ABSTRACT:
A one-piece, molded plastic container (10) comprises a base (16) and a circumferential sidewall (20) extending upwardly from the base. The upper end (18) of the sidewall forms an open top of the container which is closed by a lid (19). A bail (14) for lifting and carrying the container is integrally molded with the container body in a mold (100). The ends of the bail attach to bosses (22a,22b) integrally molded therewith into the container sidewall. The spacing of the bosses is less than 180° in one direction about the circumference of the container, so the container, when lifted by the bail, does not hang vertically. A base section (14b) of the bail has a substantially uniform thickness throughout the length of the bail.
