Abstract

A plastic container includes a plastic bail-type handle. The ends of the handle include an improved bayonet-type connection. The connection has a solid cross section permitting it to withstand greater forces imposed on the handle. An elongated shoulder is also embodied in the connection for abutting engagement with an associated bail ear provided on the container.
