Containing device having slidable handle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional containers with slidable handles are inconvenient to carry when empty or when contents are not stackable, as the lifting direction is fixed and the width is too wide, making them difficult to maneuver.
Innovation Solution
A containing device with a slidable handle that can be moved between two positions, allowing the user to change the lifting direction and accommodate different carrying scenarios, featuring a sliding rail unit with a turning section between sliding sections on the container surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the container has a fixed handle position on the cover, then the container structure is simple, but the lifting direction cannot be changed making it inconvenient to carry when empty or with non-stackable contents
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is transformed from a fixed position to a movable position along the sliding slot. The sliding slot extends from the first surface to the second surface of the container, allowing the handle to be positioned dynamically at different locations depending on the carrying needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding slot structure enables the single handle to serve multiple functions by allowing it to be positioned at different locations. This universal design allows the same handle structure to adapt to various carrying scenarios, whether the container is full or empty, without requiring multiple fixed handle configurations.
2Quantity of substance
If the container has a large cross-section storage space, then the storage capacity is improved, but the container width becomes too wide making it difficult to maneuver and carry
Solution Approach 1:
The handle position can be dynamically adjusted along the sliding slot to different locations on the container body. When the container is empty or contains non-stackable items, the handle can be moved to positions that reduce the effective carrying width, making it easier to maneuver despite the large storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding slot is divided into different sections: a first sliding section corresponding to the first surface, a second sliding section corresponding to the second surface, and a turning section connecting them. This segmentation allows the handle to be positioned optimally for different carrying orientations and scenarios.

AI summary
A containing device having a slidable handle includes a container (1) and a handle (2). The container (1) includes a first surface (114), a second surface (115) and at least one sliding slot (14) extended from the first surface (114) to the second surface (115). The sliding slot (14) includes a first sliding section (141) arranged corresponding to the first surface (114), a second sliding section (142) arranged corresponding to the second surface (115), and a turning section (143) connected between the first sliding section (141) and the second sliding section (142). The handle (2) movable along the at least one sliding slot (14) is assembled to the container (1). The structure allows a user to hold the handle (2) from the first surface (114) or the second surface (115), so that a lifting direction of the containing device can be changed. Accordingly, it is convenient to carry and use the containing device.
