Definitions
- the invention is related to a device according to the precharac- terising part of claim 1 .
- the invention generally speaking is applicable to a wide variety of different types of containers for providing ergonomically advantageous lifts and displacements thereof via the handle of the container, it is particularly preferred to apply the invention to such containers which have the character of carriers for merchandise, in particular in the form of baskets for merchandise. These are intended to be stackable in each other to reduce the space requirement.
- Such containers or carriers for merchandise have as a rule an elongated shape in horizontal sections.
- the baskets presently available are provided with a handle in the form of a bail arranged transversely to the longitudinal direc- tion of the basket.
- the upper horizontal part of this bail functions as a handle.
- This formation of the grip means that the lifting hand must be rotated, from a position generally parallel to the walking direction in a relaxed situation, to a direction where the back of the hand either will be rotated to be turned forwardly in the walking direction (pronated position) or conversely with the back of the hand turned backwards (supinated position).
- the object of the invention is to reduce this problem by providing a container having a handle designed to increase the ergonomic comfort.
- Fig 1 illustrates diagrammatically in a sideview a basket for merchandise having a carrying handle according to a first embodiment of the invention.
- Fig 2 is a view along the line ll-l l in fig 1 .
- Fig 3 is a view along the line Il l-Ill in fig 1 .
- Fig 4 is a section along the line IV-IV in fig 1 .
- Fig 5 is a view similar to the one in fig 2 but illustrating a different embodiment for restricting the freedom of pivoting of the handle.
- Fig 6 illustrates diagrammatically in a sideview a basket for merchandise having a carrying handle according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- Fig 7 is a view along the line VI I-VII in fig 6.
- Fig 8 illustrates diagrammatically baskets for merchandise in a stacked state, said baskets having handles according to any of the embodiments of the invention.
- Fig 9 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention from above.
- Fig 10 illustrates a section along the line X-X in fig 9.
- the drawings illustrate diagrammatically a design and connection of a handle to a basket for merchandise or a customer's basket.
- the invention is not only restricted to this purpose but is intended to be generally applicable also to other types of containers movable by handpower.
- the device comprises a handle 2 connected to at least one arm 3, which in turn is connected to the container via a hinge 1 1 forming a pivot axis 12 for the handle 2.
- This pivot axis 12 is substantially parallel to the handle 2.
- the hinge proper is in fig 1 -4 formed by a first part 4 and a second part 7, which engage hingedly with each other.
- the part 4 connected to the arm 3 forms together with the part 7, which is provided on the container 1 and formed by or connected to the rim 5, said hinge 1 1 .
- This hinge provides for movability of the unit formed by the handle 2, the arm or arms 3 and the part 4 in relation to the container 1 .
- the motion in the hinge thus formed occurs around the pivot axis 12 comprised in the part 4.
- the movement is restricted so that the handle may assume two extreme positions, on one hand a downwardly pivoted position, wherein the handle 2 and arm/arms 3 will assume an almost horizontal position, and on the other hand a raised position in connection with a lift.
- the handle 2 is present, as seen in the plane of rotation of the hinge, in a point substantially within a conceived vertical line through the centre of the basket.
- a first embodiment is illustrated in fig 1 , where the handle 2 is designed with a connection to the container 1 consisting of an arm 3 and a part 4.
- the handle is in this embodiment shorter than the total length of the basket.
- Fig 2 illustrates the same embodiment viewed from a short side of the basket.
- the two extreme positions the handle 2 with the arm 3 may assume appear from fig 2.
- the handle will, in its raised position 2b, be present in a conceived vertical plan Lp through the centre of the basket.
- Fig 3 illustrates again the first embodiment, this time viewed from above according to the line Ill-Ill in fig 1.
- the downwardly pivoted position 2a of the handle and the upwardly pivoted position 2b thereof appear in the figure.
- Fig 4 illustrates an example on how it is possible to restrict the range of movement within the hinge, which is comprised of the part 4 and the part 7 formed by the rim 5 or connected to the rim.
- the stationary part 7, which belongs to the basket, of the hinge 1 1 has a bulb 8 protruding into the space for the part 4. This bulb interferes with the possibility of movement of the part 4 in a rotating direction and restricts, accordingly, the range of movement of the arm 3 and the handle 2 in the intended manner.
- Fig 5 illustrates another way of restricting pivoting of the handle 2.
- Holes 9 are provided in the arm 3 and in the rim 5. Between these holes there is a connection in the form of a band 10 or string to delimit movement of the handle in the upper position thereof.
- Fig 6 illustrates another embodiment of the handle 2'.
- the handle is here extended and comprises basically the same length as the container 1 '.
- the handle is provided with an arm 3' connected in each end to the part 4'.
- the mechanism for re- stricting the movement in the plane of rotation is the same as illustrated in fig 4 or 5.
- Fig 7 illustrates the same embodiment of the handle as in fig 6 seen from above according to the line VI I-VII in fig 6.
- Fig 8 illustrates a stack of identical baskets.
- Fig 9 illustrates a modified embodiment, where the basket has a narrowed waist, in the area of which the hinge 1 1 " is provided.
- the parts 4" and 7" forming the hinge 1 1 " are here substantially shorter than the longitudinally extent of the basket.
- the arm 3" has here a more complex shape adapted to the external contour of the basket.
- the position of the handle 2" for carrying appears with dashed lines.
