Problems solved by technology

Currently there are no devices to facilitate the support of a container while being filled from an apparatus such as an urn and the carrying of such container after filling.
Without support, a container, when filled from an apparatus such as an urn can become heavy and difficult to hold.
Further, grasping of a container filled with hot liquids is generally difficult due to the hot surface.
Losing hold of the container can result in spillage and burns.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a container suspension device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Tools such as carrying handles and bottle carriers are commonly used to facilitate the carrying and transport of large bottles or other liquid containers by hand. Currently there are no devices to facilitate the support of a container while being filled from an apparatus such as an urn and the carrying of such container after filling.[0003]Without support, a container, when filled from an apparatus such as an urn can become heavy and difficult to hold. Further, grasping of a container filled with hot liquids is generally difficult due to the hot surface. Losing hold of the container can result in spillage and burns. A device to facilitate the support of a container, especially one which is to be filled or has been filled with hot liquids, will permit the safe handling of such a container.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention relates to a device fo...
