Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a container handle. For more details,
This invention relates to a container handle that can be suitably attached to a large metal container containing beer or the like.

BACKGROUND ART In recent years, containers for storing beverages such as beer have become larger. In particular, beer in the form of barrels is also commercially available for general consumers. However, such a large container is heavy and has a thick body, making it difficult to lift it with one hand and making it inconvenient to handle. For this reason, containers with handles attached to them have been adopted.
For example, some containers are made of synthetic resin and have handles attached to them. Since the container of this product is molded from synthetic resin, the container and the locking part or attachment part for attaching the handle are integrally molded, etc.
Although various attachment methods can be applied, they have the disadvantage that they are inferior to metal containers such as aluminum in terms of protecting and preserving the contents. Therefore, there is a need for an inexpensive handle mechanism that can be easily attached to a metal container. However, in the case of metal containers, due to various container manufacturing conditions (for example, the locking part for attaching the grip cannot be integrally molded, and the grip part must be separately formed and welded or riveted). Manufacturing costs are high;
Moreover, the installation work is complicated. Therefore, the reality is that no one has yet thought of something that is inexpensive, simple, and securely fixed to a container.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides an inexpensive container handle that can be easily attached to a large metal container while being fixed to the handle.

That is, the present invention includes a ring portion that can be fitted onto the container neck, and a presser that is continuous from the lower end of the ring via a thin wall portion and is formed to conform to the shape of the container shoulder and the upper end of the container body. a handle part that is continuous with the presser part, is bent so as to maintain an appropriate distance from the outer circumferential surface of the container body, and has a side wall rising from the side edge of the handle part, and the handle part and a locking part that is continuous with the container bottom plate and can be engaged with a groove on the outer periphery of the container bottom plate, and when the ring part is fitted onto the container neck and the locking part is fitted into the groove of the container, the presser The gist of the container handle is such that the handle is pressed against the container shoulder and the upper end of the container body by the elasticity of the handle itself.

Next, embodiments of the container handle of the present invention will be described based on the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of the container handle of the present invention attached to a container, and FIG. 2 is a schematic vertical sectional view of the container to which the handle of FIG. 1 is attached.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a container made of metal such as aluminum, and 2 is a container handle made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene, which is attached to the container 1. In FIG.

The container 1 has a curled portion 3 having a curled tip;
A neck 4 forming the mouth of the container 1, a shoulder 5 continuous with the neck 4, and a body 6 extending downward from the outer peripheral edge of the shoulder 5.
and a bottom plate 7, the outer peripheral end of the bottom plate 7 is seamed and joined to the lower end of the body 6, thereby forming a seaming part 8.
is formed. Further, an annular groove portion 9 necessary for performing the seaming and joining is formed inside the seaming portion 8. On the other hand, the container handle 2 has an annular convex portion 1 having an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the curl portion 3 of the container 1.
0, and a shoulder portion 5 of the container 1 that is continuous from the lower end of the ring portion 11 via the thin wall portion 12.
and a holding part 13 formed to follow the shape of the upper end of the body 6, and a holding part 13 that is continuous with the holding part 13 and at an appropriate distance from the outer circumferential surface of the body 6 of the container 1 (e.g., an interval where it is easy to pass a hand through). a handle part 14 that is bent outward so as to maintain the grip, and a locking part that is continuous with the handle part 14 and can abut the seam-fastening part 8 at the lower end of the container 1 and engage with the groove part 9 on the outer periphery of the bottom plate 7. It consists of 15.
The holding part 13, the handle part 14 and the locking part 15
has adequate stiffness and some flexibility. Container handle 2 formed in this way
is attached to the container 1 by fitting the ring portion 11 onto the neck portion 4 of the container 1 and fitting the locking portion 15 into the groove of the container 1. then,
As mentioned above, since the bendable thin part 12 is provided between the ring part 11 and the holding part 13,
It becomes easy to fit the locking part 15 into the groove part 9 of the container 1 by utilizing the elasticity of the bent handle part 14. Moreover, the holding part 13 is connected to the shoulder part 5 and body part 6 of the container 1.
Since it is formed to conform to the shape of the upper end, the holding part 13 is pressed so as to tightly contact the upper ends of the shoulder part 5 and the body part 6, so that the handle 2 is held against the container 1. can be fixed as
Therefore, the container 1 equipped with the handle 2 of the present invention
The handle part 14 of the handle 2 has excellent stability and usability when held in the hand.

In order to improve the strength and rigidity of the handle part 14 of the handle 2, a side wall 14a is formed rising from the side edge of the handle part 14. Therefore, the handle portion 14 becomes even easier to grip, and the sense of stability increases.

As mentioned above, the container handle of the present invention has the excellent effect of being able to be easily and firmly attached to a metal container without changing the shape of the container. Yes, and its practical value is extremely large.
