Abstract
A portable container, of the type of a trolley, suitcase, trunk, crate, and the like, includes at least one outer shell, for delimiting at least one accommodation compartment for objects in general, and an extractable handle, which can move between a minimum protrusion configuration, in which the handle is arranged in a respective seat, and at least one maximum protrusion configuration, in which the handle is extracted from the seat. The container includes at least one protrusion that protrudes from the edge of a slot and provided along the handle at least one respective recess provided on a tooth that contrast free movement of the handle.
Claims7
A portable container comprising:
- at least one outer shell, for delimiting at least one accommodation compartment for objects in general, and
- an extractable handle configured to move between a minimum protrusion configuration, in which said handle is arranged in a respective seat, and at least one maximum protrusion configuration, in which said handle is extracted from said seat, free movement from said minimum protrusion configuration is prevented by at least one tooth configured to be inserted with play in a slot provided along said handle and is supported by a respective tongue fixed to said shell and is elastically deformable configured for the extraction of said tooth from said slot following said elastic deformation and consequent clearance for the free movement of said handle,
- further comprising at least one protrusion that protrudes from the edge of said slot and at least one respective recess provided on said tooth, which faces and is aligned with said protrusion along the direction of movement of said handle in said minimum protrusion configuration, for the automatic insertion of said at least one protrusion in said at least one recess following a movement of said handle from said minimum protrusion configuration and the subsequent hindrance to the elastic deformation of said tongue.
