Detachable extension handle

Abstract

The present invention is an extension handle for use with containers having a pour spout. The extension handle consists of an elongated member having opposite first and second ends, with a spout retaining ring formed towards the first end and a handle formed towards the second end. The elongated member preferably consists of a flexible web like material which is sufficiently long to wrap at least part way around the outside of the container. The spout retaining ring may consist, of an aperture dimensioned to receive the spout. To accommodate containers of different sizes, the web may be provided with several apertures positioned adjacent each other towards the first end. The handle portion may be formed from a simple aperture positioned adjacent the second end of the web. The invention is well suited for use with gasoline containers, and provides the user with a mechanical advantage to aid in tilting the container to empty its contents.
