Abstract: A container for bearing liquid, or the like, is described in which a handle, formed separately from the container, is fixedly secured to the container by a projection formed at one longitudinal end of the handle member organized to be frictionally received in a recess formed in the exterior wall of the container and a particularly formed headed connector device at the other end of the handle member mechanically secured to an adjacent portion of the container wall surface. The projection and the connector device are so disposed with respect to the handle member and the container that the locking action between the respective components is enhanced by the weight of the contents of the container.
