Abstract:
1. A handle and lid combination for a container, comprising a handle with two parallel legs of resilient material connected together at their upper ends, their lower ends being bent towards one another at right angles to align with one another on a common axis and a lid with upper and lower sides and two vertical bores formed therethrough on opposite sides of the lid and respective horizontal bores in said lid, each intersecting one of said vertical bores at right angles and said horizontal bores being coaxially aligned with one another, wherein an upper part of each vertical bore, above its junction with the horizontal bore, also extends radially outwardly to the periphery of the lid and the lower part of each bore, below its junction with the horizontal bore, opens radially inwardly to the inside of the lid, whereby the resilient legs of the handle when pulled apart enable the turned-in legs to enter the respective horizontal bores on opposite sides of the lid and can be pushed together until the resilient leg extends within respective vertical bores, the lower openings of the vertical bores thereafter enabling the handle to be pushed downwardly through the lid to allow the inwardly turned portions of the legs subsequently to be received into corresponding opposed bores in an upper part of the container to form a pivoting handle with the lid retained thereon.
