ABSTRACT:
A detachable handle adapted to engage a container, such as a paint can, formed with a continuous sidewall which terminates in a set of top and bottom peripheral edges separated one from the other by the sidewall. The handle comprises a generally C-shaped resilient body adapted for manual holding and defining an interior generally concave surface, a pair of edge engaging fingers fixed to the interior surface of the C-shaped body with each finger separated from the other so that both container edges can be engaged by the two fingers, and an elongated camming lever having a first end pivotally attached to the interior surface of the C-shaped body, and with an opposite end loosely positioned adjacent a different interior surface of the C-shaped body. The application of a manual gripping force between the camming lever and the curved body separates the edge engaging fingers one from the other by increasing their separation bite to release a container or alternatively to engage a container.
The handle includes a support platform fixed to the C-shaped body beyond the top edge engaging finger to project into an attached open container. The support platform may carry a tool which can be used as a paint scraper or as a paint brush cleaning tool. Alternatively, the support platform can be used to support a paint brush so that any paint dripping from the brush falls into an open container.
