Abstract: A liquid container (10) includes a vessel (12) having a handle (14). The vessel (12) also has a spout (16) having a neck portion (30) extending from the vessel (12) to a ring portion (32). The spout (16) is aligned with the handle (14) and has a centerline (35) that is substantially disposed between two outer planes (37). The outer planes (37) pass through the outer limits of the spout (16) and the outer extremities of the handle (14). The centerline (35) also passes through handle (14) such that when the handle (14) is loosely gripped, the spout (16) is substantially below handle (14). This configuration allows a person to easily pour liquid from the container (10) and predict the direction in which the liquid will leave the spout (16). A pouch (70) is also disclosed for holding the container (10) while allowing the handle (14) of the container (10) to be accessible from the outside of the pouch (70).

Abstract: A container (20) includes a base portion (21) having a bottom surface (23), front (24) and rear (25) walls extending upwardly from the bottom surface (23), and opposed side walls (26) extending upwardly from the bottom surface (23) and, together with the front (24) and rear (25) walls, defining an open top. A cover (22) is provided to close the open top and may be selectively attached to the rear wall (25) by hinge assemblies (50) and to the front wall (24) by a latch mechanism (60). A side handle (85) is positioned in a recess (81) formed in each side wall (26) and may be pivoted from a position in the recesses (81) to the carrying position outside the recesses (81). Alternatively, a side handle assembly (101) is positioned in a recess (112) formed in a side wall (107) and wheels (111) can be located adjacent to the other side wall (108). The handle assembly (101) may be pivoted outside the recess (112) and its handle member (115) telescoped relative to the handle assembly (101) to extend the length thereof.

A track (37) on the upper surface (35) of the cover (22) may be received within a platform (43) on the lower surface (36) of the cover (22) of a like container (20) to stack the same.
