  • CONTAINER HAVING A RELEASABLE HANDLE
    Publication number: 20080237245
    Abstract: A container is disclosed for carrying items via a releasable handle. According to one aspect, the container is formed as an assembly including a set of interconnected structural walls defining an enclosure, a through-hole formed in the enclosure, and a handle having a fixed end and a free end for coupling with the enclosure to form a looped handle. The enclosure has a first side, an opposed second side and an interior region, where the through-hole is formed in the first side of the enclosure. The proximal end of the handle is fixed with the second side of the enclosure and the distal end of the handle is configured for releasable coupling with the first side of the enclosure via the through-hole to form the handle into the looped configuration spanning between the first side and the second side for carrying the container assembly.
