Abstract

A container comprises a connecting means, which forms an integral part of the container or is detachably attached to the container. In an unpacked state of the container, at least a portion of the connecting means is detached from the container and at least partially spans at least a part of a circumference of the container. In the unpacked state of the container, the connecting means provides a handle suitable for being supported by a carrier. A system comprising a respective container and a method for providing a container with a handle are described.

Dependent claims

A container, comprising:

a connecting means including a patch-shaped structure attached to the container, wherein the patch-shaped structure has a first surface facing outward from the container and a second surface opposite to the first surface facing toward the container, and wherein through-holes defined in the patch-shaped structure extend from the first surface to the second surface;
the connecting means further including loop material that is guided through the through-holes such that a first portion of the loop material forming a first loop is located on the first surface of the patch-shaped structure and a second portion of the loop material forming a second loop is also located on the first surface of the patch-shaped structure, the loop material of the first and second loops being fed through the through-holes such that a remainder of the loop material is located on the second surface of the patch-shaped structure between the patch-shaped structure and the container;
wherein the first loop and/or the second loop are extendable by pulling the respective first and/or second loop outward from the container, thereby pulling a portion of the remainder of the loop material through a through hole from the second surface to the first surface of the patch-shaped structure;
wherein, in an unpacked state of the container, the first loop and/or the second loop of the connecting means are extended from the patch-shaped structure and span at least a part of a circumference of the container,
wherein, in the unpacked state of the container, the first loop and/or the second loop provide a handle suitable for being supported by a carrier to carry the container, and
wherein the container has at least one edge and at least a portion of the container is detachable at the at least one edge, forming at least one detachable portion that, when detached, is adapted to engage with the first loop and/or the second loop of the connecting means to provide the handle.

A system comprising:

a container, including a patch-shaped structure that has an outward-facing first surface and an inward-facing second surface opposite to the outward-facing first surface, wherein through-holes defined in the patch-shaped structure extend from the first surface to the second surface, and wherein a portion of the container external to the patch-shaped structure has additional through-holes defined therein extending from inside the container to outside the container, and
loop material that is guided through the through-holes of the patch-shaped structure and the container such that a first portion of the loop material extends from the through-holes of the patch-shaped structure and forms a first loop that is located on the first surface of the patch-shaped structure and a second portion of the loop material extends from the through-holes of the container and forms a second loop that is located outside the container, the loop material of the first and second loops being fed through the through-holes such that a remainder of the loop material is located inside the container,
wherein, in an unpacked state of the container, the first loop and/or the second loop are extended from the patch-shaped structure and/or the container respectively, and span at least a part of a circumference of the container,
wherein, in the unpacked state of the container, the first loop and/or the second loop provide a handle suitable for being supported by a carrier to carry the container, and
wherein the container has at least one edge, and at least a portion of the container is detachable at the at least one edge, forming at least one detachable portion that, when detached, is adapted to engage with the first loop and/or the second loop to provide the handle.

2 more elements

A system comprising:

a patch-shaped structure having an outward-facing first surface and an inward-facing second surface opposite to the outward-facing first surface, wherein through-holes are defined in the patch-shaped structure and extend from the first surface to the second surface;
and
loop material that is guided through the through-holes such that a first portion of the loop material forming a first loop is located on the first surface of the patch-shaped structure and a second portion of the loop material forming a second loop is also located on the first surface of the patch-shaped structure, the loop material of the first and second loops being fed through the through-holes such that a remainder of the loop material is located on the second surface of the patch-shaped structure;
wherein the first loop and/or the second loop are extendable by pulling the respective first and/or second loop outward from the patch-shaped structure, thereby pulling a portion of the remainder of the loop material through a through hole from the second surface to the first surface of the patch-shaped structure,
wherein the patch-shaped structure is attachable to a container, and when the patch-shaped structure is attached to the container, the remainder of the loop material located on the second surface of the patch-shaped structure is held between the patch-shaped structure and the container, and when the first loop and/or the second loop is extended from the patch-shaped structure, the first loop and/or the second loop is arranged to span at least a part of a circumference of the container and provide a handle suitable for being supported by a carrier to carry the container, and
wherein a portion of the container is detachable from at least one edge of the container such that, when detached, the portion of the container is adapted to engage with the first loop and/or the second loop to provide the handle.
