Portable container
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.
1. 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.
2. The portable container according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of said protrusions arranged mutually side by side and protrude from said edge, and a plurality of respective said recesses provided on said side of said tooth, which face and are aligned with corresponding said protrusions along said direction of movement of said handle in said minimum protrusion configuration.
3. The portable container according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one protrusion and the said at least one recess having a substantially parallelepiped shape.
4. The portable container according to claim 1 , wherein said tooth is constituted Currently Amended by a ridge elongated along an axis that is transverse to said direction of movement of said handle, said at least one recess being provided on one side of said ridge.
5. The portable container according to claim 1 , wherein said seat is constituted substantially by an interspace interposed between a wall of said outer shell corresponding to a bottom wall, and an outer housing integral with said shell.
6. The portable container according to claim 5 , wherein said housing comprises a plate having a pair of parallel slits at a peripheral portion, said pair of parallel slits delimit said tongue.
7. The portable container according to claim 1 , wherein said handle is provided with a window aligned with said tooth along said movement direction, said tooth being inserted automatically in said window, when said handle reaches said maximum protrusion configuration, in order to prevent the subsequent free movement of said handle from said maximum protrusion configuration.
