[001] The present invention relates to home/kitchen appliances, and more particularly to a jar with handle.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART:
[002] Mostly the Jar & handle of any appliances are fixed using screws & nut, or clamp is welded on the outer surface of jar, and then handle is fixed on welded clamp. This leads the protrusion of head of screw on inside surface of Jar or welding marks on the surface. Further, deposition of food particle between the head of screw & hole in the jar occurs, which is non-hygienic in nature. The sharp edge on screw head or bur on the hole of metal jar is unfriendly for cleaning of inside surface of jars. Through hole in jars used for handle mounting with help of screw / nut may leads to jar leakage. During welding there are chances of getting through hole resulting in leakage in jar. A novel designed jar for a kitchen appliance is desired in view of the drawbacks associated with the conventional art.
[003] United States Patent Publication No. US5988419 provides - A glass container 30 includes a container portion 34 and a handle 44. The container portion 34 is formed with a base floor 36, a side wall 38 and an opening 40 surrounded by an edge 42 which is formed with a pouring lip 46. The handle 44 is formed by two shell sections 52 and 54 which are assembled and secured, mechanically and adhesively, about a glass support 48 which is formed integrally with the glass container portion 34. A soft, non-slip attachment 110 is secured to an inboard side of the exterior of the handle 44.
[004] US Patent Publication No. US20160288958 provides - A handle assembly for grippably engaging a container, and methods for making and using such a handle assembly, whereby the handle assembly is adjustable between a collapsed condition and an extended condition in which the handle assembly provides a grippable element for grippably engaging the container.
[005] US Patent Publication No. US5647624 provides - An adhesive bottle handle comprising a flat base and two grips that rise out of the base. The flat base
is coated with adhesive on one side for attachment to a bottle. The two grips can be raised out of the base for usage or lowered back into the base for storage or shipping purposes.
[006] US Patent Publication No. US5951076 provides - A one-piece plastic handle is adapted for attachment to a sidewall of a container, such as a bottle, to enable a consumer to easily lift and carry the container with one hand. The handle is formed from an elongated handle section having first and second arms which extend from opposite ends of the handle section to form generally an I-shape. When secured to a bottle, the underside of the arms are adhesively secured to the sidewall of the bottle in areas beyond the limits of a label applied to the sidewall of the bottle. A pair of opposed arcuate legs are formed along the length of the handle section between the first and second arms and define reverse bend struts. When the container is not being lifted, the handle section and the opposed arcuate legs lie flat against the sidewall of the container. When a load is placed on the handle section, the arcuate legs generally straighten and the reverse bend struts move toward each other to effectively increase the length of the handle section to permit a hand to be inserted between the handle section and the sidewall of the container so that the container can be easily lifted and carried. The opposed arcuate legs can be formed by a pair of arcuate cuts connected together by an elongated cut in the handle section. Alternatively, a cutout can form the opposed arcuate legs.
[007] US Patent Publication No. US20110226724 provides - A handled container and method of manufacturing the same using radiation energy, such as ultraviolet light, visible light, electron beam and the like, to cure a corresponding adhesive for attaching plastic handles or other functional and/or decorative items to plastic containers. The container of the present teachings, unlike conventional containers, provided an improved and reliable handle arrangement, thereby permitting more complex handle shapes without substantially effecting manufacturing costs and complexity.
[008] However, the aforementioned prior arts provide conventional solutions having operation and function that are not similar to the subject matter of the present disclosure.
