Abstract: A household liquid-dispensing container such as a drinking vessel or a jug comprising a vessel (30) that is configured to hold a liquid and that has a base (37) on which it can stand, an opening (39) and at least one side (38); and a handle (50) that is configured to be held by a user and that is attached to a side of the vessel (38) by a joint that forms a single gimbal between the handle (50) and the vessel (30) and that allows the handle (50) to pivot about a single axis (21) that extends directly above the centre of gravity of the vessel (30) when the vessel base (37) is standing on a horizontal surface: an optional baffle assembly (80) to reduce sloshing; and a lid (120).

Abstract: A lidded container comprising a container body with side walls, a bottom, and a top end with an opening comprising means to retain a lid, and an upstanding edge around the opening having its outer sides in line with the side walls of the container. The upstanding edge is provided with at least one recess, which preferably inclines over the width of the upstanding edge from the opening downwardly to the edge's outer sides.

Abstract: The arrangement is applied to a container which includes a peripheral side wall having an upper end portion and a lower end portion in which are applied respective end walls, each including a median panel and a peripheral skirt, one of the upper end portion and lower end portion and the peripheral skirt being provided with at least one circumferential rib turned to the other of said parts, the other part being provided with a circumferential groove conformed to be fitted onto the circumferential rib upon the fitting of said end wall in the interior of one of the upper end portion and lower end portion of the peripheral side wall, said circumferential rib and circumferential groove forming, therebetween, a circumferential gap (F) in the interior of which is compressed an elastic sealing element.

Abstract: This invention consists of an innovation in the means of holding and pouring liquid. This mechanically engineered invention is applied to manually operated containers that can hold a variety of hot or cold liquids. The main advantage lies in the fact that the user avoids any kind of wrist turning or elbow or arm lifting when pouring liquids with minimum manual effort required. This improvement does not only apply to people in good health but also to those who may suffer from some kind of motion disability. Basically, this concept proposes another way of pouring liquids improving ergonomic, operative and functional aspects.

Abstract: A cover-handle assembly for a kitchen vessel comprises a cover element having an outer central support element swingably housing plate gripping means which, in a rest position thereof, adjoin the surface of the cover element and, in a use position thereof, project with a slanted attitude from the cover element surface.

Abstract: An improved container for storing, dispensing and handling viscous and semi-viscous fluids such as paint and the like, having novel spout and other design features that enable substantially dripless dispensing and improved handling and storage.

Abstract: A waste container includes a handle rotatably mounted on the side wall. The handle includes a first grip at an outer end of a short arm and a second grip at the outer end of a long arm. The handle is rotatable relative to the waste container, between a first position where the first grip extends a first distance above an upper edge of the side wall of the waste container and a second position where the second grip extends a second distance above the upper edge of the side wall, with the second distance being substantially greater than the first distance. In this manner, the handle can be moved to the proper location for either pulling the waste container on its wheels or for emptying the waste container into the hopper of a truck.

Abstract: A handle assembly includes a mounting bracket and a handle. The mounting bracket supports the handle which can pivot relative to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes first and second mounting elements which prevent the handle from rotating more than approximately ninety degrees relative to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A blow molded article includes an outer wall and an article retaining feature projecting outwardly therefrom. The article retaining feature includes a distal wall and a side wall connecting the distal wall and the outer wall of the blow molded article. The side wall is generally orthogonal to the outer wall of the blow molded article, and an inner surface is defined at least partially by inner edges of the side wall, the distal wall and the outer wall of the blow molded article. The side wall has a hole integrally molded therein.

Abstract: A method of constructing a double-walled blow-molded article with a hinged handle is performed on an article comprising a receiving member and a pinned member. The receiving member is a double-walled blow-molded thermoplastic component having an outer wall, an inner wall, and an open-ended receptacle. The open ended receptacle is defined by an arcuate pocket positioned opposite the open end, a stationary wall extending from the pocket and facing generally in a first direction, and a deflecting wall positioned opposite the stationary wall and facing generally in a second direction opposite the first direction. The pinned member includes a cylindrical pin. The method comprises as a first step passing the cylindrical pin through the open end of the receptacle and into contact with the pocket.

Abstract: A container having a two position handle with one end of the handle being rotatably received over a post projecting integrally from the container. The handle is selectively and releasably locked into a container-overlying bail position and a pouring position extending along the side of the container. The container is closed by a removable cover threaded within the upper portion of the container and including a radially projecting tab closing the container spout upon a full seating of the cover.

Abstract: A device for holding and positioning a specimen cup for collection of a biological specimen with a ring (18) with a handle (14) attached by a hinge (24). The ring (18) receives and securely supports a specimen cup. The hinge (24) allows the handle (14) to assume folded or extended positions relative to the ring (18). The handle (14) extends outward and upward from the ring (18) when in use, thereby, removing one's hand from the specimen cup. One can then more easily hold and position the specimen cup without soiling their hand with the specimen. The hinge (24) also allows the handle (14) to be folded and secured to the ring (18) to facilitate packaging.

Abstract: An open topped container (1) for liquids such as paint, which container is provided with a pivotally mounted carrying handle(5), wherein the handle is pivotally mounted substantially off-center with respect to the container body (2), whereby when a user holds the container suspended by the handle (5), at least a major part of the open top of the container (1) is unobstructed by the presence of the handle (5) and the user's hand. A wide pouring channel (9) is provided located so that any paint left on the channel (9) after pouring drains back into the container (1) as the container (1) is subsequently held by the handle (5) in readiness for painting.
