STORAGE CONTAINER WITH GRIPPING HANDLE SIDEWALL

摘要

A storage container with gripping handle sidewall. The container includes a sidewall, top wall and bottom wall. The sidewall is formed with a peripheral shape which permits grasping by the user. At two spaced points the sidewall thickness is reduced to form areas of increased flexibility. The portion between the areas remains at the original strength. The user grips the container by placing the palm over the area of original strength, with t he fingers and thumb, respectively, on the spaced areas of increased flexibilit y. Exerting gripping pressure deforms the sidewall at the spaced areas, creating the impression of a handle in the container sidewall, and improving the reliability of the grip on the container.
