exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A transportable container, comprises at least one shell, which delimits an inner compartment for accommodating a plurality of items, and at least one handle, which can be gripped by a user, the container further includes at least one removable means of interlocking said handle with at least one abutment, which is associated with said shell. 
     
     
         2 . The transportable container according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one removable interlocking means comprises at least one hook, which is anchored to said at least one handle and which can removably engage by interlocking with said at least one abutment. 
     
     
         3 . The transportable container according to claims, wherein said at least one abutment is constituted substantially by a crossmember, which is supported by said shell. 
     
     
         4 . The transportable container according to  claim 1 , wherein said handle is constituted substantially by a U-shaped bracket, which comprises two parallel telescopic bars with adjustable length, which are mutually interconnected by a transverse secondary arm, which can be gripped by the user, each one of said bars, substantially on the opposite side with respect to said secondary arm, being coupled, by way of a hook, to a corresponding sabutment. 
     
     
         5 . The transportable container according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one removable interlocking means comprises a pair of sleeves, each one of said sleeves being provided externally with a respective said hook and being rigidly keyed on an end portion of a corresponding said bar, on the opposite side with respect to said secondary arm. 
     
     
         6 . The transportable container according to  claim 1 , wherein the container further includes at least one pair of wheels, which are rotatably supported by a respective shaft, which is fixed to said shell, said hooks being engaged by interlocking with respective portions of said shaft. 
     
     
         7 . The transportable container according to  claim 1 , wherein each one of said bars comprises at least one first half-bar, which is fixed to said transverse secondary arm and coaxially slideable on command in at least one second half-bar, for varying the length of said bars, and of said handle, each one of said sleeves being rigidly keyed on an end portion of a corresponding said second half-bar. 
     
     
         8 . The transportable container according to  claim 1 , wherein the container further includes a pair of grooves, which are provided along a first face of said shell and are accessible from the outside, for accommodating said second half-bars, said grooves leading to a recess, which is provided along said first face of said shell and is accessible from the outside, for accommodating said transverse secondary arm, at least in a configuration of minimum space occupation. 
     
     
         9 . The transportable container according to  claim 7 , wherein each one of said second half-bars is inserted, on the opposite side with respect to said sleeves, in respective slots which are provided in a plate, which is accommodated in said recess and which is facing and proximate to said grooves, said plate being associated with said shell by way of removable coupling elements. 
     
     
         10 . The transportable container according to  claim 9 , wherein said elements comprise respective screws, which are removably insertable in corresponding female screw seats, which are provided coaxially on said handle and on said shell. 
     
     
         11 . The transportable container according to  claim 9 , wherein said elements comprise respective pins, which are elastically kept accommodated in corresponding seats, which are provided coaxially on said handle and said shell, said pins, which are accommodated in said seats, being removably arranged in interference with the free movement of said plate with respect to said shell. 
     
     
         12 . The transportable container according to  claim 1 , further including at least one contoured reinforcement rib, which is applied rigidly along the outer surface of said shell, for an increase in impact resistance, and/or of shock absorption, and/or for the stable support of said shell, and/or for the protection of said wheels. 
     
     
         13 . The transportable container according to  claim 1 , further including at least one loop, which protrudes externally from said shell, for the insertion of belts, laces, straps, bands, or elastic cables. 
     
     
         14 . A handle, associated with a shell of a transportable container and that can be gripped by a user, comprising at least removable means of interlocking with at least one respective abutment, which is associated with the shell of the container. 
     
     
         15 . The handle according to  claim 14 , wherein the handle is constituted substantially by a U-shaped bracket, which comprises two parallel telescopic bars with adjustable length, which are mutually interconnected by a transverse secondary arm, which can be gripped by the user, each one of said bars, substantially on the opposite side with respect to said secondary arm, being coupled, by way of a respective hook, to a corresponding abutment each one of said hooks protruding externally from a corresponding sleeve, rigidly keyed on an end portion of a corresponding, on the opposite side with respect to said secondary arm. 
     
     
         16 . The handle according to  claim 14 , wherein each one of said bars comprises a first half-bar, which is fixed to said transverse secondary arm and is slideable on command in a second half-bar, for varying the length of said bars, and of said handle, each one of said sleeves being rigidly keyed on a corresponding said second half-bar.
