Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a container with a handle, in which a grip body of the container is provided in such a manner that it can be easily held with fingertips.

When you lift the grip of a container with a handle, such as a conventional coffee cup, with your fingertips, if you do not apply strong force to your fingertips, the container body will tilt downward to the left and the contents will spill out when you hold it with your right hand. It was difficult.

In order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional container, the present invention provides a container with a handle that is easy to hold by changing the attachment angle of the gripping body.

The hollow surface of the finger insertion hole formed by the grip of a conventional container with a handle is aligned with a vertical plane that includes the vertical centerline of the container body, which is formed by connecting the center of the bottom of the container and the center of the opening surface of the container. The situation has become the same.

What is the same for this vertical plane is
If the hollow surface of the finger insertion hole is considered to be a wheel, the force of the weight of the container and its contents acts on the hollow surface of the finger insertion hole, as if rolling the wheel. It is easy for slippage to occur between the surface of the fingers holding the container, and if the force of holding the container with the fingertips is weak, it is likely to be pulled toward the container body and tilt.

In the present invention, the hollow surface of the finger insertion hole formed by the gripping body is not the same with respect to a vertical plane including the vertical center line of the container body connecting the center of the container bottom and the center of the container opening surface. The gripping body is provided parallel to the vertical center line of the container body while intersecting at right angles.

This hollow surface and an extended surface of the hollow surface form a gripping body that intersects with the container side wall surface and does not enter inside the container body.

When lifting the gripping body according to the present invention, the force due to the weight of the container and its contents acts on the container side along the vertical plane including the vertical center line, and acts on the hollow surface of the finger insertion hole. Since the force is pulled sideways in the perpendicular direction, if you think of the hollow surface as a wheel, the force will push the horizontal wheel.

Therefore, the force that causes the wheels to roll, which is pulled in the direction along the hollow surface, is small, and the container body can be stopped from tilting only by the force that corresponds to the sideways pull.

Furthermore, the ease with which the gripping body of the present invention is held depends on the state in which the gripping bodies are lined up and protruding from the container body, and the fact that they are larger than conventional ones also has a slight effect. It is thought that there is.

To explain the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a side view showing the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a front view of the grip body 5, and FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof. This shows that.

On the side surface of the container body 1 in Example 1, the protruding plate-like portion 2 is arranged along a vertical plane including a vertical center line, which is a line connecting the center of the container bottom of the container body 1 and the center of the container opening surface. Installed upright.

The protruding plate-shaped portion 2 provided in this manner holds the grip body 5 in a parallel state while intersecting at right angles with a vertical plane including the vertical center line, and the hollow surface of the grip body 5 and the extension surface of the hollow surface are This is an installation part for making it easy to attach to the container body 1 even in a state where it does not intersect with the container side wall surface and enter the inside of the container body 1.

The upper end 3 and the lower end 4 of the protruding plate-like part 2, which is the installation part, are the upper and lower ends of the protruding plate-like part 2.
and the inner edge 6 of the upper point corresponding to the direct meridian of the circular gripping body 5.
and the inner edge 7 of the lower point, so that the hollow surface thereof is perpendicular to the vertical plane including the vertical center line.

Then, the circular hollow surface of the gripping body 5 is made parallel to the vertical center line of the container body 1.

The device of Example 1 is formed as described above.

When holding the container of Example 1, insert the index finger and middle finger from the outside into the finger insertion hole 8 on the front side, grasp the grip body 5 with the thumb from the container side, and lift the container body 1.

At this time, the weight of the container and its contents acts to tilt the grip 5 held by the fingers sideways toward the container, and the sliding movement at the contact surface between the fingers and the grip 5 It doesn't happen.

Then, the fingers other than the fingers holding the grip body 5 come into contact with the grip body 5 by acting as a butt for the grip body 5 falling sideways, so that they can cooperate in suppressing the tilting of the grip body 5. It is possible.

The gripping body 5 according to the present invention can be held in various ways because the gripping body 5 is entirely protruded from the container body 1 so as to be lined up on the outside.

The entire grip body 5 can be gripped from the outside with two or more fingers.

Also, insert your thumb into the front finger insertion hole 8 from the outside, insert your index finger into the rear finger insertion hole 9 from the outside, and lift it up with these two fingers. At this time, if you place the grip body 5 on your palm,
The container body 1 can be lifted without tilting as the palm rests on it.

Considering that the gripping body 5 is provided at a considerable distance from the container body 1, the weight of the container and its contents will act as a large weight on the gripping body 5.

