Description
- Not Applicable.
- Not Applicable.
- 1. The Field of the Invention
- The present disclosure relates generally to liquid containers, and more particularly, but not necessarily entirely, to a removable handle for a liquid container.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Liquid containers come in various forms. One popular form of a liquid container is a plastic two-liter container. Two-liter containers are a commonly used for soft drinks, including carbonated soft drinks. These two-liter containers are produced from polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PET plastic, using a blow molding process. A two-liter container includes a cylindrical body and a necked portion. The top of the necked portion terminates with a male-threaded spout. A resealable screw-top mates with the male-threaded spout and allows the contents to be used at various times while retaining carbonation. Most modern-day two-liter containers are one piece with a base that is molded with a radial corrugation to provide strength for the bottom and the ability to stand upright. Further, most of the early two-liters had a separate opaque base glued to the hemispherical bottom of the clear polyethylene flask. This base had a coaxial corrugation and drain holes.
- One disadvantage to the use of two-liter liquid containers is that they are difficult to grasp due to the relatively large diameter of their cylindrical bodies. In particular, it is difficult to firmly grasp a two-liter is container especially when the container is full. This gripping problem is further aggravated in the case of women and children who tend to have smaller hands than men. Often times, individuals with smaller hands must utilize a two-handed technique, i.e., both of their hands, to pour a drink into a cup from a two-liter liquid container. This two-handed technique is undesirable since it increases the probability of spillage due to the cup tipping over since a hand is not available to steady the cup during pouring. Further, it is cost prohibitive to incorporate a handle into the design of two-liter liquid containers due to the relatively high cost for molding the same into a one time use container. Thus, there exists a need for an efficient and low-cost apparatus for attaching a removable and reusable handle to containers, such as liquid containers and other similarly shaped containers.

Theannular ring 12 includes aninner surface 14. Theinner surface 14 of thering 12 defines acircular area 16. The diameter of thecircular area 16 is just larger than the diameter of a liquid container (not shown inFIG. 1 ) for which thedevice 10 is designed. In this regards, it will be appreciated that the dimensions of thedevice 10 may be varied to accommodate liquid containers of various sizes. Typically, thedevice 10 is adapted to be used with a common two-liter liquid container, but may be used with liquid containers of different sizes and shapes. Thering 12 may be constructed from a rigid material such as plastic. However, thering 12 may also be constructed from a non-rigid material, such as a strap or other similar device. - Extending upwardly from the
ring 12 is ariser 18. The riser includes both alower end 20 and anupper end 22. Theriser 18 is attached to thering 12 at itslower end 20. Theupper end 22 of theriser 18 includes two spaced-apart projections, 22A and 22B, that form part of a hinge. The space between theprojections bore 24 extends laterally through each of theprojections bore 24 is configured to receive a pin (not explicitly shown). The pin also forms part of the hinge in conjunction withprojections - An
arm 26 includes alower portion 28. Extending downwardly from thelower portion 28 of thearm 26 is aprojection 30. Theprojection 30 is sized to fit into the slot formed between theprojections projection 30 also includes a lateral bore (not explicitly shown) that is capable of aligning with the bore through theprojections projection 30 into the space formed between theprojections bore 24 and the bore of theprojection 30. - It will be understood that the structures of the
projections arm 26 to pivot between an engaged position and an unengaged position with respect to a liquid container as shown by the double arrows (indicated by the reference numeral 32) and inFIG. 2 . - The
arm 26 may be of unitary construction. Formed in thearm 26 during manufacture is ahandhold 34. Thehandhold 34 is configured and adapted to receive a hand. Thehandhold 34 is formed in thearm 26 from a firstlateral extension 36 and a secondlateral extension 38. Extending between the first and secondlateral extensions elongated member 40. Theelongated member 40 serves as theactual handhold 34. The purpose of the first and secondlateral extension elongated member 40 from the liquid container when thedevice 10 is installed. This offset provides room for the fingers of a hand to pass underneath theelongated member 40. - Disposed on the upper end of the
arm 26 is a C-shapedmember 42. The C-shapedmember 42 includes two cantileveredarms arms FIG. 1 .Tips arms arms tips arms - An
inner surface 52 of the C-shapedmember 42 defines aspatial area 54 adapted to engage a necked portion of a liquid container. The spacing of thetips device 10 is designed. This allows the C-shapedmember 42 to engage the necked portion of a liquid container using a snap-fit mechanism. That is, as thetips arms spatial area 54. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , there is depicted thedevice 10 installed on aliquid container 60. Theliquid container 60 includes abody portion 62 and anecked portion 64. The first step to install thedevice 10 is to slidably engage thering 12 over thebody portion 62 of theliquid container 60. This may be accomplished by inserting thenecked portion 64 through thering 12. Thearm 26 should be maintained in approximately the position shown by thephantom arm 26A inFIG. 2 so as to not interfere with the installation process. Once thering 12 has been slid over thenecked portion 64 and down thebody portion 62 of theliquid container 60 to the correct height, thearm 26 is then rotated forward as shown by the arrow indicated with thereference numeral 66. - Referring now to both
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , as the C-shapedmember 42 engages thenecked portion 64 of theliquid container 60, the user may need to apply a force to thereby cause thetips tips necked portion 64 of theliquid container 60. Once thetips member 42 have flexed sufficiently outward, thenecked portion 64 of theliquid container 42 will slip into thespatial area 54 between the twoarms tips necked portion 64, will be restored to their original position due to the resilient nature of thearms inner surface 52 of the C-shapedmember 42 may engage thenecked portion 64 of theliquid container 60. Theinner surface 52 of the C-shapedmember 42 may be held tightly against thenecked portion 64 of theliquid container 60 due to the resilient nature of thearms - To disengage the C-shaped
member 42 from thenecked portion 64, thearm 26 is rotated away from thebody portion 62 of theliquid container 60. This may require a strong pull in order to separate thearms necked portion 64 is released from the C-shapedmember 42. It will be appreciated that the functions described above are commonly referred to as a snap-fit. That is, the C-shapedmember 42 engages thenecked portion 64 of theliquid container 60 via a snap-fit. Once the C-shapedmember 42 has been disengaged from thenecked portion 64 of theliquid container 60, thering 12 may be disengaged from thebody portion 62 of theliquid container 60 by sliding it off of thebody portion 62. Thedevice 10 may be reused on other liquid containers. - When installed onto the
liquid container 60, thedevice 10 provides a convenient handle for pouring and transporting theliquid container 60. Advantageously, thedevice 10 permits a user to pour a drink using only one hand. This allows the other hand of the user to hold a cup into which the liquid inside of theliquid container 60 is poured. When not in use, the hinged portion of thedevice 10 permits thedevice 10 to be collapsed or flattened such that thedevice 10 may easily fit into confined storage spaces, such as a drawer or cupboard. - In accordance with the features and combinations described above, a useful method of installing a handle onto a liquid container includes the steps of:
- (a) sliding a ringed portion of the handle onto a body of the liquid container; and
- (b) engaging a necked portion of the liquid container with a C-shaped member of the handle with a snap-fit.
- Those having ordinary skill in the relevant art will appreciate the advantages provided by the features of the present disclosure. For example, it is a feature of the present disclosure to provide a detachable handle to a liquid container.
