Abstract
An open topped container (1) for liquids such as paint, which container is provided with a pivotally mounted carrying handle (5), wherein the handle is pivotally mounted substantially off-centre with respect to the container body (2), whereby when a user holds the container suspended by the handle (5), at least a major part of the open top of the container (1) is unobstructed by the presence of the handle (5) and the user's hand. A wide pouring channel (9) is provided located so that any paint left on the channel (9) after pouring drains back into the container (1) as the container (1) is subsequently held by the handle (5) in readiness for painting.
Description
WO 91)/11228 P~/GB90/00421 A CONTAINER l-OR LIQUIDS
.~ ., This invention relates to conl:ainers for liq~lids, particularly, but not exclusively, for surface coating materials, such as paint.
The invention is concerned with the problem of making handled paint containers, for example, more practical in use.
The container of the present invention comprises an open-topped container body closable by a lid and provided with a pivotally mounted carrying handle at the open top characterised in that the handle is mounted substantially off-centre with respect to the container body so that when a user holds the container suspended by the handle at least a major part of the open top of the container is unobstructed . by ~the presence of the handle and the users hand.
. , -i n a preferred form of the invention the container is formed at its lip region to have a pouring channel located so that when the user holds the con~ainer suspended by the handle, the container tips away from the pouring channel. If it is then required to pour the contents From the container the handle can be taken in one ;~
hand and the other hand used to tilt the corltainer for pouring below the handle.
, : . .
The container body may be formed in two parts, namely a lower base par t and an upper shroud part providing a iocation for : ~ : 8UE~;TITUTE: SH~:ET
WO 90/11228 PCr/CB~O/OQ42 handle pivoting, a pouring spout, and a lid aperture. The structure above described is of merit especially with a container having an approximate square or rectangular section so that the handle pivo~s are well spaced despite being off-centre and a reasonably wide pouring 5 channel is available.
The container may also include a linear brush wiping strip near its open top.
The shroud is preferably shaped to provide a srnooth outline with the base part and shaped to provide accommodation for the container handle entirely within the confines of the snroud.
In a preferred form of the invention the container body is transparent or translucent, to render the contents visi~le, while the shroud on the other hand is pigmented to serve an identification function .

:
A plastics paint container l according to the invention has a body 2 which is made from PET plastics material. The body 2 is generally rectangular, in horizontat section, with rounded corners;
10 this configuration provides for comparatively wide and flat display areas on the container side walls, a wide pouring channel, and well spaced pivots for the container handle. The square shape lends itself to correct and uniform orientation of the containers when they are stacked or placed in rows at the point of sale. The upper p3rt of the container comprises a separately formed plastics shroud 3, firmly secured to the body 2. The outside surFace of the shroud is flush with the outside surface of the container body so that the shroud forms a smooth upward continuation of the body, whilst , internally the shroud defines a circular opening to receive a plug-like 20 lid 4 for the container. A carrying handle 5 of the container is pivotally mounted to the shroud.

WO 9û/1 122~ PCr/Gn~O/004~1 : i --4--The handle 5 is mounted displaced laterally relative to the vertical centre plane of the container at pivots 5a, so that when the container is in use, suspended from the handle, as seen in Figure 3, the container hangs in a position tipped away from the handle and the user's hand, typically at about 15 to the vertical, with the result that the surface of the paint in the container is open to access by a brush 7 to a substantiaily greater degree than it would be if the handle had been centrally mounted.
The shroud is formed with a recess 8 to receive the handle 10 when the latter is not in use, so that the handle is stowed entirely within the surface of the shroud, thus facilitating stacking and storage of the cQntainer.
. .
The shroud is formed with a pouring channel 9 cn the same side of the vertical centre plane as the handie, so that the pouring channel is on the opposite side from that towards which the container tips when suspended by its handle. This also gives drainage back into the container when used after pouring.
' A brush wiping member 10 ~Fig. 3) is incorporated in the shroud. The member comprises an inner, chord-like, bar 11 whose edge defines a linear brush wiping sur~ace, and a sector-like body portion 12 by way of which it is mounted to the shroud. In a preferred modification the member 10 is is shaped so ~hat a stl-aight central part of ~he bar 11 is elevated above the encis of the bar ~W~ST~T~

Referring to Figure 5, a recess 13 is provided around the base of the container body, to facilitate handling but the central area 14 of the base projects downwardly to substantially the same plane as 5 the edges 15, 50 as to provide a central surface on which the container can rest if it is stacked on top of another such conlainer in an off-centre position.
Figure 6 shows a modification in which the handle 5, when in its stowed position, is received in a recess 16 defined in the upper 10 side of the shroud, rather than in its top surface. Slots 17 are provided around the lid opening, for the insertion of a tool such as a screw-driver to lever out the lid 18, which in this embodiment i5 provided with an outwardly directed rim for this purpose. In the .
embodiment of Figures 1 to 5 the lid has an inwardly direct-d rim 15 to enable it to be removed manually by the user.
