Foldable handle

Abstract

To provide a foldable handle made by using a cardboard sheet state member having sufficient strength, where both of easiness of assembling at the time of use and variety in using ways are established and expansion and storage are easy.SOLUTION: A handle 1 can be assembled by folding ridge folding lines 6a, 6b, 6c and valley folding lines 7a, 7b provided on a cardboard sheet A and mutually fitting engagement parts 8a provided on grip part bottom faces 2a, 2b and engagement parts 8b provided on grip part side faces 3a, 3b. At a top side part of each grip part of the handle, notch openings 11a',11a and notch openings 11b', 11b are formed so as to face each other. At the time of use, these notch openings and folding lines 10a, 10b are used for suspending hand baggage and shopping bag. The handle is low-priced via reduced manufacturing costs and processes and is easy to assemble, which makes the handle be suitable as a handle for service, and reduces plastic waste, which gives a low environmental load. The handle also has a high utilization value after use.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a handle that can be used as a handle for hanging a string for packing luggage or a shopping bag with a handle. [Background technology]

[0002] When you go shopping and have to carry heavy luggage or shopping bags hanging from your bare hands for a long time, you have to endure the pain of them gradually digging into your palms.

[0003] For this reason, many carrier handles are sold that are designed to alleviate the pain of heavy baggage digging into the palm of the hand, but conventional carrier handles for service use are made of disposable plastic with the grip and hook molded as one unit. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3598146 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The above-mentioned service handles are often thrown away when people take them home. Most plastics are burned as garbage and used as a heat source, but the carbon dioxide emissions are also a serious environmental pollution problem. In addition, disposable plastic products are difficult to decompose when they are discharged into the sea or rivers, causing serious environmental pollution. Furthermore, the destruction of marine ecosystems by microplastic particles is also a serious problem.

[0006] The object of the present invention was made in consideration of such environmental pollution, and is to provide a carrier handle that is inexpensive, highly recyclable, and has a low environmental impact as it is made without using plastic. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] That is, the handle 1 described in claim 1 can be assembled by folding the mountain fold lines 6a, 6b, and 6c and the valley fold lines 7a and 7b on the cardboard sheet A, and by engaging the locking parts 8a on the bottom faces 2a and 2b of the handle with the locking parts 8b on the side faces 3a and 3b of the handle.

[0008] Moreover, the handle 1 described in claim 2 has cutouts 11a' and 11a, and 11b' and 11b at the top of each grip, which are formed to face each other. In this way, the load applied to the top of the grip during use is distributed between the cutouts, improving the strength and durability of the handle 1. Also, by connecting a new handle, it has the effect of further increasing the rigidity in the lateral and torsional directions, and further improving durability. This structure is characteristic of the product.

[0009] Moreover, the handle 1 described in claim 3 can be folded at the mountain folds 5a, 5b on the sides 3a, 3b of the handle to create a gap between the baggage and the handle, making it easier to hold, while also increasing the rigidity in the lateral and torsional directions, improving durability.

[0010] Moreover, the handle 1 described in claim 4 has a double-layer structure with the handle inner folded surfaces 4a, 4b folded back at the mountain fold line 6a, forming the handle inner folded surfaces 4a' and 4b'. This double-layer structure has the effect of increasing the rigidity in the lateral and torsional directions and improving durability. This structure is a feature of the handle. Effect of the Invention As explained above, the present invention assembles the carrier handle 1 by forming cutouts in a cardboard sheet A having sufficient strength for hanging baggage and shopping bags, folding the mountain folds and valley folds and the mountain folds in the handle, and then engaging the locking parts on the bottom and side of the handle with each other. This is a foldable carrier handle characterized by such a structure.

[0011] This creates a gap between the baggage and the handle, making it easier to grip and carry. The elasticity created by the mountain and valley folds also provides a softer feel than plastic handles. Thus, the handle 1 of the present invention is gentle on the hand and fits remarkably well, making it comfortable to carry.

[0012] Furthermore, compared to conventional products, the manufacturing costs and processes are reduced, making it possible to produce it at a low price. In addition, since it can be stored in a sheet-like state with multiple sheets stacked, it can be easily taken out and assembled when needed, making it ideal as a carrier for service use. Also, unlike conventional plastic products, it has a high recyclability and the advantage of being less environmentally burdensome as it is a plastic-free product.

[0013] Furthermore, it can be used in a variety of ways, and instead of being disposable, it can be unfolded after use and used as, for example, a smartphone stand as shown in Figure 12, or a pen holder as shown in Figure 13, or other small item storage. In this way, it is characterized by its high utility value not only as a carrier but also as a multipurpose item. [Brief description of the drawings]
