ABSTRACT:
A container for one-handed transport and pouring of contents therefrom includes a vessel having an outlet with first and second handle assemblies pivotally mounted to the sides of the vessel. A first handle assembly includes a wire band having first and second ends pivotally mounted to opposed sides of the vessel at points forward of an imaginary vertical plane bisecting the vessel. An offset portion of the handle presents a grip displaced from the arcuate extent of the band. A second handle assembly includes a wire band having first and second ends pivotally mounted to opposed sides of the vessel and along the imaginary vertical plane. The band presents first and second loops about the legs of the offset portion of the first handle with the grip extending therebetween. In the normal transport position the grips of the handle are displaced one from the other. Upon a user urging of the grips one towards the other, as guided by the loops encircling the legs of the offset portion, the vessel is pivoted about the pivot mounting points so as to dispense the contents from the vessel. The handle assemblies are adaptable for use with various containers.
