ABSTRACT:
An ergonomic can carrier for allowing a person to transport and hold a container, such as a can of paint, in a comfortable fashion while simultaneously allowing ready access to the container contents with little likelihood of spillage. The can carrier includes a platform extending from the carrier body upon which the bottom of the container can be placed. A handle catch, which is provided on the body, receives the handle of the paint can and is designed in conjunction with the carrier platform such that retaining of the paint can handle within the catch holds the paint can on the platform. A handle extending from the body is designed to be conveniently gripped by a user to effect lifting of the container mounted to the carrier. In another embodiment, a container is held on the carrier platform by a second support member which is slidable along the carrier body to engage the top of the container and thereby effect a clamping of the container against the platform.
