Abstract
A holder for a container which is attached to the side of the container. The holder has an outer wall and an inner wall defining a chamber therebetween with an opening to the chamber. The user's hand is inserted in the opening such that a forceful grip is not required to pick up and hold the container. The holder is electromagnetically welded or otherwise joined to the container. The holder is formed on a zarf. A two handed holder for the container permits both hands of the user to hold the container with a forceful grip not required.
Claims19
A non-grip handle adapted to be attached to an outer wall of a container, the container to be held and controlled by the hand of a human user, the handle comprising:
- an upper leg, a lower leg and a wall therebetween, the handle being disposed radially of the outer wall of the container, a chamber having an opening formed between the handle and the outer wall of the container, the chamber having dimensions to accommodate the hand of the user, the chamber being closed at a point distal from the opening,
- a depression being formed in the upper leg near the opening, whereby when the user's hand is inserted in the opening and received in the chamber, the user's hand is substantially in a natural, at rest, open position with the palm and the extended fingers of the user's hand being around the outer wall of the container and the user's thumb being supported in the depression such that a forceful grip is not necessary to pick up, hold and use the container.
A non-grip handle adapted to be attached to an outer wall of a container, the container to be held and controlled by the hand of a human user, the container having an outer wall, the handle comprising:
- an upper leg, a lower leg and a wall therebetween, the handle being disposed radially of the outer wall of the container, a chamber having an opening formed between the handle and the outer wall of the container, the chamber having dimensions to accommodate the hand of the user, the chamber being closed at a point distal from the opening,
- a plurality of spaced apart openings being formed in the lower leg of the handle to permit drainage of liquid from the handle, whereby, when the user's hand is inserted in the opening and received in the chamber, the user's hand is substantially in a natural, at rest, open position with the palm and the extended fingers of the user's hand being around the outer wall of the container such that a forceful grip is not necessary to pick up and hold the container.
A non-grip handle adapted to be attached to an outer wall of a container, the container to be held and controlled by the hand of a human user, the container having an outer wall, the handle comprising:
- an upper leg, a lower leg and a wall therebetween, the legs being perpendicular to the outer wall of the container forming a U-shaped cross-section, the handle being disposed radially of the outer wall of the container, a chamber having an opening formed between the handle and the outer wall of the container such that the opening has a face in a plane perpendicular to the outer wall of the container,
- the chamber having dimensions to accommodate the hand of the user,
- the chamber being closed at a point distal from the opening,
- a plurality of spaced-apart openings being formed in the lower leg of the handle to permit drainage of liquid from the handle,
- a depression being formed in the upper leg near the opening, whereby, when the user's hand is inserted in the opening and received in the chamber, the user's hand is substantially in a natural, at rest, open position with the palm and the extended fingers of the user's hand being around the outer wall of the container and the user's thumb being supported in the depression such that a forceful grip is not necessary to pick up, hold and use the container.
