Container Handling System

摘要

A container handling system that has an ergonomic handle which can be releasably coupled to the rim of a container such as a paint can, allowing the user to carry and manipulate the container with one hand. When the container handling system is coupled to the rim of a container, the upper portion of the handle provides a lifting surface for the index finger, thumb and hand of the user providing leverage and reducing hand fatigue.
