Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a tray that can be easily carried.

Shallow-bottom trays, which have been widely used in the past, are difficult to handle because there is no hook when lifting them, so a handle with finger hook holes on both outer edges is fixed in one piece. However, if such a handle is provided, the handle will protrude upward from the periphery of the tray, making it impossible to stack the trays, which will not only cause problems in storage space, but also cause the handle to become unusable. The handle would get in the way and make it difficult to store it with other items, and there was also a risk that the handle would collide with other items and be damaged. In addition, the finger hole provided on the handle is only large enough to allow a finger to be inserted, making it difficult to grip the handle firmly.
There were problems such as instability in carrying it.

For this reason, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 35-5676, a tray has been devised in which the handle body is pivotally attached to the left and right frame edges so as to be rotatable from the inside to the outside. For example, since the handle overlaps the upper end surface of the frame edge, the handle gets in the way when stacking multiple trays when not in use, making stacking unstable. Later, when the handle body is to be raised up, since the handle body is stored inside the tray, objects may interfere with the operation of raising the handle, and when the tray is carried by gripping the handle,
There are drawbacks such as the handle swinging from side to side about the pivot portion, resulting in an unstable condition.

On the other hand, a handle attached to a box that can be moved up and down is described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 38-22391, but the handle body protrudes from the upper end surface of the frame edge. If such a structure is adopted for a tray in which only a thin flange-like periphery can be formed, it is not possible to provide a storage part for the protrusion of the handle body, and therefore, the same problem as described above occurs. Moreover, when pulling up the handle body, there is no space in which a finger can be inserted, so it is necessary to grasp the handle body and pull it up to a height where a finger can be inserted, and then hook the handle body with the finger. First, there is a problem that lifting cannot be carried out smoothly.

In order to eliminate such problems, this invention
A cutout recess is provided on both sides of the main body of the tray by cutting an appropriate width portion from the outer end of the edge, and the handle is fitted into the cutout recess so as to be movable up and down.When not in use, the handle is inserted into the notch recess. To provide a tray configured so that a handle can be stored therein and the handle can be lifted from below the edge of the main body of the tray to securely and stably hold it when in use.

The embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings: 1
The main body is a rectangular basin with a shallow bottom made of hard synthetic resin such as urea resin or other suitable material, and a flange-shaped peripheral edge of a constant width that protrudes horizontally outward on the upper edge of the peripheral wall 2. 3 are integrally formed.

4, 4 are rectangular recesses formed in the center of both short edges 3a, 3a of the peripheral edge 3;
The width portion extending inward from the outer end surface is cut to an appropriate length.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a gate-shaped handle made by integrally providing leg pieces 5b, 5b bent downward at right angles at both ends of a flat horizontal handle part 5a having a rectangular plane and loosely fitted into the notch recess 4. It is a handle made of a metal plate, synthetic resin material, etc., and its horizontal handle part 5a
The thickness of the tray is equal to or slightly thinner than that of the peripheral edge 3, and the length of the leg pieces 5b is equal to or slightly lower than the height of the tray main body 1.

Reference numerals 6 and 6 denote stopper pieces formed at the lower ends of the leg pieces 5b and 5b and bent outward in an L-shape toward the length direction of the periphery 3 of the tray main body 1. The edges 3a are opposite to the lower surfaces of the edges 3a.

7, 7 is a rod-shaped vertical guide member whose upper end is fixed to the lower surface of the edge 3a above the stopper pieces 6, 6, and has a length equal to or slightly shorter than the height of the tray main body 1; Guide holes 8, 8 bored in the center of the stopper pieces 6, 6 in the guide members 7, 7
are inserted through the guide members 7, 7, respectively, and the lower end surfaces of the stopper pieces 6, 6 are received by the lower end large-diameter receiving portions 9, 9 of the guide members 7, 7. It is made to be flush with the top surface or slightly lower.

Note that 10 is an appropriate pattern provided on the upper surface of the horizontal handle portion of the handle 5. With this structure, when the handle 5 is not in use, the lower end stopper pieces 6, 6 of the leg pieces 5b, 5b are received by the lower end large diameter receiving parts 9, 9 of the guide members 7, 7, and the handle 5 is attached to the main body of the tray. 1 from the periphery 3 into the lower space 10, and when in use, pull up the handle 5 to abut and receive the stopper pieces 6, 6 on the lower surface of the periphery 3, and protrude upward from the periphery 3. It is carried by gripping the horizontal handle portion 5a.

As described above, the present invention integrally includes a flange-shaped peripheral wall 3 projecting outward on the upper edge of the tray main body 1,
At the center of both side edges 3a, 3a of this peripheral edge 3, a notch recess 4 having a planar rectangular shape is formed by cutting an appropriate width portion from the outer end of the peripheral edge 3, and the notch recess 4
In addition, the horizontal handle part 5a of the handle 5 is provided with leg pieces 5b, 5b having lengths equal to or slightly lower than the height of the tray main body 1 at both ends of the horizontal handle part 5a. A stopper piece 6 that can come into contact with the lower surfaces of the both side edges 3a, 3a of the tray main body 1 at the lower end;
6, and guide holes 8 formed in the stopper pieces 6, 6 are inserted into guide members 7, 7 vertically provided on the lower surfaces of the both side edges 3a, 3a of the tray main body 1 so as to be vertically movable. Therefore, when not in use, the handle 5 is stored in the space below the periphery 3 of the tray main body 1, so multiple trays can be stacked in a stable state using the upper surface of the periphery. Therefore, it can be stored neatly even in a narrow storage space, and since the handle 5 does not protrude in any way from the tray main body 1, there is no possibility of collision with other objects or damage. It is.

Furthermore, since the handle 5 is disposed in a notch 4 which has a rectangular plane shape and is formed by cutting an appropriate width portion from the outer end of the periphery 3, the lower surface and the outer side of the lower surface communicate with the external space. Therefore, it is possible to directly insert a finger into the lower surface of the handle 5 from the outside and easily lift the handle 5. Moreover, when the handle 5 is lifted, the upper horizontal handle portion protrudes upward to a large extent and the handle portion is lifted up. It can be held securely and the tray can be carried in a stable state.

Moreover, when the grip on the handle 5 is released after lowering the tray, the handle 5 automatically moves down by its own weight and sinks into the notch recess 4, allowing it to move inside the tray without getting in the way. This allows for smooth loading and unloading of articles.
