Claims10
A removable handle for a bottle, which comprises:
- a sleeve of substantially rigid but resiliently deformable material, having a cross-section which approximates the cross-section of the bottle with which it is to be used, but which is slightly smaller than said bottle in at least one cross-sectional dimension,
- said sleeve having an upper portion and a lower portion, said upper portion being less deformable than the lower portion thereof such that the sleeve can be slid over a bottle from above to fit over the body of a bottle and frictionally engage same with its interior against the exterior of the bottle over a surface area intermediate between the top and bottom of the bottle,
- means allowing resilient deformation of said sleeve, and
- a handgrip extending from the exterior of the sleeve.
