Abstract
A handle for detachably receiving different tools. The handle includes a holding part at one end, and a fitting mechanism on another end. The fitting mechanism includes an upper fitting slot and a lower fitting slot. Each of the fitting slots includes a back support and a pair of bending portions that extend from lateral edges of the respective fitting slots, and the back supports of the fitting slots are secured to one another. A clip hook includes a sloped guiding face and a connecting notch hook. The clip hook is secured to the back support of the lower fitting slot. The clip hook is configured to detachably receive a U-shaped portion of a lower portion of a tool that is guided between the bending portions of the lower fitting slot and the sloped guiding face into the connecting notch hook.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a detachable handle, in particular the one with fitting mechanism in upper and lower slot bodies formed at one end of the handle capable of providing parts with different functions and shapes for fitting integration.
2. Description of the Background Art
There's a saying about “Nice tools are the prerequisite to get things better ”. In the occasion of grill party, the more the tools are the better the quality is, and the cheerful feeling can be secured more relatively. However, more complete tools do not mean that it costs more money to buy. Meanwhile, more space is required for storage. Generally, the grill tools contain grill grid, grill fork, knife and so forth. All these tools usually provide structure similar to the handle provided for holding and most of them are designed in accordance with the features of the tool. Hence, the shape and size are all different, always causing the difficulty in storage. Another question is that manufacturer will put the handle with the same shape and functions to the grill grid with different size as a result of grid areas with different size even when performing the hand-held grill grid with the same features for roasting foods. These handles are integrated with grill grid by fixed combination. Once the tools with the same functions and different sizes are purchased for convenience in grilling, what it costs is some available space to be wasted.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The handle for grill certainly provide the convenience to operate the grill tool, but the storage space occupation due to it size is the undisputed fact. As a result, the goal of the invention is to provide a handle structure, in which the handle can be in existence independently and one end of the handle is equipped with a fitting mechanism, providing a fitting structure for upper and lower layers. By means of the independent handle with fitting mechanism, the handle can have flexible combination with different grill tool. Moreover, the handle can be disassembled when it is not in use, securing the convenience in having one handle for the operation of various grill tools. Another goal of the invention is to disassemble the handles of tools, which are not necessary to be operated simultaneously, and to move to tools required for operation through the means of the flexibly disassembled handles. As such, it can effectively reduce the space occupation caused by handles installed for all tools in grilling.
PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION
To accomplish the flexible fitting feature provided for different tools, the structure characteristics of the invention lay on the fitting mechanism installed on one side of handle for holding. The fitting mechanism also provide a fitting structures on top layer and lower layer and each fitting structure is in form of a slot body, in which a place on the bottom of the lower layer slot body is installed with a springy plate hook. In accordance with the said structure, the upper layer slot type fitting structure may allow for the grill tools provided with elastic compression leg to combine with the invention for a operating grill tool by means of two legs fitted in the slot body. Another lower layer slot body in the invention can provide the grill tools with a horizontal tail end directly buckled in the springy plate hook on the bottom of the slot body to integrated with the invention. The upper and lower layer fitting structures of the invention, except the said model, can be treated as the identical structure. The identical structure can be the upper layer slot body or the lower layer slot body.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS.
The better implementation structure of the handle
1
of the invention is shown in FIG.
1
and is a long object for holding, in which one end is for holding part
11
and the opposite end is for providing the fitting mechanism
12
integrated with grill tools, in which the fitting mechanism
12
is formed by back to back integrating a upper layer fitting slot
13
and a lower layer fitting slot
14
. The fitting slots
13
and
14
have the same shape and width, while the length of the lower layer fitting slot
14
is greater than that of upper layer fitting slot
13
. The invention provides a clip hook
15
over a place at bottom side
141
of the lower layer fitting slot, which is made from elastic material, providing a sloped guiding face
151
and the connecting notch hook
152
over the rear end. The clip hook
15
can have fixed integration with the lower layer fitting slot
14
with rivet
16
or welding.
The invention and the assembly method of grill tools are as shown in
FIG. 3
˜
8
capable of simultaneously providing a detachable grill grid
3
and its assembly, in which the tail end of the upper layer grill grid
31
is provided with two parallel legs
311
. By means of relative slight compression of the leg
311
, it can be fitted in the bending portion
131
on the left and right sides of the upper layer fitting slot
13
and the upper layer grill grid
31
is integrated in the upper layer fitting slot
13
of the handle
1
(as shown in
FIG. 5
,
7
). The lower layer grill grid
32
possesses a U type tail end
321
, providing a longitudinal parallel part
322
with identical width of the lower layer fitting slot
14
and the horizontal end
323
over the tail portion. Use the longitudinal parallel part
322
of the U type tail end
321
to wedge into the inner side of the left and right sides of the bending part
141
of the lower layer fitting slot (as shown in
FIG. 5
) and the horizontal end
323
pushes in and is fastened in the notch hook
152
by means of the sloped guiding face
151
of the clip hook
15
so that the lower layer grill grid
32
is integrated in the lower layer fitting slot
14
(as shown in
FIG. 4
,
6
). For the said upper layer grill grids
31
and
32
integrated in the upper and lower layer fitting slots
13
and
14
of the handle
1
if it is necessary to combine both as a whole, the front end of one of the grill grid such as lower layer grill grid
32
is bent as a hook
324
. The front horizontal rod
312
of the upper layer grill grid
31
is fitted in the hook
324
to provide the integration with the corresponding place of the handle
1
with the upper and lower layer grill grids
31
and
31
.
In accordance with the said structure of the handle
1
, it is allowable to provide the integration with one of the upper and lower layer fitting slots of the grill grid with integration capability with the handle, or integration with both the upper and lower fitting slots at the same time.
