    Abstract: A container support assembly that supports multiple containers simultaneously. The assembly includes a rod for supporting the containers. The cylindrical shape of the rod is configured for gripping. The rod is linear and rigid enough to support the weight of multiple containers from a pair of rod ends. The rod ends include a pair of support portions that receive and secure container handles. Each support portion includes smooth radius curves that minimize shearing of the handles. A proximal and a distal support portion lie opposite of each other, and include sloping angles that guide the container handles towards a narrow slit. A distal feeder surface positions higher than a proximal feeder surface to receive the container handle and provide a larger surface area for orienting the handle towards the proximal support portion and the slit. An aperture positions beneath the slit to restrict movement of the container handles.
