Benefits of technology

The patent text describes the use of foot-handholds on containers to provide strong hold-down for secure handling and maneuvering of the containers. The triangular touch point to the ground created by the configuration of pairs of handhold in different wall planes prevents tipping of the container and adds a valuable handhold element for a single user. The added handhold element also becomes a tie-down location for when the container is upright, flipped, or on its side.

Problems solved by technology

In these instances, the container has a tendency to tip over, which is inconvenient, messy, and potentially hazardous.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]The use of paired foot-handholds in portable containers of all types has significance for the following reasons:

[0031]For a trash bag which is vacuumed sealed to the inside of a trash receptacle;

[0032]For two or more containers which are nested together and cannot be separated;

[0033]For the removal a tight fitting lid from portable buckets and trash receptacles;

[0034]For the removal of living beings from portable tubs, such as a dog or cat, farm animal, or a bathing, slippery baby;

[0035]For the addition or removal of slippery food items, such as live seafood, from large food safe containers;

[0036]For having only one available hand to use when engaging with container contents;

[0037]For placing long or top-heavy objects into containers, while trying to balance said objects;

[0038]To avoid touching an unsanitary container;

[0039]To avoid touching an extremely hot or extremely cold container;

[0040]To avoid touching a hazardous or reactive container;

[0041]For tying down the container...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16 / 390,304 filed on Apr. 22, 2019.BACKGROUND OF INVENTIONField of the invention[0002]Portable ContainersDescription of Related Art[0003]application Ser. No 16 / 385,995 and application Ser. No. 16 / 390,304BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]Portable containers are often formed of lightweight materials such as plastic, which lacks the ballast needed to stabilize the container when items are added, removed, or when lids are lifted off. In these instances, the container has a tendency to tip over, which is inconvenient, messy, and potentially hazardous. Additionally, most portable containers only have handles at the top of the container, while few are located at the bottom.[0005]The present invention generally relates to sloped, portable container design and, more particularly, to pairs of wall-orifice foot-handholds (different x, y wall planes, accessible...
