Abstract

The present disclosure provides a convenient reusable handle device for a beverage can, which firmly holds the beverage can and makes it easy to carry. The beverage can handle device comprises an upper or top portion, a middle or handle portion and a lower or base portion, where the shapes of the top and base portions of the beverage can handle device are matched to that of the top rim and bottom rim, respectively, of the beverage can, so as to engage and clasp securely the beverage can. The base of the beverage can handle device is configured to linearly traverse the bottom diameter of the beverage can in a single direction when the base is contracted and to linearly traverse the bottom diameter of the beverage can in two directions (e.g., substantially perpendicular directions in a “scissor hinge”) when the base is expanded.

Dependent claims

A C-shaped beverage can handle device that may be removably attached to a beverage can comprising:

a vertical handle portion forming a central portion of the C-shape, wherein the vertical handle portion is configured to run parallel to a height of the beverage can, and wherein the vertical handle portion comprises an internal facing surface proximal the beverage can when the beverage can handle device holds a beverage can and an external facing surface distal the beverage can when the beverage can handle device holds the beverage can;
a top portion coupled to the vertical handle portion at a top end of the vertical handle portion and generally perpendicular to the vertical handle portion, wherein the top portion comprises an internal facing surface proximal the beverage can when the beverage can handle device holds a beverage can and an external facing surface distal the beverage can when the beverage can handle device holds a beverage can, and wherein the internal facing surface of the top portion comprises a notch configured to secure a top rim of the beverage can;
and
a base coupled to the vertical handle portion at a bottom end of the vertical handle portion and generally perpendicular to the vertical handle portion and generally parallel to the top portion, wherein the base comprises rotatably coupled first and second base members, wherein each of the first and second base members comprises two base extensions, wherein each base extension comprises an internal facing surface proximal the beverage can when the beverage can handle device holds the beverage can and an external facing surface distal the beverage can when the beverage can handle device holds the beverage can, and wherein the internal facing surface of each base extension comprises a first and a second raised portion forming a notch therebetween wherein the notch is configured to secure a bottom rim of the beverage can.
