Description

Josef Löken, Schaffeldstr. 21, 46395 Bocholt "Transport container with handle"

The innovation concerns a transport container with a handle.

This transport container can be, for example, goods packaging such as cardboard boxes, in particular shoe boxes, although the innovation is not limited to shoe boxes and the like, but also includes other corresponding transport containers or transport vessels.

Commercial shoe boxes and other product packaging are usually placed in fairly large paper or plastic bags in the retail store, department store, etc., so that the consumer can

corresponding products can transport them home. This type of transport, for example of shoe boxes or other packaging from the store to the consumer's home is quite disadvantageous due to the waste generated and the cost of the shopping bags required is also quite high.

high. When considering the amount of waste generated by these shopping bags and the costs involved, it must be remembered that the shopping bags required are mass products, so that the resulting waste quantities and costs

are significant.

The innovation is therefore based on the task of developing a transport container with a handle, which on the one hand makes it possible to easily transport a transport container such as

e.g. product packaging, can be transported by the consumer and which, on the other hand, significantly reduces the amount of waste generated and the costs for transport equipment.

This problem underlying the innovation is solved by the teaching of the characterising part of the main claim.

In other words, it is proposed that

the innovation eliminates the need for a shopping bag or similar that completely encloses the transport packaging and the means of transport is reduced by the innovation to just a handle that can be easily attached to the transport container, shoe box or similar, so

that the amount of waste and the costs can certainly be reduced by up to 90% compared to a shopping bag. The handle is designed in such a way that it is adhesive at the ends that are to be connected to the transport container, so that the handle is

Place, e.g. in a retail store or supermarket by the sales staff in a simple manner to the transport container
can be attached.

Advantageous embodiments of the innovation are explained in the subclaims.

In an advantageous embodiment, the handle in its carrying area, which is held in the hand when carrying,

non-adhesive design to ensure comfortable wearing.

A favorable design of the handle is achieved when a counter layer is used in the carrying area of the handle, which is applied to the adhesive side of an adhesive tape, so that on the one hand the use of a conventional adhesive tape is possible, which can then be easily modified for the special purpose as a transport handle.

In an advantageous embodiment, the handle consists of a piece of adhesive tape which has a carrying area in the middle area together with the aforementioned counter layer and an adhesive area is formed on each of its two outer ends, which are attached to the transport container.

If the handle is made of a transparent band, it is possible to print advertising, slogans, etc. on the opposite side in the carrying area, so that the handle can also be used as an advertising medium.

It is advantageous to use the packaging in which the goods are transported to the retailer as a transport container by arranging the handle on this packaging.

Especially with shoe boxes, the suggested carrying handle makes for a particularly clever type of transport aid.

It is advantageous, particularly in the case of product packaging consisting of an upper and lower part, to first fix these together, e.g. using adhesive tape or the like, before the handle is then arranged on this product packaging.

An embodiment of the innovation is shown in the drawing, whereby in this example the transport container 1 is a shoe box, which consists of an upper part 2 (lid) and a lower part 3. To ensure that the upper part 2 does not separate from the lower part 3 during transport of the shoe box,

the upper part 2 is attached to the lower part 3, e.g. by using adhesive tape. In addition, the drawing shows the handle 4, which in this embodiment is designed as an adhesive tape and this handle 4 is adhesively bonded to the transport container 1 in its contact area 5.

formed, whereby the illustrated handle 4 has two opposing

has overlying contact areas 5 which - as shown in the drawing - can be attached to two opposite sides of the transport container 1.

In its carrying area 6, the handle 4 is not designed to be adhesive on its underside, but has a counter layer 7 in this carrying area 6, which is placed against the adhesive side of the handle 4 in the carrying area 6 in order to prevent the handle 4 from sticking to the user's hand when carried.

It is advantageous if the handle 4 is made of transparent or translucent material, so that in this case a counter layer 7 printed with advertising, for example, is visible through the handle 4 and thus the handle 4 can also be used as an advertising medium.

can be used.

In the drawing, the handle 4 is attached to the front of the transport container 1 both on an upper side of the upper part 2 and on an upper side of the lower part 3.

Of course, other variations of the fastening of the handle 4 are also possible. It is also possible to connect the handle to the transport container only via a contact area 5.

An additional advantage of the innovation is that a transport container 1 printed with advertising is also visible to third parties during transport by the consumer.

The handle 4 can already be pre-assembled, in which case

These pre-assembled handles are arranged in one piece on a supply roll. This supply roll then only has to be unwound by the staff in the sales offices and the required handle is then cut off between two counter layers. For this purpose, appropriate

Appropriate dispensers for adhesive tape rolls are used

so that the process of separating a handle from a corresponding roll of adhesive tape is simplified.

An advantage of the innovation is that it can be used for all corresponding transport containers 1 and a

Adaptation of the transport container to its later purpose including the handle does not have to be carried out. In a shoe shop, for example, only a dispenser for adhesive tape rolls is set up, whereby many handles including counter-positions are located on these adhesive tape rolls.

one behind the other. A handle is then detached from the front end of this roll of adhesive tape and this handle is attached to the usual transport container in a matter of seconds.
