Abstract
A handle for a container includes a retaining portion for securing between a mounting band and an outer peripheral surface of the container. A holding portion extends from the retaining portion. A gripping portion extends from the holding portion. Wherein positioning the mounting band relative to an outer peripheral surface of a container and wedging the mounting band relative thereto secures the retaining portion of the handle relative to the container and permits a user to hold the holding portion and grip the gripping portion during use of the handle.
Claims19
A handle for a container comprising:
- a mounting band formed as a continuous loop for positioning on an outer peripheral surface of a container, the outer peripheral surface of the container being tapered inwardly from a top to a bottom of the container, the inside dimensions of the mounting band being greater than outside dimensions of the outer peripheral surface at the bottom of the container, and being less than or equal to the outside dimensions of the outer peripheral surface at the top of the container;
- said handle including:
- a retaining portion for securing between the mounting band and an outer peripheral surface of a container;
- a holding portion extending from the retaining portion;
- and
- a gripping portion extending from the holding portion;
- wherein positioning the mounting band relative to an outer peripheral surface of a container and wedging the mounting band relative thereto secures the retaining portion of the handle relative to the container and permits a user to hold the holding portion and grip the gripping portion during use of the handle.
A kit for permitting a handle to be attached to a container comprising:
- a mounting band adapted to be positioned on an outer peripheral surface of a container, the mounting band having an inner surface with a fixed length which is smaller than or equal to a peripheral length of the outer peripheral surface of the container near a top of the container;
- and
- a handle adapted to be positioned between the mounting band and an outer peripheral surface of a container, said handle including a retaining portion adapted to be secured between the mounting band and an outer peripheral surface of a container, a holding portion extending from the retaining portion and a gripping portion extending from the holding portion;
- wherein an operation to move the mounting band upwardly from a bottom of the container over the outer peripheral surface of the container until the mounting band wedges against the outer peripheral surface of the container near a top of the container acts to secure the mounting band and the retaining portion of the handle relative to the container and permits a user to hold the holding portion and grip the gripping portion during use of the handle.
A handle for a container comprising:
- a mounting band having a fixed length for tightly fitting around an outer peripheral surface of a container;
- said handle including:
- a retaining portion for securing between the mounting band and an outer peripheral surface of a container;
- a holding portion extending from the retaining portion;
- and
- a gripping portion extending from the holding portion;
- wherein positioning the mounting band relative to the outer peripheral surface of the container and wedging the mounting band upwardly relative thereto secures the retaining portion of the handle relative to the container and permits a user to hold the holding portion and grip the gripping portion during use of the handle.
