Handle structure for cartons

Abstract

A handle structure for cartons has a handle body and two symmetrical fastening pairs disposed at two ends of the handle body. Each fastening pair includes an inside L frame, an outside L frame, and a flexible ligament connecting the inside L frame and the outside L frame. While the locations of the inside L frame and the outside L frame are shifted through the flexible ligament, the inside fastening strip of the inside L frame and the outside fastening strip of the outside L frame can adjoin closely. Moreover, the inside unfolded strip of inside L frame and the outside unfolded strip of the outside L frame are led to a status as two wings spanned in parallel at both sides of the flexible ligament.

Claims

1. A handle structure for cartons, comprising: a handle body, formed as a longitudinal strip structure; andtwo fastening pairs, connecting to two respective ends of said handle body, each said fastening pair further including: an inside L frame, formed as an L-shape two-arm structure, including an inside fastening strip connected to said handle body, and an inside unfolding strip, where said inside fastening strip is equipped with at least one inside fastening part and a junction of said inside fastening strip and said inside unfolding strip is defined as an inside edge of frame corner;an outside L frame, formed as another L-shape two-arm structure mapped from said inside L frame, including an outside fastening strip and an outside unfolding strip, where at least one outside fastening part is equipped on said outside fastening strip and another junction of said outside fastening strip and said outside unfolding strip is defined as an outside edge of frame corner; anda flexible ligament, connecting said inside edge of frame corner and said outside edge of frame corner so that said outside L frame is swingable relative to said inside edge of frame corner through a use of said flexible ligament, where positions of said inside L frame and said outside L frame are shifted through said flexible ligament so as to fixedly join said inside fastening part and said corresponding outside fastening part and said outside fastening strip and said inside fastening strip fit closely and join; said inside unfolded strip and said outside unfolded strip being extended as two parallel wings spanning at both sides of said flexible ligament.

2. The handle structure for cartons of claim 1, wherein said inside fastening part and said outside fastening part are a projective pin button and a matched hole for being passed by said projective pin button, respectively.

3. The handle structure for cartons of claim 1, wherein said outside fastening part and said inside fastening part are a projective pin button and a matched hole for being passed by said projective insert, respectively.

4. A carton structure, comprising, a carton, including a top where two assembly openings are fabricated and separated with a specified distance; anda handle structure, used as a handle of said carton, including: a handle body, formed as a longitudinal strip structure disposed at an outside of the top of the carton; andtwo fastening pairs, symmetrically connected to two ends of said handle body, respectively, each said fastening pair passing through said corresponding opening, each said fastening pair further including: an inside L frame, formed as an L-shape two-arm structure, including an inside fastening strip connected to said handle body and passing through said assemble opening, and an inside unfolding strip disposed at an inside of the top of the carton, where said inside fastening strip is set at least one inside fastening part disposed at an outside of the top of the carton; andan outside L frame, formed as an L-shape two-arm structure mapped from said inside L frame, including an outside fastening strip passing through said assemble opening, and an outside unfolding strip disposed at another inside of the top of said carton, where on said outside fastening strip at least one outside fastening part is equipped at another outside of the top of said carton; where said inside fastening part is fixedly joined with corresponding said outside fastening part so that said outside fastening strip fits said inside strip closely; said inside unfolded strip and said outside unfolded strip forming a continuous plane located at the inside of the top of the carton.

5. The carton structure of claim 4, wherein said inside fastening part and said outside fastening part are a projective pin button and a matched hole for being passed by said projective pin button, respectively.

6. The carton structure of claim 4, wherein said outside fastening part and said inside fastening part are a projective pin button and a matched hole for being passed by said projective pin button, respectively.

7. The carton structure of claim 4, wherein the junction of said inside fastening strip and said inside unfolded strip is defined as an inside edge of frame corner and the junction of said outside fastening strip and said outside unfolded strip is defined as an outside edge of frame corner, wherein said fastening pair also includes a flexible ligament connecting said inside edge of frame corner and said outside of frame corner.
