ABSTRACT:
A pail and bail in which the bail is molded integrally with the pail and includes a circular cross-section bead which extends around the pail coplanar with and spaced apart from the rim. The bead is connected to opposing sides of the pail either by a rib that has generally triangular fins which curve inwardly between two vertical flanges that project outwardly from the side wall of the pail, or by a single flange member that flares laterally outwardly and radially inward along a thin rectangular or flattened oval segment of the bail. When the handle segments of the bail are pivoted upwardly and inwardly toward one another to a position disposed above the open top of the pail, the entire bead forms a figure eight pattern with smoothly curving loops without creases or fold lines. The components connecting the bail to the pail will flex inwardly when the pail is loaded and supported by the bail. Tabs at the bottom of the flange members may interlock within recesses formed in the rim of the underlying pail to prevent rotation and facilitate separation. Ramps may be molded on the inner surface of the side wall to enhance denesting.
