AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for handling and transporting heavy cardboard boxes without pre-drilled holes require significant physical strength, especially for elderly individuals, and often involve using additional tools like luggage straps, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming.

Method used

A set of two insertion tools, each comprising an insertion blade, a guide plate, and a handle, designed to be inserted into a cardboard box, allowing for even load distribution and easy lifting, with a structure that can be easily attached and detached from the box.

Benefits of technology

Enables safe and efficient handling and transportation of heavy cardboard boxes by distributing the load evenly and providing a secure grip, making it easier for individuals of all strengths to manage heavy loads, including the elderly.

Abstract

To present a support article which can be used without any trouble, with respect to the challenge of how to carry a heavy object in a corrugated cardboard box in an easy manner.SOLUTION: A handle for being inserted in a corrugated cardboard box is for lifting and moving a heavy corrugated cardboard box, and right and left two handles for being inserted come in one set. By thrusting an insertion blade directly in the corrugated cardboard box, the heavy corrugated cardboard box can be held safely with both hands. Note that the insertion blade has structure which is easy to be thrust into the corrugated cardboard box by being integrated with a handle / guide plate, so that even a powerless elderly person can use it easily.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The product of the present invention is inserted one by one from the outside of the cardboard box, left and right. While using the root 4 part of the "insertion blade" 1 as the fulcrum, by hooking the fingertips on the plate-shaped "handle" 3 [Figs. 1, 2, and 3], the load is evenly applied to both fingertips, making it easy to lift heavy objects.

[0002] In addition, the "insertion blade" 1 is integrated with the "handle" 3 and the "guide plate" 2, making it easy to pierce (easy to apply force) into the cardboard box. Therefore, even the weak elderly can use it comfortably.

[0003] This product may have two or more insertion blades to form a stronger handle.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Recently, it is often seen that there are holes for hand-holding on both sides of the cardboard box, and this type is to put the hand there. This type can be divided into two types: those with holes from the beginning or those with perforations to make it easy to make holes. Also, for simple cardboard boxes without hole-making or the like, it is common to use a hand-held hook that can wind a luggage strap or the like around two or more places and hang the strap. However, this method takes time to tie the load and requires a luggage strap and a handle.

[0005] In any case, there are many simple cardboard boxes without hole-making in circulation. When carrying heavy loads, physical strength is involved in their transfer. In general households, strong cardboard boxes are often diverted for other uses. It is considered that such difficult-to-carry cardboard boxes are used in a considerable amount.

[0006] For example, if you purchase six 2-liter bottles of drinking water (in a cardboard box) at a supermarket and there are no holes for handles in the cardboard box, it takes quite a bit of strength to carry it into your car. Also, when packing vegetables harvested from a vegetable garden in cardboard boxes and sending them to an acquaintance by courier, you might consider asking the courier to pick them up first, but that would be costly. To save on delivery costs, it is most common to take them to the courier's office yourself. In that case, you first have to load them into your car and then unload them at the courier's office. This task is particularly difficult for the elderly. The product of the present invention is designed to make it easier to lift and move heavy objects and support transportation for such tasks.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] The product of the present invention is a set of two "cardboard box - insertion tools" on the left and right for lifting and moving heavy cardboard boxes. By directly inserting the insertion blade into the cardboard box, it has a structure that allows you to safely hold a heavy cardboard box with both hands.

[0008] In addition, to withstand the load of a heavy cardboard box, the base of the insertion blade where the load is applied has a structure with a shape that can achieve as large an area as possible.

Effect of the Invention

[0009] This product can be easily attached to and removed from a cardboard box and can be repeatedly used any number of times, so there is no waste. After removing the insertion blade from a cardboard box that has once used this product, a hole will be left. However, when using the box again, it is possible to reuse it by inserting the insertion blade into this hole again.

[0010] By integrating the insertion blade with the handle and the guide plate, it has a structure that makes it easy to pierce (easy to apply force) into the cardboard box, so it is easy to use even for the elderly who are not strong.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show embodiments of the easy-opening handle according to the product of the present invention. Hold the guide plate 2 in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 1, press the insertion blade 1 against the side surface of the cardboard box, and insert it. In Figs. 2 and 3, when the insertion blade 1 is completely inserted inside the cardboard box, tilt the guide plate 2 downward by 90 degrees so that the guide plate 2 is in close contact with the side surface of the cardboard box, and the handle 3 is kept horizontal.

[0013] Note that when the guide plate 2 is lowered by 90 degrees, the insertion blade 1 faces upward so that it does not come off the cardboard box. Also, in order to support the load of the cardboard box at the base 4 of the insertion blade, the area of the base 4 of the insertion blade should be made as wide as possible, so the insertion blade 1 is not necessarily limited to two.

Claims

**Claim 1** The present invention is a set of two "corrugated box - insertion tools", one for the right hand and one for the left hand, for lifting and moving heavy corrugated boxes. By directly inserting the "insertion blade" 1 into the corrugated box, it has a structure that allows the corrugated box to be safely held with both hands. **Claim 2** Since the blade part is loaded by the empty corrugated box load, in order to disperse the load, the area of the "base of the insertion blade" 4 is made as wide as possible. **Claim 3** In order to make the inserted blade more stable, after insertion, by tilting the product 90 degrees downward [arrows in Figures 2 and 3], the guide plate clamps the corrugated box from both left and right. At the same time, since the blade (insertion part) itself is folded back and faces straight up, the load concentrates on the [base] 4 of the "insertion blade" 1 [Figure 1], changing to a structure that is easier to lift with a greater sense of stability.
