Benefits of technology
In some embodiments, the grasping device can enable a wide variety of persons to pick up and pour from a bottle or container easily with one hand grasping the grasping sections or handles. The other hand can thus be free to, if desired, otherwise secure the bottle or container, hold the target in place, etc.
In some embodiments, the grasping device can be easily and readily engaged and disengaged from the bottle it is supporting. The grasping o

Yet, as most commonly sized, shaped, and manufactured, such bottles are often unwieldy and easily mishandled, spilled during use, etc.
The problem of handling bottles and containers, particularly large containers, is exacerbated when handled by children, the elderly, or people with a disability, such as, for example, stroke, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, injury, or other debilitating or impairing conditions.
Gross and fine motor limitations can make it especially difficult to lift, grasp, and pour bottles and containers.
Even for individuals without disabilities, the task of pouring from many types of bottles and containers

Embodiment Construction
With reference to FIGS. 1-3, one embodiment of a grasping device, generally 10, has a tubular flexible clasping section 12, two grasping sections 14, 16 extending outwardly from the clasping section 12, and a neck section 18 cooperatively formed of one or more curved phalanges 20 extending upward from the clasping section 12 and having a inwardly curved internal periphery in order to abut the outwardly curved upper shoulder section 22 of a typical two-liter soft drink bottle 24.
In one embodiment, tubular flexible clasping section 12 may be formed of a resilient material and have an inner surface generally corresponding to an outer surface of a bottle. The inner surface may be substantially cylindrical or may be many other shapes including, for example, rectangular for milk bottles.
In an embodiment, the grasping sections 14, 16 are somewhat U-shaped handles. Generally, grasping sections 14, 16 may include a passageway to allow a user to place one or two hands in a grasping configurat...

Abstract
A grasping device for grasping structures such as, for example, containers and bottles. The device facilitates the dexterous handling of these structures that otherwise would often require significant strength, gross and fine motor skill to manage, and especially to dispense the contents of in a controlled manner. The device may also facilitate one-handed operation, and may leave the second hand free to perform other tasks, such as, for example, securing a target container.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a grasping device and more particularly to a device for grasping structures such as, for example, containers and bottles.BACKGROUNDBottles continue to be the most cost effective way to buy (and sell) many liquids, such as soft drinks, detergents, and the like. Yet, as most commonly sized, shaped, and manufactured, such bottles are often unwieldy and easily mishandled, spilled during use, etc. This is especially (but not solely) so with regard to larger bottles, such as the common two-liter plastic bottle.The problem of handling bottles and containers, particularly large containers, is exacerbated when handled by children, the elderly, or people with a disability, such as, for example, stroke, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, injury, or other debilitating or impairing conditions. Gross and fine motor limitations can make it especially difficult to lift, grasp, and pour bottles and containers.Even for individuals without disabilitie...
