Description

HANDLE FOR SHIPPING BOXES Filed Feb. 12, 1955 7 ,j' y. f
' Inventor in" JiLL W 6' Patented Dec. 3, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to handles and more particularly to a handle especially designed for use with boxes of the type used in packing fruit or the like for shipping.
An object of the present invention is to provide a handle characterized by extreme economy and simplicity in construction, and which may be readily applied to the box. Further, an object of the invention is to provide a handle of resilient material and whose gripping action will increase with the weight of the box.
The invention together with its objects and advantages will be best understood from a study of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view illustrating the application of the invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view.
Figure 3 is a detail view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawing by reference numerals it will be seen that the improved handle comprises a grip 5 in the form of metal tubing of suitable length. Extending through the tubing 5 are parallel portions of wires 6. These portions of the wires 6 are secured within the tube 5 by compressing the ends of the tube about the wires as shown in Figure 3 and indicated at 1.
Each wire 6 has oppositely inclined end portions and corresponding end portions of the wire are disposed in diverging relation as shown in Figure 2. These end portions indicated by the reference numeral Ba terminate in pointed hooks 8 that are adapted to engage and embed themselves in the end Walls 9 of the shipping box H] as best shown in Figure 1.
The end portions 6a; of the wires are also connected together and braced with respect to one another through the medium of wire strands ll 5 that are relatively twisted about one another and have ends coiled about the ends 611 as shown in Figure 2.
In applying the handle to the box It] the hook ends 8 of the prongs 6a. of the handle are engaged 10 with the wall 9 adjacent the top edges thereof. The box is lifted by gripping the hand grip 5, and obviously, the weight of the contents of the box will exert a downward pull that will tend to urge the prongs 6a. of the handle inwardly to more 15 firmly engage the hooks 8 with walls 9. Thus gripping engagement of the handle with the box l0 will increase with the weight of the box with which the handle is engaged.
Having thus described the invention, what is 20 claimed as new is:
A handle comprising a tubular hand grip open at its ends, a pair of wires extending longitudinally through the grip, said grip at each end thereof having opposed portions directed inward- 5 1y toward one another for contracting the grip about said wires, and each wire having each end thereof offset laterally and downwardly and terminating in an inturned pointed prong adapted to penetrate the wood of wooden receptacles, and 30 brace wires connecting corresponding downturned ends of the first named wires.
