KR-20260065857-A - Method of forming a carrier, carrying handle, box and a carrier, carrying handle, and box

Abstract

The present invention relates to a carrier, a carrying handle, a box, and a method for forming the carrier, the carrying handle, and the box. The carrier comprises an extendable portion, a longitudinal member connected to the extendable portion to form a loop, and a bridge comprising a plurality of breakable portions. The extendable portion is configured to extend from an initial shape to an extended shape by manually pulling the longitudinal member when in use, thereby forming a loop used for carrying an object. A method for forming a carrying handle comprises the step of placing a string at a proximal end of the box, wherein a portion of the string protrudes from a pair of proximal slots located at a pair of proximal corners of the box to form a loop portion around the proximal circumference. When in use, a portion of the string supports at least one side of the box.

Description

Method of forming a carrier, carrying handle, box and a carrier, carrying handle, and box The present invention relates to a carrier, a carrying handle, a box, and a method for forming the carrier, the carrying handle, and the box, and in particular to a box carrier and a method for forming the carrier for a pizza box, a cake box, or other types of boxes. The present invention was developed primarily for use in boxes and is described below in relation to this application. However, the present invention is not limited to this specific field of use. Cardboard boxes have long been widely used for packaging and transporting various goods due to their lightweight nature, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. However, one challenge associated with cardboard boxes is that standard boxes lack handles, resulting in a lack of convenient and ergonomic means of transport. In some cases, cardboard boxes are designed with flaps or hand holes that must be grasped and lifted by hand, which can cause inconvenience, physical strain, and the potential for damage to the box or its contents. If handles are to be included in a cardboard box, the designer must consider incorporating handles, such as cutouts formed on the sides of the box, during the design phase before manufacturing. One way to easily transport boxes without handles is to place them in plastic bags. However, due to the global trend of eliminating the use of plastics and plastic bags, alternative means of transporting cardboard boxes are required. Currently, carrying handles attached to or integrated with the box have been used to solve the aforementioned problem. However, what is needed is a carrying handle for cardboard boxes that is convenient, simple, easy to install, and cost-effective. The present invention aims to provide a box carrier that overcomes or substantially improves at least some of the defects of the prior art, or at least provides an alternative.
