Handle and reseal for flanged bottle

An article which is a combined handle and reseal for use with a bottle of the type having a flange extending circumferentially around the neck of the bottle and spaced above the shoulder of the bottle, the article comprising in combination:

• attaching means for selectively removably attaching said article to the flange under control of a user;
• grip means connected to said attaching means and having an elongated shape conducive to being grasped by the user for manipulating the bottle;
• and
• reseal means movably connected to said attaching means for selectively sealing and unsealing the bottle under control of the user.

A handle which can be affixed to and removed from a bottle of the type having a flange extending circumferentially around the neck of the bottle, the flange having an upper surface and a lower surface, said handle comprising in combination:

• a body defining an aperture large enough for the portion of the neck of the bottle above the flange to extend into and further including grip means;
• seat means for preventing said body from passing down the neck of the bottle beyond the flange, projecting from said body inwardly into said aperture so as to rest on the upper surface of the flange after said handle has been affixed to the bottle;
• finger means for removably engaging said body to the flange, positioned on said body at a first circumferential location about said aperture, projecting inwardly into said aperture, and positioned lower than said finger means so as to extend under the flange adjacent the lower surface of the flange after said handle has been affixed to the bottle;
• and,
• latch means for selectively removably securing said handle to the flange, movably connected to said body and movable by a user to a position in which said latch means extends at a second circumferential location under the flange adjacent the lower surface of the flange.
