Beverage bottle carrier and handle

Abstract

A beverage bottle carrier and handle which may be used with bottle as both a handle and a carrier. The invention includes a top ring having a circumference slightly smaller than the outside circumference of the bottle which is connected by a handle to a bottom ring having a circumference slightly smaller than the outside circumference of the bottle. The bottom ring is pushed down over the body of the bottle to a point below the midpoint of the bottle and the top ring is pushed down over the body of the bottle to a point above the midpoint of the bottle such that the handle may be used to manipulate the bottle. The bottom ring may be pushed to a point above the midpoint of the bottle and the handle then forms a loop which may be used to carry the bottle.

1 . A beverage bottle carrier and handle for use with a bottle, the bottle having a top and a bottom, comprising:
 (1) a top ring having a circumference slightly smaller than the circumference of the outside surface of the bottle, the top ring being flexible enough to be forced around said bottle;   (2) a handle which is affixed to one side of said top ring; and   (3) a bottom ring affixed to the end of the handle opposite said top ring and having a circumference slightly smaller than the circumference of the outside surface of said bottle, the bottom ring being flexible enough to be forced around said bottle to a position below said top ring.   
   
   
       2 . A beverage bottle carrier and handle for use with a bottle, the bottle having a top and a bottom, comprising:
 (1) a top ring having a circumference slightly smaller than the circumference of the outside surface of the bottle, the top ring being flexible enough to be forced around said bottle;   (2) a handle which is affixed to one side of said top ring; and   (3) a bottom ring affixed to the end of the handle opposite said top ring and having a circumference slightly smaller than the circumference of the outside surface of said bottle, the bottom ring being flexible enough to be forced around said bottle at a position below said top ring and slidable up and down the outer surface of said bottle;   
     whereby, said bottom ring may be forced over said bottle to a position above the midpoint of said bottle, said top ring may be forced down over said bottle to a position above said bottom ring such that said handle forms a loop which may be used as a carrier for said bottle and said bottom ring may be forced downward to a point below the midpoint of said bottle and said handle forms a handle which may be used to manipulate said bottle. 
   
   
       3 . The beverage bottle carrier and handle of  claim 2 ,in which a tab is affixed to said top ring which is capable of being grasped to assist in sliding said top ring up and down said bottle. 
   
   
       4 . The beverage bottle carrier and handle of  claim 2  in which a tab is affixed to said bottom ring which is capable of being grasped to assist in sliding said bottom ring up and down said bottle. 
   
   
       5 . The beverage bottle carrier and handle of  claim 3  in which a tab is affixed to said bottom ring which is capable of being grasped to assist in sliding said bottom ring up and down said bottle. 
   
   
       6 . The beverage bottle carrier and handle of  claim 4  in which a tab is affixed to said top ring which is capable of being grasped to assist in sliding said top ring up and down said bottle. 
   
   
       7 . A beverage bottle carrier and handle for use with a bottle, the bottle having a top and a bottom, comprising:
 (1) a top ring having a circumference the same size as the circumference of the outside surface of the bottle, the top ring being flexible enough to be forced around said bottle;   (2) a handle which is affixed to one side of said top ring; and   (3) a bottom ring affixed to the end of the handle opposite said top ring and having a circumference the same as the circumference of the outside surface of said bottle, the bottom ring being flexible enough to be forced around said bottle at a position below said top ring and slidable up and down the outer surface of said bottle;   
     whereby, said bottom ring may be forced over said bottle to a position above the midpoint of said bottle, said top ring may be forced down over said bottle to a position above said bottom ring such that said handle forms a loop which may be used as a carrier for said bottle and said bottom ring may be forced downward to a point below the midpoint of said bottle and said handle forms a handle which may be used to manipulate said bottle. 
   
   
       8 . The beverage bottle carrier and handle of  claim 7  in which a tab is affixed to said top ring which is capable of being grasped to assist in sliding said top ring up and down said bottle. 
   
   
       9 . The beverage bottle carrier and handle of  claim 7  in which a tab is affixed to said bottom ring which is capable of being grasped to assist in sliding said bottom ring up and down said bottle. 
   
   
       10 . The beverage bottle carrier and handle of  claim 8  in which a tab is affixed to said bottom ring which is capable of being grasped to assist in sliding said bottom ring up and down said bottle. 
   
   
       11 . The beverage bottle carrier and handle of  claim 9  in which a tab is affixed to said top ring which is capable of being grasped to assist in sliding said top ring up and down said bottle.
