(under subclass 752) Subject matter including a container in combination with a handle wherein the handle can assume different orientations with respect to the container and further including structure which will positively maintain the handle in at least one orientation.

(1) Note. A handle which stays in a position solely by the force of gravity is not proper for this subclass.
