Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an independent handling grip for cooperating with at least one gripping component, such as a tie, a strap, a handle, a band for encircling an object or a portion of the actual object.
  • a gripping component such as a tie, a strap, a handle, a band for encircling an object or a portion of the actual object.
  • Such a grip is intended for facilitating transport and limiting fatigue as well as pain due to the fact of carrying several bags.
  • the grip has a cylindrical section and is provided with a passage for inserting any type of product provided with a transport strap or a plastic band acting as a strap, therein.
  • the object of the present invention is to specifically find a remedy to this drawback by providing a grip allowing for a large range of thicknesses of a tie, strap or handle of an object to be carried, or even of a portion of this same object, and this without increasing the dimensions of the space reserved for the grip.
  • the invention relates to an independent handling grip for cooperating with at least one gripping component such as a tie, a strap, a handle, an encircling band of an object or of a portion of the actual object, characterized in that it consists of a cylindrical body closed on itself in a same plane and elastically deformable, on either side of the latter, in order to define a clear opening for the hand of an user, while creating between its two end areas facing each other, a reserved space of variable dimension “e”, in order to allow, either the introduction of the gripping component of the object to be carried into said grip, without any deformation of the latter, if it has a thickness compatible with “e”, that of the reserved space, or the introduction of a gripping component with a larger thickness than “e” of said reserved space, by elastically deforming said grip on either side of its plane and by exerting a torsion of the latter to cause a shift of said end areas defining the space.
  • a gripping component such as a tie, a strap, a handle,
  • the present invention also relates to features, which will become apparent during the description which follows, and which should either be considered individually or according to all their possible technical combinations.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a plane view of a handling grip according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a side view according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a top view according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a plane view of a handling grip according to one alternative embodiment.
  • FIG. 5 is a side view according to FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a top view according to FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 7 is a transverse sectional view along the VII-VII line of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 8 is a sectional view along the VIII-VIII line of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 9 is a side view according to FIG. 8, and FIG. 10 is a top view according to FIG. 8.
  • FIG. 11 is a plane view of a grip according to FIG. 4, into which handles of bags have been inserted, which have a thickness not larger than the space reserved for the grip,
  • FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a grip according to FIG. 1, elastically deformed in order to allow the passage of a strap or an object with a larger dimension than the reserved space.
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 illustrate the gripping of an object, the straps of which are of larger dimensions than the reserved space, during insertion of the grip and after insertion of the latter respectively.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 illustrate according to another example of application, the gripping of an object, the straps of which are of larger dimensions than the reserved space, during insertion of the grip and after insertion of the latter respectively.
  • FIG. 17 illustrates an example of application of several grips according to the invention, suitable for conveying, in a car boot via an elastic wire positioned between both side walls of the latter.
  • the independent handling grip globally designated by 1 on all the FIGS. 1 - 12 consists of a cylindrical body 2 closed on itself in a same plane P and elastically deformable, on either side of the latter, in order to define a clear opening 3 for the hand 4 of a user, while creating between its two end areas 8 and 9 , facing each other, a reserved space 5 , of variable dimension “e”, this in order to allow either the introduction of the gripping component 6 , 6 A, 6 B of object 7 , 7 A to be carried into said grip 1 , 1 A, without any deformation of the latter, if it has a thickness compatible with, that of the reserved space 5 , or the introduction of a gripping component 6 with a larger thickness than “e”, that of said reserved space 5 , by elastically deforming said grip 1 , 1 A on either side of its plane P and exerting torsion TT′ on the latter in order to cause a shift of said end areas 8 , 9 defining the space 5 .
  • the cylindrical body 2 may be solid and obtained by molding an elastically deformable material.
  • the cylindrical body 2 is hollow, and consists of two symmetrical shells 2 A, 2 B, joined together by their joint plane P and simultaneously deforming elastically.
  • the shells 2 A, 2 B forming the cylindrical body 2 are centered with respect to each other, by a lip 10 made over the entire periphery of the joint plane P of one shell, 2 A, cooperating with a matching groove 11 of the other one 2 B by interlocking.
  • shells 2 A, 2 B forming the cylindrical body 2 are positively joined together via a plurality of elastically deformable hooks 12 , 13 , made two by two, so as to face each other, in a head to tail configuration, within each of the shells 2 A, 2 B at different positions of the latter, so as to cooperate with each other by elastic locking upon assembly, making said shells indissociable.
  • FIG. 10 there are six hooks 12 and 13 .
  • each of the internal hooks 12 forms at its end a beaklike projection 14 having a sliding ramp 16 able to cooperate, upon assembly, with the ramp 17 of the beaklike projection 15 of a facing hook 13 , in order to have them move away from each other during assembly and engage with each other when the joint planes P of shells 2 A, 2 B come into contact with each another.
  • each of the shells 2 A, 2 B includes internal centering means, formed on the one hand, by a plurality of pins 18 made on one of the shells 2 A, facing a matching number of barrels (not shown) made on the other shell 2 B.
  • the pins 18 are four in number, and of course, they match a matching number of barrels.
  • the reinforcing crossbars 19 are seven in number.
  • the centering lips and grooves 10 , 11 , the assembly hooks 12 , 13 , the centering pins and barrels 18 , as well as the reinforcing crossbars 19 are obtained during a same molding operation for each respective shell 2 A, 2 B.
  • the grip 1 on the internal side of a right portion including the space 5 reserved for introducing the gripping components 6 , 6 A, 6 B includes ergonomic imprints 20 for four of a user's fingers, i.e. the forefinger, the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger, the thumb being located above when said right portion is accommodated in the palm of the hand of said user.
  • it includes on the internal side of a right portion parallel to that including the reserved space 5 , rough features 21 having an anti-skid function when the grip component 6 , 6 A, 6 B of one or more objects 7 , 7 A are introduced into the grip 1 , 1 A and when they are conveyed.
  • the shells 2 A, 2 B once assembled, globally have the configuration of an isosceles trapezium for which the ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 angles of the large base B are truncated, one of these truncated angles from one of the shells 2 A extending with a lug 22 formed by two plane walls 24 , 25 , defining a housing 23 for introducing a cart token or a wire connecting several grips with each other.
  • both shells 2 A, 2 B may be prevented by means of centering pins 18 , from sliding one over the other as soon as there is a certain weight.
  • the tests have demonstrated that the hooks 12 , 13 made so as to face each other on the shells 2 A, 2 B, enable the latter to remain interdependent up to a load of more than 50 kg.
  • the grips 1 A provided with a lug 22 and therefore with a housing 23 allow the passage of an elastic wire 28 , positioned on either side of an automobile vehicle boot, via two supports 26 and 27 .
  • the grips 1 A may thereby receive the gripping components 6 , for example of the plastic bags filled with miscellaneous objects, this providing the advantage of limiting the movements of the latter when conveyed in an automobile vehicle, and thus preventing them from spreading about in the boot.
