Abstract A container handle attachment designed for use with disposable two and three liter plastic beverage containers, has a threaded spout with an integrally formed handle. A strap adapted to be received around the container is received through a slot in an end portion of the handle. The strap is provided with a buckle type fastener for securement around the disposable container. The threaded spout is provided with a pivotal closure seal which is spring biased to a closed position. In a second embodiment, an elongated handle mounting bar is formed integrally with the threaded spout and is adapted to extend along the length of the disposable container. A pair of VELCRO fastening strips are received through spaced slots in the handle mounting bar. The VELCRO straps are adapted to be secured around the disposable container. A handle is mounted for selective sliding adjustable movement along the length of the handle mounting bar, to compensate for the changing center of mass of the container as the contents are utilized.
A container handle attachment, comprising: internally threaded spout means; pivotal closure means on said spout means; an elongated handle mounting bar having a first end integrally formed with said spout means; a pair of elongated grooves extending along opposite side walls of said mounting bar; a generally U-shaped handle having a pair of free ends each provided with a "T"-slot groove forming opposed inwardly extending ribs received for sliding movement in said mounting bar side wall grooves; a pair of spaced transverse slots in said mounting bar; an elongated strap extending through each of said transverse slots; and a pair of elongated straps, each extending through one of said transverse slots, and each having opposite ends provided with cooperating hook and loop fasteners for securing said straps around a container.
