AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effects of this patent are to create a handle that is easy to use, providing a comfortable grip for the user.

Problems solved by technology

A first significant drawback is represented by the fact that the handle is particularly inconvenient to use.
In fact when the handle is almost completely housed in the slot made on the box, the user encounters considerable difficulty in extracting and distending it due to the rigidity of the material constituting said handle.
Another drawback is identifiable in that the handle is particularly uncomfortable especially if lifting heavy loads.
A further drawback is the fact that the handles are not sufficiently resistant, and consequently tend to break frequently.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]With reference to said drawings, reference numeral 1 globally denotes the handle device for a box.

[0019]It is suitable to be associated to a box or other packaging or similar container as to facilitate the operations of lifting and moving the box.

[0020]The handle device 1 comprises a first sheet 2 and a second sheet 3 superposed and firmly attached to the first sheet 2; at least one opening 4 made on one of the sheets 2 and 3 and defining a preferred extension axis 4a; a handle portion 5 constrained between the sheets 2 and 3 so as to at least partially position itself over the opening 4. Preferably, the handle device 1 has a single opening 4 made on the first sheet 2.

[0021]The sheets 2 and 3 are made of paper material and, preferably, of highly resistant paper material, more preferably, of kraft paper and, more preferably, of pure cellulose kraft paper.

[0022]The handle portion 5 comprises two ends 5a opposite each other and constrained between the sheets 2 and 3 and a grip po...

Abstract

Provided is a handle device for a box, including two sheets of paper material overlapping and integrally bound to each other at least one of the sheets defining an opening; a handle portion interposed between the sheets and defining two opposing ends, the handle portion being made of fabric; and a grip portion disposed between the opposing ends, the opposing ends being integrally bound between the two sheets and said grip portion being disposed over the opening.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an improved handle device for boxes.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]Currently, boxes are provided with retractable handles, i.e. handles which protrude from the box during use facilitating the gripping thereof and which, when the box is not in use, can be folded limiting the overall dimensions of the box.[0003]Said handles consist of a strip of paper material enclosed between two sheets so as to partially overlap in a special slit made on one of the two sheets.[0004]At the moment of use, the user grasps the strip, pulls it out from the slit and folds it so as to define a handle of the box.[0005]The known technique cited above has some significant drawbacks.[0006]A first significant drawback is represented by the fact that the handle is particularly inconvenient to use.[0007]In fact when the handle is almost completely housed in the slot made on the box, the user encounters considerable difficulty in extracting and disten...
