Compound container

摘要

A compound container includes a container body having a side wall and a bottom wall; an interior space defined by the side wall and the end wall; an opening defined by an upper edge of the side wall; and an elongated hand support member having a first attachment section and a second attachment section for attaching the hand support member to a bottom surface of the bottom wall. The hand support member is positioned generally parallel to the opening defined by the upper edge of the side wall.

主权项

1. A compound container, comprising:
a container body having first and second end walls, first and second side walls extending along a longitudinal direction of the container body between the first and second end walls, and a bottom wall closing a bottom opening defined by the first and second end walls and the first and second side walls, the bottom wall having a width defined between the first and second side walls, a first corner being formed between the first side wall and the bottom wall, and a second corner being formed between the second side wall and the bottom wall; an interior space defined by the first and second end walls, the first and second side walls and the bottom wall; an opening defined by upper edges of the first and second side walls and the first and second end walls; an elongated hand support member extending in the longitudinal direction of the container body and attached to a bottom surface of the bottom wall; and two opposing stands located only at the first and second end walls of the container body, respectively and not at the side walls, the two opposing stands being sized to raise the bottom wall of the container body above a support surface on which the compound container is placed, and space the bottom wall away from the support surface, wherein the hand support member is positioned generally parallel to the opening defined by the upper edge of the side, and wherein the hand support member is positioned to allow a user's hand to extend between the hand support member and the bottom surface of the bottom wall, from a side close to the first side wall across the width of the bottom wall to a side close to the second side wall, thereby allowing the user's hand to wrap around the first and second corners and hold on outer surfaces of the first and second side walls to manipulate the orientation of the compound container.
