AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes containers or bottles with new handles that users can carry with one or more fingers, making it easier to carry other items at the same time. These handles help prevent heat or cold transfer to the user from the contents of the container and minimize the concerns caused by condensation. Additionally, the lid allows the container or bottle to be attached to other items like bags and belts for convenient hands-free transportation.

Problems solved by technology

People can carry containers or bottles by grasping the container itself or by grasping the container or bottle from the top, often around the lid / closure This can be cumbersome, especially if the user also needs to carry other items at the same time.

It can also be uncomfortable due to cooling / heating of the container or bottle due to the temperature of the contained contents When contents of the container or bottle are cold and the container or bottle is used in a humid environment, condensation on the outside of the container may make the container wet and slippery to hold.

However, the flexible strap and loop do not have satisfactory finger accommodativeness, particularly when the user wears a heavy glove.

However, the bail handle does not have satisfactory finger accommodativeness either, particularly when the user wears a heavy glove.

However, it does not afford sufficient room to accommodate fingers, particularly when the user wears a heavy glove.
