Abstract

A handle of the present invention is a handle configured to be attached on a side surface of a container body along an upward and downward direction of the container body, the handle including an elongated grip portion, an upper attachment arm provided on an upper side of the grip portion, and a lower attachment arm provided on a lower side of the grip portion, wherein on at least a part of a lower surface of a distal end side of the upper attachment arm, a first inclined surface is formed to be inclined toward A center portion of the grip portion, and on at least a part of an upper surface of a distal end side of the lower attachment arm, a second inclined surface is formed to be inclined toward the center portion of the grip portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A handle configured to be attached on a side surface of a container along an upward and downward direction of the container, the handle comprising:
an elongated grip portion;
an upper attachment arm provided on an upper side of the grip portion; and
a lower attachment arm provided on a lower side of the grip portion,
wherein on at least a part of a lower surface of a distal end side of the upper attachment arm, a first inclined surface is formed to be inclined toward a center portion of the grip portion,
wherein on at least a part of an upper surface of a distal end side of the lower attachment arm, a second inclined surface is formed to be inclined toward the center portion of the grip portion,
wherein a distal end of the first inclined surface on the distal end side is located on the lower surface of the upper attachment arm,
wherein a distal end of the second inclined surface on the distal end side is located on the upper surface of the lower attachment arm,
wherein a first engaging portion configured to be engaged with the container is formed at a distal end portion of the upper attachment arm, and the first inclined surface is inclined so that a thickness of the upper attachment arm is gradually decreased toward the first engaging portion in an upper and lower direction, and
wherein a second engaging portion configured to be engaged with the container is formed at a distal end portion of the lower attachment arm, and the second inclined surface is inclined so that a thickness of the lower attachment arm is gradually decreased toward the second engaging portion in the upper and lower direction.

2. The handle according to claim 1 ,
wherein a convex-shaped rib extending in a width direction of the lower attachment arm is provided on a lower surface side of the lower attachment arm.

3. A container with a handle, the container comprising:
a bottomed tubular container body; and
the handle including:
an elongated grip portion;
an upper attachment arm provided on an upper side of the grip portion; and
a lower attachment arm provided on a lower side of the grip portion,

wherein on at least a part of a lower surface of a distal end side of the upper attachment arm; a first inclined surface is formed to be inclined toward a center portion of the grip portion,
wherein on at least a part of an upper surface of a distal end side of the lower attachment arm, a second inclined surface is formed to be inclined toward the center portion of the grip portion,
wherein the distal end portions of the upper attachment arm and the lower attachment arm are engaged and integrated with a recess portion formed on a side surface of the container body by blow-molding,
wherein a distal end of the first inclined surface on the distal end side is located on the lower surface of the upper attachment arm,
wherein a distal end of the second inclined surface on the distal end side is located on the upper surface of the lower attachment arm,
wherein a first engaging portion engaged with the container is formed at a distal end portion of the upper attachment arm, and the first inclined surface is inclined so that a thickness of the upper attachment arm is gradually decreased toward the first engaging portion in an upper and lower direction, and
wherein a second engaging portion engaged with the container is formed at a distal end portion of the lower attachment arm, and the second inclined surface is inclined so that a thickness of the lower attachment arm is gradually decreased toward the second engaging portion in the upper and lower direction.

4. The container with the handle according to claim 3 ,
wherein a convex-shaped rib extending in a width direction of the lower attachment arm is provided on a lower surface side of the lower attachment arm.

5. The container with the handle according to claim 3 ,
wherein the container body and the handle are formed of a same resin material.

6. The container with the handle according to claim 3 ,
wherein the upper attachment arm protrudes more toward a center side of the container body relative to the container body than the lower attachment arm.
