Concentric handle for holding knife inside jar
A concentric handle for hand spreading is held in a container. A circular disc is shaped to be concentrically press fit into a circular top mouth opening of the container. The circular disc forms a handle for grasping by fingers of a user. A spreader is integrally formed in the disc extending downward. An upper outer flanged circular ring is integrally formed in the disc to prevent the disc from fitting too deeply into the circular top mouth opening. A lower seal beneath the upper outer flanged circular ring extends around a lower perimeter of the circular disc and positioned between the circular disc and a top edge of the circular top mouth opening of the container. The lower seal can have a grab tab. The circular disc can have a vent hole and a flexible membrane fixed over the vent hole.
1. A concentric handle adapted to be held in a container, comprising:
a circular disc shaped to be concentrically fit into a circular top mouth opening of an inside annular surface of a container, the circular disc forms a grip for grasping by fingers of a user, and the circular disc comprising
a spreader of a substantially flat shape integrally formed with the circular disc and downwardly extending from the circular disc to a bottom tip of the spreader; and
an upper outer flanged circular ring integrally formed with the circular disc to prevent the circular disc from fitting too deeply into the circular top mouth opening, and
a lower seal beneath the upper outer flanged circular ring and extending around a lower perimeter of the circular disc and positioned between the circular disc and a top edge of the circular top mouth opening of the container, wherein the lower seal comprises a grab tab.
2. A concentric handle according to claim 1 , wherein the circular disc comprises a grab tab, wherein the grab tab has a fold to fit under a lid of the container.
3. A concentric handle according to claim 2 , wherein the fold of the grab tab extends beyond an outer perimeter of the circular disc no further than a thread depth of the lid and the container.
4. A concentric handle according to claim 1 , wherein the circular disc is composed of a vent-less solid disc.
5. A concentric handle adapted to be held in a container, comprising:
a circular disc shaped to be concentrically fit into a circular top mouth opening of an inside annular surface of a container, the circular disc forms a grip for grasping by fingers of a user, and the circular disc comprising
a spreader of a substantially flat shape integrally formed with the circular disc and downwardly extending from the circular disc to a bottom tip of the spreader; and
an upper outer flanged circular ring integrally formed with the circular disc to prevent the circular disc from fitting too deeply into the circular top mouth opening, and
wherein the circular disc comprises a vent hole and a flexible membrane fixed over the vent hole.
6. A concentric handle according to claim 5 , further comprising a lower seal beneath the upper outer flanged circular ring and extending around a lower perimeter of the circular disc and positioned between the circular disc and a top edge of the circular top mouth opening of the container.
7. A concentric handle according to claim 6 , wherein the circular disc comprises a grab tab.
8. A concentric handle according to claim 6 , wherein the lower seal comprises a sticky adhesive material.
9. A concentric handle according to claim 5 , wherein the flexible membrane has text artwork on a top surface of the flexible membrane.
10. A concentric handle according to claim 5 , wherein an upper surface of the circular disc has a protruding ridge meshing with the flexible membrane and providing an air gap between the vent hole and the flexible membrane.
11. A concentric handle according to claim 5 , wherein the circular disc comprises a concave top surface providing an air gap between the vent hole and the flexible membrane.
12. A concentric handle according to claim 5 , wherein the vent hole comprises two finger holes and the flexible membrane fixed over the two finger holes.
13. A concentric handle according to claim 12 , wherein the flexible membrane comprises a grab tab.
14. A concentric handle according to claim 5 , wherein an outside perimeter of the circular disc forms the grip for grasping by the fingers of a user.
15. A concentric handle according to claim 5 , wherein the vent hole in the circular disc is an open ring with the spreader integrally formed extending below the open ring.
16. A concentric handle according to claim 15 , further comprising
a lower seal beneath the upper outer flanged circular ring and extending around a lower perimeter of the circular disc and positioned between the circular disc and a top edge of the circular top mouth opening of the container.
17. A concentric handle according to claim 16 , wherein the flexible membrane comprises a grab tab.
