Abstract (en)

In a plastic crate with a bottom (1) and vertical side walls (2-5), at least one of the side walls (2; 3) is provided near the top side with a handle (6; 7) bounded at the bottom side by a handle opening (8; 9). The handle (6; 7) is integral with the rest of the crate and is made partially hollow. The cavity in the hollow part (11a,11b) is the shape of an elongated channel (12a,12b) which is surrounded by wall parts (13a,13b) together forming an essentially closed wall. The channel-shaped cavity is U-shaped. The legs of the U run parallel to the bottom (1) of the crate, and the wall parts of the legs of the U-shaped cavity form the top and bottom part of the handle (6; 7). Adjacent wall parts of the channel-shaped cavity are connected to each other by a connecting wall part (14,14'). <IMAGE>
