ABSTRACT:
A one-piece plastic handle is adapted for attachment to a sidewall of a container, such as a bottle, to enable a consumer to easily lift and carry the container with one hand. The handle is formed from an elongated handle section having first and second arms which extend from opposite ends of the handle section to form generally an I-shape. When secured to a bottle, the underside of the arms are adhesively secured to the sidewall of the bottle in areas beyond the limits of a label applied to the sidewall of the bottle. A pair of opposed arcuate legs are formed along the length of the handle section between the first and second arms and define reverse bend struts. When the container is not being lifted, the handle section and the opposed arcuate legs lie flat against the sidewall of the container. When a load is placed on the handle section, the arcuate legs generally straighten and the reverse bend struts move toward each other to effectively increase the length of the handle section to permit a hand to be inserted between the handle section and the sidewall of the container so that the container can be easily lifted and carried. The opposed arcuate legs can be formed by a pair of arcuate cuts connected together by an elongated cut in the handle section. Alternatively, a cutout can form the opposed arcuate legs.
