"The Paint Can-dle"™ detachable, adjustable utility handle for quart size paint cans

摘要

The “Paint Can-dle™” is a unique, reusable, adjustable and versatile handle for quart size paint cans and more. Conventional pint and quart paint cans are typically sold without handles and while the pint size is easy enough for most people to handle, the quart size is larger and heavier which, when held for extended periods, often causes hand cramps and fatigue for many users. This inventive tool is comprised of a rigid handle, sized for quart paint cans, which attaches to a container with Velcro® like straps without need for bottom support. The handle includes a magnet for holding brushes etc. and the design allows can lids to be opened and closed while it is so attached, making the can easier and safer for everyone to handle, especially those with small hands or limited gripping ability.
