Storing container with side wall having gripping handles

摘要

A storage container (10) with a sidewall (12), top wall (18) and bottom wall (24) has the sidewall (12) formed with a peripheral shape which permits grasping by the user. At two opposite points the sidewall thickness is reduced to form areas (52) of increased flexibility. The user grips the container by placing the palm over the part of the sidewall (12) between the areas (52) with the fingers and thumb, respectively, on the opposed areas (52) of increased flexibility. Exerting gripping pressure deforms the sidewall (12) at the spaced areas (52), creating the impression of a handle in the container sidewall, and improving the reliability of the grip on the container.
