Abstract
This invention is aimed at material saving and cost reduction. A technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a light-weight Y-shaped handle without impairing injection moldability and the functions of the handle. The principal means of solving the above-described technical problem is an injection molded handle used by being fitted and secured firmly to a rear portion of a body of a synthetic resin bottle by an insert molding method. The handle comprises a pair of fitting bent beams disposed in parallel in an upright posture and fitted by an undercut engagement to a rear portion of a body of a bottle, a grip plate in a vertical and long rectangular shape disposed between the pair of the fitting bent beams, and a circular gate area disposed at a center of the grip plate, wherein the thickness of the grip plate is reduced on both sides thereof in a certain height range to form thin plate portions, while leaving, as thick portions, a near-gate area including and surrounding the gate area in a concentric manner and vertical slip portions extending up- and downward from the near-gate area.
