Definitions

  • a hand portable container is provided with passages contained in a side wall of a hollow body to receive portions of strap means in closed loop formation so that lower and upper portions of the strap means respectively traverse the base of the body and are available for carrying the container.
  • the present invention relates to hand portable containers and, more particularly, those in which the body of the container has at least one handle.
  • the main object of the present invention is to palliate the above-mentioned drawbacks of known containers.
  • the present invention provides a hand portable container of moulded material, comprising an open-topped hollow body having a side wall traversed by passages entirely contained within said wall and opening into the upper and lower surfaces of said body; and strap means in closed loop formation including side portions traversing said passages, a lower portion traversing the base of said body and an upper portion forming a carrying handle.
  • the stresses produced by the weight of the body and its contents during carriage are taken by the strap means and are distributed over the surfaces of the body which contact the strap means with the result that the body experiences substantially nothing more than compression stresses.
  • the invention also enables a container to be provided of an aesthetic appearance.
  • the body has a transverse section which is substantially rectangular in shape and four passages each located in the vicinity of one of the angles of the rectangle.
  • the strap means may include a single strap in a closed loop formation having two lower portions traversing the base of the body and two upper portions forming a carrying handle.
  • the strap may be in the form of a flattened tube, a thin strip or a flat band.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view from above of a container of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view from below of the container of FIG. 1.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 is of moulded material and comprises a body 1, strap means in the form of a single strap 2 and a lid 3.
  • the body 1 has a horizontal transverse cross-section which is substantially rectangular with lateral outer faces 4 curving outwards for extra strength.
  • a cavity 5 in the body 1 defines a side wall 6 3,491,913 Patented Jan. 27, 1970 which is thicker at the angles of the rectangle. In these angles are arranged respectively four passages 7 contained within the side wall 6 along the whole height of the latter and open into the upper and lower surfaces of the body 1. These passages 7 are successively traversed by portions of the strap 2 which forms a closed loop and includes two handles 8.
  • portions of the strap 2 between pairs of passages 7 contact the lower surface 9 of the body of the container, which lower surface is concave between said passages to facilitate stacking a number of containers.
  • the lid 3 comprises a shoulder 10 whose shape corresponds to the section of the space 5 and permits the fixing of the lid on the body 1 by push-fitting. On its circumference the lid 3 is provided with four cut-outs 11 each aligned with a passage 7 and permitting the free passage of the strap 2.
  • the said body is provided in the area of its upper surface with two chamfers 12 which permit manual action on the lower surface of the said lid.
  • the body 1 may be made of expanded polystyrene and the lid 3 can also be made of this material.
  • a hand portable container of moulded material comprising:
  • an open-topped hollow body having a side wall traversed from top to bottom by passages entirely contained within said wall and opening into the upper and lower surfaces of said body;
  • strap means in closed loop formation including side portions traversing said passages, a lower portion traversing the lower surface of said body and an upper portion forming a carrying handle.
  • a container according to claim 1 including a lid having a portion adapted to be push-fitted into said body and having a peripheral flange resting on the top edge of the side wall, said flange having cut-outs aligned with said passages.
  • a container according to claim 1, wherein said body is made from expanded polystyrene.
  • a container according to claim 1 wherein the outer faces of said side wall are curved outwards.
  • a hand portable container of moulded material comprising:
  • an open-topped hollow body having a horizontal transverse cross section which is substantially rectangular in shape and having a side wall traversed from top to bottom by four passages contained within said wall, each passage being located in the vicinity of one of the angles of the rectangle and opening into the upper and lower surfaces of said body;
  • strap means in closed loop formation including side portions traversing said passages, a lower portion traversing the lower surface of said body and an upper portion forming a carrying handle.
