An apparatus for forming a handle-equipped container comprises: a transport section 150 provided with a transport line 151, the transport line 151 alternately transporting a first transport jig 152 holding a preform, and a second transport jig 153 holding a container handle 20, the transport section 150 transporting the preform 200 and the container handle 20 to a blow molding section 140 along the transport line 151; and a supply section 160 for lowering the container handle 20, held in an inverted state, and supplying the container handle 20 to the second transport jig 153. The second transport jig 153 supports at least a pair of opposite side surfaces of the container handle 20.

A container may include a neck including an external surface and at least one handle retention feature with axially lower and upper handle retention surfaces. A handle for a container may include a collar including spaced apart container retention features having axially lower and upper container retention surfaces to cooperate with the corresponding handle retention feature of the container to prevent axial movement of the collar with respect to the container.

A container having a canister can be configured to retain a volume of liquid. The container can be sealed by a lid structure and the lid structure may include a rotatable handle. The container may further have a holder used to engage the container and the holder and container may be configured to lock to each other.

A gripping attachment (10) is disclosed which facilitates the handling of a medication bottle (12). The medication bottle includes a container (14) having a cylindrical wall (16) extending parallel to a longitudinal axis. The container is closed at one end by a base wall (18) and has an opposed open end. The container receives a cap (20) on the open end to enclose the container. The gripping attachment comprises a sleeve portion (22) having a sleeve wall (24) defining an internal, cylindrical surface configured to removably attach to the container wall. The gripping attachment further comprises a leverage component connected to the sleeve portion to facilitate gripping the sleeve portion.

A drinking container can include a reservoir and a lid assembly releasably coupled to the reservoir. The lid assembly can include a user activated mechanism coupled to a spout pusher and a spout configured to rotate between an open position and a closed position, and the spout can include a flexible sleeve and a spout hinge portion. In some embodiments, activating the user activated mechanism can cause the spout pusher to move toward the spout hinge portion and cause material molded over an end of the spout pusher to stretch and engage the spout hinge, and the flexible sleeve can apply a restoring force on the spout when the spout is dislodged from the closed position by the spout pusher engaging the spout hinge to rotate the spout to the open position.
