置に戻る。In this handle structure, the handle 23 is normally straight along the container body 24. However, when the handle 23 is held by hand, if the handle 23 is separated from the container body 24 and protrudes in an arched shape, the inside of the long groove 27 is relatively opposed. The sliding pin 26 is a leaf spring 29.
It is positioned at a position close to the end portion beyond the locking portion formed in the above, and the above-mentioned protruding state is held by the interaction with the flexibility of the handle body 21. To return to the state shown by the solid line, the protruding handle is pressed from above, and the leaf spring 29 is elastically displaced and the pins 26, 26 return to their original positions.

Its construction is a long and flexible handle main body 3, and a handle body 3 having the flexibility. A handle 2 including pivot members 4 and 4 attached to both ends of the main body 3 is provided, and the pivot members 4 and 4 at both ends of the handle 2 are attached to mounting portions 6 and 6 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the container main body 5 as shafts. The handle structure of the portable container 1 pivotally supported via the parts 11, 11 includes at least one of the pivot members 4, 4, and the pivot member 4, 4.
A long groove 10 that relatively slides the shaft portions 11, 11 along the length direction of the handle 2 is formed on either one of the mounting portions 6 and 6 that pivotally support 4, and the end portion of the long groove 10 is formed. In addition, when the middle part of the handle 2 is separated from the container body 5 and projected in an arch shape, the shaft parts 11, 11 are locked, and locking parts 10a, 10a for holding the protruding state of the handle are provided in series. It has a handle structure of a portable container.

The long grooves 10 which are long in the length direction of the handle are formed on the both side walls 4a, 4a described above. The size and the forming position of the long groove 10 are such that a pin 11 to be described later, which is inserted into the long groove 10, slides, and extends to a side of a predetermined length from the position of the pin 11. Further, in the long groove 10, when the handle 2 is brought into a state shown by an imaginary line, a locking portion 10a for locking the pin 11 is continuously provided below the end portion,
It is formed in an L shape as a whole.

がバランスを崩すことなく安定して行なえる。Further, in the above description, the long groove 10 and the engaging portion 10a are formed in the pivotal supporting members 4 and 4 on both sides of the handle body 3, but only one pivotal supporting member 4 is formed as shown in FIG. It is also possible to form it. The other pivotal support member 4 may be pivotally supported by appropriately setting the pivotal support point and the dimensions of the mounting portion 6 so that the rotation is not hindered. In such a case, the long groove 10 and the locking portion 1
The pivot member 4 having 0a is preferably located on the upper side of the container body 5. This is because when the handle body 3 is curved in an arch shape, the handle body 3 may be pulled by another finger while holding the container body 5 with the thumb located above the container body 5. By doing as described above, the protrusion operation of the handle can be stably performed without losing the balance.

By pulling, the handle main body 3 is moved away from the container main body 5 in a direction in which the pivot members 4 and 4 approach each other. Then, pin 11
Slides relatively in the long groove 10 toward the end, and when reaching the end, the pin 11 is locked to the locking portion 10a by the flexibility of the handle body 3. At this time, the handle body 3 can be held in a state of being curved upward in an arch shape, that is, in a state in which there is a space for the handle between the handle body 3 and the container body 5.

As the handle main body 3 extends, the pins 11 and 11 disengage from the locking portion 10a and enter the long groove 10, and the pivotal support members 4 and 4 at both ends move in a direction away from each other. The handle body 3 is the container body 5
It extends straight along and is held in a state where there is no space for a handle between it and the container body 5.

The outer peripheral surface of No. 1 and the rim of the long groove 10 can reduce the contact area. As a result, the operation can be performed smoothly, no unpleasant vibration is felt in the hand during operation, and no offensive sound is generated, and the sense of discomfort can be completely eliminated.
