ABSTRACT:
A handle device for direct, singular attachment to a top rim of a container for extending the reach of a human hand between the fingers and thumb to enable the user to grasp a portion of the container with the fingers while reaching upward along the side wall of the container toward the top rim, and using the thumb with the handle device for engaging the top rim. The device includes an intermediate, elongated stem having clip-on structure attached at one end and configured for developing a snug fit across the top rim of the container to resist a downward force applied toward the base portion of the container. A thumb grip member is attached at the other end of the stem and is configured to enable the user to interlock a thumb therein. The combination of clip-on structure, stem and thumb grip member are dimensioned to extend from the top rim to an intermediate section of the container whereby the only force applied to the device is a downward force developed by pulling the thumb and attached grip member toward the base of the container. Accordingly, the hand becomes an integral part of the handle which actually supports the weight of the container and enhances control on the part of the user.
