Jug handle holder

Abstract

A jug handle holder especially adapted for releasably securing a pair of containers together for sale and transport as a two unit package includes an integrally molded plastic body provided with a handle forming aperture and a pair of spaced resilient clip portions dimensioned for engagement with handle portions of conventional containers such as those commonly employed for packaging and sale of milk, water, orange juice, and other products. Predetermined handle length in conjunction with angular orientation of the resilient clip portions facilitates installation and removal of the jug handle holder and allows securement of conventional jugs with a minimum of separation to conserve shelf space and stabilize relative jug and holder positions during transport. The jug handle holder includes enlarged thickness inner and outer peripheral walls joined by a reduced thickness web portion and a plurality of reinforcement struts to provide a high strength holder while consuming a minimum of plastic. The jug handle holder is sufficiently durable for reuse and its integrally molded plastic construction allows economical recycling at the end of its life cycle.
