Ergonomic handle and structures operable in conjunction therewith
An ergonomic handle configuration has a larger diameter than known conventional handles. The handle is configured with a predetermined combination of convex and concave curvatures that combine in such a way as to mimic a curvature of a user's palm along an area of contact of the palm with the handle, as well as to mimic a curvature of a user's fingers when curled to grip the handle along an area of contact of the fingers with the handle, when a user grips the handle. In addition, implementations of the handle in combination with a container or implement can include a thumb rest that is specifically configured to engage a thumb of a user in a neutral posture thumb position when gripping the handle.
CONTAINER WITH ENCIRCLING GRAPHIC AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING
A process for producing a container is provided. The process includes fabricating a container body, providing a graphic about the periphery of the container body such that the graphic covers substantially all of the periphery of the container body, and fixedly mounting a handle to the container body after providing the graphic.
ERGONOMIC HANDLE
Included in the present disclosure is a container, including a wall extending in at least a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction and a base extending in at least a third direction and a fourth direction opposite the third direction. The container may include a handle extending in the fourth direction and including an interior and an exterior. The container may include an opening defined by at least a portion of the interior of the handle and a portion of the wall. The exterior of the handle may include a protrusion sized and configured to restably couple to a palm of the user. In some embodiments, the protrusion extends at least partially in the second direction and the fourth direction, and the protrusion curves away from the wall, and the protrusion tapers outward as it extends away from the opening thereby creating a tapered portion.
Dispensing assemblies and related methods
A dispensing assembly (100) for dispensing fluid generally includes a container (104) having a handle (126) located toward an upper portion of the container (104), and a sprayer (106) having an arm extending away from the sprayer. The arm (142) of the sprayer (106) defines a channel (158) configured to receive at least part of the handle (126) of the container (104) within the channel (158) to thereby couple the sprayer (106) to the container (104). Such a dispensing assembly (100) can be made by forming the container (104) with a handle (104) located toward an upper portion of the container (104), and forming the sprayer (106) with the arm (142) such that the arm (142) can be used to couple the sprayer (106) to the handle (126) of the container (104), where the arm (142) extends away from the sprayer (16) and defines the channel (158) for receiving at least part of the handle (126) of the container (104) into the channel (158).
BREAST MILK BUDDY
A breast milk or formula thermos is provided. The thermos assembly includes a body; a screw lid on top with a pour spout and a handle. The assembly allows the user to dispose the mother's milk inside the thermos before leaving the house and fed to the baby when desired. Furthermore, one can simply pour the milk from the thermos without needing to heat it.
ERGONOMIC HANDLE AND STRUCTURES OPERABLE IN CONJUNCTION THEREWITH
An ergonomic handle configuration has a larger diameter than known conventional handles. The handle is configured with a predetermined combination of convex and concave curvatures that combine in such a way as to mimic a curvature of a user's palm along an area of contact of the palm with the handle, as well as to mimic a curvature of a user's fingers when curled to grip the handle along an area of contact of the fingers with the handle, when a user grips the handle. In addition, implementations of the handle in combination with a container or implement can include a thumb rest that is specifically configured to engage a thumb of a user in a neutral posture thumb position when gripping the handle.
INSULATING CONTAINER
An assembly comprising a bucket body having vertical side walls wherein the vertical side walls extend upwards from a closed bottom base. A handle may be connected to the vertical side walls, and one or more ergonomically designed feet may be detachably connected to and extend beyond a bottom surface of the bottom base. Disclosed embodiments may provide an ergonomic grip portion integrally formed with the handle. The handle may be connected to the bucket body via a twist-lock connection assembly.
SHOWER DOOR GLASS PANE PACKAGING ASSEMBLY
A packaging assembly is provided with a base that is sized to receive at least one shower door glass pane. At least one shower door glass pane is received within the base. A handle is mounted to the base. A plurality of projections extends from a bottom surface of the base to rest upon an underlying support surface and to reduce friction between the packaging assembly and the underlying support surface. The base includes a box with an opening formed in opposed surfaces of the box to expose a portion of the at least one shower door glass pane.

Container and Manufacture of a Container
A method of manufacturing a container (1), comprising: providing a body (100) defining a chamber for storing a product and defining an opening through which the product is dispensable from the chamber; selecting a first structure (200) from a plurality of structures, each of the plurality of structures having a feature for forming part of an exterior surface of the container (1) when the respective structure is affixed to the body (100), the feature of the first structure (200) differing from the feature of another structure of the plurality of structures; and affixing to the body (100) the first structure (200) with the feature of the first structure forming part of the exterior surface of the container (1). Also disclosed are a container and a bundle or package of containers.
