The present invention relates to a keg chime configured to be mounted to a keg, for example a blow moulded plastic keg. The chime may include a handle that has a waveform profile when viewed in cross-section along a length of the handle. The handle may include a first set of one or more regions of inflection that provide a first surface of the handle and a second set of one or more regions of inflection that provide an opposing second surface of the handle. The chime may be configured to be connected to a sleeve for surrounding at least part of a body portion of the keg. The interface between the chime and the sleeve may be configured to permit axially outward movement of the chime with respect to the sleeve in order to accommodate axial expansion of the keg.
A chime configured to be mounted to a keg, the chime comprising a handle that has a waveform profile when viewed in cross-section along a length direction of the handle, wherein the waveform profile defines at least one region of inflection forming at least part of a first surface of the handle, and at least one further region of inflection forming at least part of a second surface of the handle.