The gripping force with the fingers corresponding to this large force is not lost due to slippage, so the structure according to the present invention allows the stronger gripping force or holding force to be applied to the grip body 5. Since it can be applied to any type of material, it is easy to deal with the force of large weight.

In a conventional handle, the grip body 5 is provided with a hollow surface in the same state as the vertical plane including the vertical center line of the container body 1, so if the hollow surface is considered as a wheel,
The weight of the container and its contents acts on the contact surface between the fingers and the grip 5 as a force that causes the wheels to rotate toward the container.

Therefore, the sliding force becomes very large, and the force of the fingers cannot overcome this sliding, making it difficult to lift the container body 1.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the second embodiment.

In the second embodiment, the inner edge 6 of the upper point of the grip body 5
The grip body 5 is rotated in a direction opposite to clockwise around the line connecting the lower point inner edge 7 and the hollow surface of the grip body 5 intersects with the container side wall surface and enters the inside of the container body 1. It was set up in a state where it was not present.

At this time, the vertical plane including the vertical center line of the container body 1 intersects the hollow surface of the right end portion of the grip body 5 at a right angle.

In addition, the grip body 5 indicated by a broken line in FIG.
If the width of the grip body 5' is short and small, the position where the vertical plane including the vertical center line intersects the hollow surface at right angles is an extension of the hollow surface extending outward from the right end of the grip body 5. Become a face.

Without changing the positions and conditions of the container body 1 and the grip body 5 in Example 2, the protruding plate-like portion 2 is shaped to be omitted, and the portion where the container body 1 and the grip body 5 are close to each other is changed. When combined as an installation part, the grip body 5 is provided with only the finger insertion hole 8 on the front side.

It is also possible to rotate the gripping body 5 in the second embodiment in the same direction as clockwise, and in this case, the position where the vertical plane including the vertical center line and the hollow plane intersect at right angles is as follows.
This is the left end portion of the grip body 5.

This item is easy to use for left-handed people.

Therefore, a third embodiment shown in FIG. 5 can be considered, in which two gripping bodies 5, which are rotated clockwise in the normal and reverse directions, are provided together in one place.

That is, in the third embodiment, the hollow surfaces of the front finger insertion hole 8 and the rear finger insertion hole 9 are not flush with each other.

The grip body 5 is rotated in the positive and reverse clockwise directions until the hollow surface and the extended surface of the hollow surface intersect with the container side wall surface and do not enter the inside of the container body 1. It is necessary.

The reason is that the rotation of the gripping body 5 is
If the gripping body 5 is inserted inside the container body 1, the gripping body 5 will become similar to a conventional gripping body, and the advantages of the gripping body 5 that are arranged on the outside of the container body 1 cannot be utilized.

The shape of the hollow surface of the finger insertion hole formed by the grip body 5 may have many shapes other than a circle, such as an oval, a triangle, a quadrilateral, a polygon, a parallelogram, and an irregular shape. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, it is also possible to consider a shape in which the front finger insertion hole 8 and the rear finger insertion hole 9 are not similar.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the front finger insertion hole 8
It is also conceivable to have only one.

As described above, in the case of gripping bodies 5 of various shapes and various embodiments according to the present invention, the weight of the container and its contents depends on the hollow surface of the gripping body 5 and It does not hang over the vertical plane including the extended surface of the hollow surface, but is on the side of the vertical plane.

Therefore, if the gripping body 5 is lifted directly upward along the vertical plane including the hollow surface, the weight of the container and its contents will be applied to the container body 1 side of the vertical plane including the hollow surface, It acts as a force that pulls the vertical surface horizontally and tilts it.

Therefore, when holding the grip body 5, it becomes easy to hold without slippage.

In conventional grips, the weight of the container and its contents rests on a vertical surface that includes a hollow surface. Therefore, its weight acts as a force pushing down vertical surfaces including hollow surfaces.

Therefore, if you lift the grip 5 upward, the weight of the container and its contents will become the weight of a pendulum around the point where you hold the grip 5, and the hollow surface will swing like a flywheel. Containing vertical planes are rotated.

Because of this large rotational moment, when lifting the conventional gripping body, it becomes slippery and difficult to hold.

In the container with a handle according to the present invention, the external shape of the gripping body 5 can be varied, and it is possible to provide a container with a handle that is flexible and has no hitherto available. .

The container has a handle that allows people such as infants who have started holding cups, elementary school students in lower grades, and the elderly to easily hold the container without spilling the contents.

Therefore, if used in hospitals, kindergartens, schools, etc., many people will appreciate the container, which has a handle that is easy to hold and allows for a stable grip.
