Definitions

  • Plastic containers are widely used commercially for a variety of products. These containers often include handles to assist with the dispensing of product.
  • handles may be integrally formed with the container, such as by stretch blow molding.
  • integral handle configurations can complicate the stretch blow molding process and some separately formed handles can be heavy and/or uncomfortable.
  • Some conventional flat bail handles can be uncomfortable to hold, particularly if the associated package is heavy. Comfort can sometimes be increased by providing thicker handles with the load spread over a wider area across a user's hand. However, providing comparatively thicker handles requires more material and increases the associate costs. Additionally, for some applications, the thickness of the handle can be limited, as it may need to fit within the available space between stacked containers.
  • FIG. 5 is a back view of the embodiment of a handle shown in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 7 is a left side view of the embodiment of a handle shown in FIG. 1 ;
  • the annular portion 20 may optionally include a plurality of support formations 64 connected to portions of the flange portion 52 .
  • a plurality of support formations 64 connected to portions of the flange portion 52 .
  • two support formations 64 are shown in connection with each radial segment 60 of the flange portion 52 .
  • the disclosure is not limited to the depicted configuration, and more or less support formations (as well as support formations having different sizes (lengths and/or thicknesses) as well as shapes) may be employed as desired.
  • a grip portion 40 may include a plurality of spaced apart formations or “fins” (e.g., fins 80 ) with grooves 82 provided adjacent opposite surfaces of the fins 80 .
  • fins spaced apart formations or “fins”
  • the grip portion 40 can have substantially similar overall (volume) dimensions to handles that are more comfortable for gripping, while employing significantly less material.
  • a grip portion may include a plurality of curved grip segments 90 .
  • four curved grip segments 90 are shown.
  • the curved grip portions 90 may be configured to approximate a finger size, or range of finger sizes, for a user.
  • the grip portion 40 may include a backbone 92 that generally runs the length of the grip portion 40 and provides a structure for support from which the plurality of fins 80 extend. Additionally, as generally shown in the FIG.
