Abstract
Abstract The universal grip device comprises a handgrip element provided, at one end thereof, with an engagement body which can be snap fitted onto the neck portion of a bottle. With the handgrip element there is associated, at the other end, a band element which is clampable ring-like and engageable with a portion of the lateral surface of said bottle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A universal grip device particularly for bottle-like containers with a cylindrical body portion and a neck formation at one end thereof, the device comprising: A handgrip element having an elongate handle like shape extending in a first plane and having a first free end and an opposite second free end thereof longitudinally at a distance from said first free end, a split ring formation on said first free end for snap engagement with the neck formation of the bottle-like container, a supporting formation on said second free end, a band element adapted to encircle the cylindrical body portion of the container and having closure means for maintaining a ring-like configuration defining a second plane of the band element, pivot means for pivotally connecting said band element to said supporting formation, said pivot means defining a pivot axis lying both in said first plane and in said second plane thereby allowing said band element and said handgrip element to assume relative angular positions ranging from a relative angular position in which said first and said second planes are parallel to each other up to a ralative angular position in which said first and said second planes are perpendicular to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
200 words
A universal grip device particularly for bottle-like containers with a cylindrical body portion and a neck formation at one end thereof, the device comprising: A handgrip element having an elongate handle like shape extending in a first plane and having a first free end and an opposite second free end thereof longitudinally at a distance from said first free end, a split ring formation on said first free end for snap engagement with the neck formation of the bottle-like container, a supporting formation on said second free end, a band element adapted to encircle the cylindrical body portion of the container and having closure means for maintaining a ring-like configuration defining a second plane of the band element, pivot means for pivotally connecting said band element to said supporting formation, said pivot means defining a pivot axis lying both in said first plane and in said second plane thereby allowing said band element and said handgrip element to assume relative angular positions ranging from a relative angular position in which said first and said second planes are parallel to each other up to a ralative angular position in which said first and said second planes are perpendicular to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said split ring has said split thereof facing in a direction transverse to said first plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said supporting formation includes an internally scored cup formation means for bottle opening operation.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
234 words
A universal grip device particularly for bottle-like containers with a cylindrical body portion and a neck formation at one end thereof, the device comprising: A handgrip element having an elongate handle like shape extending in a first plane and having a first free end and an opposite second free end thereof longitudinally at a distance from said first free end, a split ring formation on said first free end for snap engagement with the neck formation of the bottle-like container, a supporting formation on said second free end, a band element adapted to encircle the cylindrical body portion of the container and having closure means for maintaining a ring-like configuration defining a second plane of the band element, pivot means for pivotally connecting said band element to said supporting formation, said pivot means defining a pivot axis lying both in said first plane and in said second plane thereby allowing said band element and said handgrip element to assume relative angular positions ranging from a relative angular position in which said first and said second planes are parallel to each other up to a ralative angular position in which said first and said second planes are perpendicular to each other and wherein said split ring has said split thereof facing in a direction transverse to said first plane and wherein said supporting formation includes an internally scored cup formation means for bottle opening operation.
