Container cover

A cover for a container having an outwardly projecting handle, comprising:

• a skirt having a panel section and a pair of oppositely facing attachment flaps for at least partially wrapping around the container;
• an attachment mechanism disposed on at least one end of one of the pair of oppositely facing attachment flaps and being selectively engageable with the other of the pair of oppositely facing attachment flaps to retain the skirt around the container and below the outwardly projecting handle;
• a lip projecting inwardly about an upper periphery of the skirt, the lip being configured for slide-on engagement and support by the rim;
• a tab downwardly extending from the lip underneath the outwardly projecting handle and including an outer attachment strip;
• and
• a cap having a size and shape to selectively encompass a lid pivotally coupled to the outwardly projecting handle and including a rear end with a fastener thereon extending out from the lid, over the outwardly projecting handle and into select attachment and retention with the outer attachment strip of the tab such that the skirt, the panel section, the attachment flaps, the lip, the tab, and the cap cooperate to substantially cover the container, including in and around the outwardly projecting handle, while simultaneously permitting pivoting movement of the lid relative to the handle without interference from the cover.

A cover for a container having an outwardly projecting handle, comprising:

• a skirt having a front panel section and a pair of attachment flaps for at least partially wrapping around the container, wherein each of the attachment flaps include an upper attachment strip;
• an inner attachment strip coupled to one of the pair of attachment flaps and an outer attachment strip coupled to another of the pair of attachment flaps, the inner and outer attachment strips being selectively engageable with one another to retain the skirt around the container and below the outwardly projecting handle;
• a lip projecting inwardly about an upper periphery of the skirt and having a size and shape relatively smaller than an upper rim of the container, the lip being configured for slide-on engagement and support by the rim;
• a tab downwardly extending from the lip underneath the outwardly projecting handle and including a lower attachment strip for select engagement with the upper attachment strip;
• and
• a cap having a size and shape to selectively encompass a lid pivotally coupled to the outwardly projecting handle and including a fastener extending out from the lid, over the outwardly projecting handle and into select attachment with the tab, a portion of an outer periphery of the cap being selectively expandable and/or contractible about the lid, wherein the skirt, the front panel section, the pair of attachment flaps, the lip, the tab, and the cap cooperate to substantially cover the container, including in and around the outwardly projecting handle, while simultaneously permitting pivoting movement of the lid relative to the handle.
