Abstract
The invention relates to a carry basket, preferably a cardboard carry basket, having a carry basin for receiving a product to be transported, and having a carry handle connected to the carry basin, wherein the carry handle is designed as a grip handle, wherein the carry handle is designed as a handle strap connected to at least two side walls of the carry basin and shortened by at least one fold prior to being used, and wherein the handle strap overlaps the products present in the carry basin and/or engages as a spacer between the products, and thereby secures the products during transport, for example.
Claims17
A carry basket comprising:
- a carry basin to receive products;
- and a carry handle attached to the carry basin;
- the carry handle including a handle strap having a fixed length, said handle strap being attached to at least two side walls of the carry basin, the handle strap transitioning between a first state, before use, in which said handle strap is folded and a second state in which the handle strap is unfolded, wherein in the first state, the handle strap acts as a spacer between the products and causes said products to be pressed against said side walls, thereby fixing said products and preventing said products from knocking against each other, and wherein in the second state, the handle strap passes over the products carried in the carry basin, thereby enabling the carry basin to be carried by the handle strap, and releases said products.
A manufacture comprising a carry basket, said carry basket comprising a carry basin to receive products, and a carry handle, wherein said carry handle comprises a first end, a second end, and a handle strap, wherein said handle strap comprises a folding section, wherein said first end is fixed to a first side of said carry basin, wherein said second end is fixed to second side of said carry basin, wherein said folding section transitions between a first folding-section state and a second folding-section state, wherein when said folding section is in said first folding-section state, said folding section maintains a first folding-section length, wherein when said folding section is in said second folding-section state, said folding section maintains a second folding-section length, wherein said handle strap transitions between a first handle-strap state and a second handle-strap state, wherein in said first handle-strap state, said handle strap maintains a first handle-length, wherein in said second handle-strap state, said handle strap maintains a second handle-length, wherein said second handle-length is greater than said first handle-length by an amount that depends on a difference between said first folding-section length and said second folding-section length, wherein when said handle strap is in said first handle-strap state, said handle strap extends straight across said carry basin along a first path such that said handle strap separates products carried in said carry basin, wherein said handle strap restricts travel of said products in a direction perpendicular to said first path, wherein when said handle strap is in said second handle-strap state, said handle strap extends across said carry basin along a second path, said second path defining an arc that extends over said carry basin, thereby enabling said carry basin to be carried by said handle strap.
