ABSTRACT:
A container lifter (2) is designed for use with a container (6) of the type having a body and a neck (4) extending from the body. The neck has an enlarged-diameter portion (24) and a reduced-diameter portion (28). The container lifter has a collar (8) which defines a collar opening (22) sized to permit the enlarged-diameter portion to pass therethrough. A keeper (14) is mounted to the collar for movement between a first position, spaced apart from the collar opening, and second position, partially covering the collar opening to define a reduced collar opening (26). The reduced collar opening is sized to permit the reduced-diameter portion to pass therethrough but prevent the enlarged-diameter portion from passing therethrough. The container lifter also includes a handle (32), extending from the collar, having a handgrip (34) which is generally centered on the reduced collar opening. This configuration helps to ensure that the collar and keeper properly engage the neck when the container lifter is used to pull the container generally horizontally or to lift the container generally vertically.
