  • FIG. 10 is a horizontal sectional view of the bracket of FIG. 7;
  • FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the handle inserted into the slots on the brackets in a horizontal position.
  • Fig. 12 is a perspective view of the handle inserted into the slots on the brackets in an upright position.
  • a plastic system for securely attaching a movable plastic handle to a plastic container including, without limitation, a paint can.
  • the container may be cylindrical or any other shape suitable for a particular application.
  • the plastic in one embodiment may be polypropylene and the components described herein are formed by injection molding.
  • the system comprises a handle 1 that attaches to a pair of brackets 10 on the container 8.
  • the handle 1 which may be of unitary construction and made of plastic, comprises a strap 3 with tabs 2, 4 projecting from the strap near either end.
  • the brackets 10 are affixed to the exterior of the container 8 preferably opposite one another and comprise a slot 11.
  • the tab and slot are sized and shaped to allow the tab to pass with force through the slot in one orientation, but to interlock such that the tab cannot be removed from the slot in all other orientations, including when the handle 1 is in use in an upright position and bearing the load of the container 8.
  • the handle 1 comprises the strap 3 with tabs 2, 4 projecting from the strap 3 near either end.
  • each end of the strap 3 has a cap 5, 6 in which the tabs 2, 4 are located.
  • the ends of the strap 3 do not terminate in caps and the tabs 2, 4 project from the body of the strap itself.
  • the handle 1 is preferably symmetrical, with one end being a mirror image of the other, and therefore will be described with respect to one end only. It should be understood that such description is applicable to the corresponding features on the other end as well.
  • the strap 3 is sufficiently long with respect to the container to form an arc above it, when the tabs are attached to the brackets, preferably with sufficient clearance between strap 3 and the top of the container for a person to grasp the handle without interference from the top of the container.
  • the strap 3 may include a grip 7 near its center, on the side of the strap that will face the container when attached, for comfort and security of the user.
  • the tab 2 comprises a three-dimensional head B that tapers from a broader base F to a narrower top A.
  • the head B is attached to the strap 3 or cap 5 by a post C.
  • the cross section of the head B of the tab 2 may be of any shape that allows its insertion into the slot 11 of the bracket 10 in one orientation and which becomes interlocked with the bracket 10 at any other orientation, including without limitation an oval, rectangle or spheroid. This generally requires the cross section to have major and minor axes, with the major axis being longer than the minor axis.
  • the shapes described below are in all respects illustrative.
  • the head B is a cone or preferably a frustum.
  • the frustum may be regular or irregular and the cross section defining its base may be any shape which generally has a major axis longer than a minor axis including, for example, a rectangle, an oval, squoval or a spheroid.
  • the head B comprises a top A, opposing minor axis surfaces D defining the head's thickness in the direction of the minor axis, connected by opposing major axis surfaces E defining its width in the direction of the major axis.
  • the surfaces E of the head B taper from the broader base F to the narrower top A. As shown in FIG.
  • the thickness of the frustum need not be uniform from bottom to top and, in a preferred embodiment the thickness progressively decreases near the top A.
  • the cross section of the head B is rectangular and, in another embodiment, the shorter sides of the rectangle (in the direction of the minor axis) are convex.
  • the major axis surfaces E may be convex or arcuate.
  • the head B is of uniform cross section for some distance from the base F.
  • the minor axis surfaces D may be convex, such that the cross section at the base F of the frustum is a rectangle with rounded corners and approaches a circle at the top A.
  • the post C of the tab 2 may be substantially narrower than the width of the base F of the head B, and, in one embodiment, is circular in cross section.
  • the tab 2 may be solid and of unitary construction with the cap 5.
  • the cap 5 is preferably integral with the strap 3.
  • the cap 5 is sized and shaped to fit around - but move freely over - the bracket 10 on the container 8, when the handle 1 is attached to it.
  • the cap 5 comprises a floor 13 with two linear open sides between two opposing sidewalls 12, which may be defined by segments of a circle. When laid flat, the plane of the floor 13 may be substantially parallel with that of the strap 3 and offset from it by the height of the sidewall 12.
  • the tab 2 may project perpendicularly from the floor 13 and is preferably located on the floor in the center of the circle defining the sidewalls 12. As shown, the height of the tab 2 may be the same as that of the sidewalls.
  • the floor 13 may include cutouts or voids around the post C of the tab 2, as shown in FIGS. 4-6.
  • the brackets 10 are fixed to the outside surface of the container 8, and in some embodiments are molded integrally as part of the container. Another bracket (shown in FIGS. 11-12) is also fixed to the container, and in some embodiments is opposite the first bracket. Where the container is a cylinder, the brackets should be diametrically opposed.
  • the bracket 10 may be of any shape and construction sufficient to space the slot 11 from the outside surface of the container 8 by a distance at least slightly larger than the height of the head B of the tab 2.
  • the head B of the tab 2 and the slot 11 are sized and shaped to allow the head B in one position to be inserted into the slot 1 1 , but some force should be required to insert the head B into the slot 11. In one embodiment, at least ten pounds of force is required to insert the head B into the slot 11.
  • the slot 11 may be of any shape, but as with the cross section of the head B, the slot 11 should have a major axis defining its longest dimension and a minor axis defining its shortest dimension, with the major axis typically longer than the minor axis. Such shapes include an oval, squoval, rectangle or a spheroid. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the slot 11 is a rectangle with rounded corners.
  • the thickness of the head B is slightly narrower than the minor axis of the slot 11 , and the width of the head B at its base is slightly larger than the major axis of the slot 11, which requires force to insert the head B through the slot 11. In another embodiment, the thickness of the head B is slightly larger than the minor axis of the slot.
  • the head B is of unitary construction and is solid, i.e., of one piece. It is inserted through the slot 11 by centering the tab 2 over the slot 11 with the long axes of the head B and slot 11 aligned. The head B may then be pushed through the slot 11. After the head B of the tab 2 is inserted through the slot 11 , the post C may rotate freely in the slot 11 , with the base of the head B bearing against the inside of the slot 11 keeping the handle 1 connected to the container 8 when the handle is in use, for example as in FIG. 12 when the handle is in an upright position.
  • the long axis of the head B of the tab 2 (i.e., its width at the base) is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strap 3.
  • the long axis of the slot 11 is parallel to the base of the container 8. Therefore, the handle 1 must be parallel to the base of the container 8 for the head B of the tab 2 to be inserted into the slot 11 as shown in FIG. 11.
  • the handle 1 is irremovably connected to the container 8 by the interlocking of the tab 2 and slot 11.
