1 Claim.
This invention relates to containers with detachable handles and particularly to containers for storage batteries. It is an object of the invention to provide a container with handles so constructed that the handles may be attache-d without the use of screws or any other fastening means for ordinary handling.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the follow- I Figs. 3 and 4 are sectional views showing the manner of attaching the handle.
The end wall I is provided with arectangular lug II extending from the top surface thereof and with a recess I2 defined by a vertical surface I3 and by a surface I4 slightly inclined from the horizontal. Numeral I5 designates in its entirety a handle formed of sheet metal and comprising a flat plate I 6 having at its lower end a flange I'I adapted to be received by the recess I2 and having a flange I8 provided with a rectangular opening I9 slightly larger than the rectangular lug II. The metal for the flange I8 is provided by shearing and bending a portion of the plate I6 away from the plane thereof, thus leaving an opening 20 through which a hand may extend so as to engage a grip portion ll of C-shaped cross sectional contour as viewed in Figs. 3 and 4. The portion 22 of handle 2| has been formed of material of the plate I6 by shearing and bending it, thus providing for a portion of the opening 20.
The handle is applied to the end wall III by placing the flange I8 around the lug II as shown in Fig. 3. Then the plate It is forced toward the end wall to cause the flange IT to enter the recess I! as shown in Fig. 4. When the plate I 6 has been forced into the position shown in Fig. 4, the flange I! will have been forced into bending engagement with the surface I4 of recess I2, thus locking the handle l5 on the end wall III with yielding pressure. The binding engagement of the handle I5 upon the end wall I0 provided by the coaction of flanges I! and I8 is sufiicient to prevent accidental movement of the handle from the position shown in Fig. 4 to that shown in Fig. 3. The handle I5 can be removed by prying the plate I6 away from the box ID. The other end wall (not shown) of the box is formed like wall ID to provide a lug II and a recess I2 for receiving a handle I5.
Ordinarily the battery is transported by manually grasping the two handles I5. For such ordinary handling of the battery, the handles I5 remain in engagement with the box as shown in Fig. 4. If the battery is to be hoisted by a single cable or chain and branch chains respectively connected with the handles causing the application of forces to the handles having substantial horizontal components tending to move the handles into the position shown in Fig. 3, additional resistance to such movement may be provided by forcing flange I8 into the position I8A (Fig. 4) against the top of end wall Ill. If the said horizontal force components are unusually large, it may be necessary to fasten the plate I6 to the wall II] by a screw which will pass througha plain hole 25 and be received by a tapped hole in the wall III.
While the embodiment of the present inven.
tion as herein disclosed constitutes a preferred form, it is to be understood that other forms might be adopted, all coming within the scope of the claim which follows.
What is claimed is as follows:
In combination with a molded box having a shoulder extending in a plane parallel to the top of the box and including a lug on the top of the box and on the same side thereof as said shoulder; a readily attachable and detachable handle having an apertured flange adapted to fit over said lug and a second flange for engaging the shoulder, said two flanges being angled so as to diverge with respect to one another so that the first flange can be positioned over said lug before the secondv flange engages the shoulder, said first flange holding the second flange from slipping off the shoulder when in engagement therewith when the box is being lifted by a vertical pull on saidhandle.
