Abstract

The multifunctional handle (10) for a movable container, trolley or cart has two lateral, rounded head elements (11) fixed to the trolley (1) and a connecting bow (20) connecting the same having a flat, rounded cross-section (Q). The connecting bow rises in roof-shaped manner from the central area (B1) of the head elements and forms a hand-correct depression (16) towards the head element. This leads to an ergonomically particularly favourable handle for numerous hand positions (P1 to P7).
