping member to be attached tightly and prevent wobbling. disappears.
