Fingerloop tote handle, container assembly and related methods

摘要

A fingerloop tote handle for a container includes a tote ring and a handle connected via a tether member for assisting a user in carrying the container. The container includes a first rib projecting outwardly therefrom. The tote ring engages the first rib of the container, and the handle has a top surface and an aperture extending therethrough, with the aperture being defined as a pair of opposing and connecting major arcs configured for receiving a pair of adjacent fingers of the user. The top surface has a beveled edge adjacent to and surrounding the aperture. The tether member extends between and connects the tote ring and the handle such that the tether member radially outwardly supports the handle relative to the container.
