Patent attributes
A water bottle strap provides a manual engagement means for bottles or the like. A handle is defined from a substrate defining holes through which fingers or other digits may pass. The handle is held in tension along the side of the bottle by a top loop engaging the neck of the bottle and a base loop engaging the base of the bottle. The top loop and base loop are connected to the handle by means of upper and lower connecting segments, respectively. Each strap is generally made of flexible and resiliently stretchable material so as to snugly engage the water bottle in tension. A variety of materials can be used to provide an attractive or noticeable appearance as a bottle decoration as well as providing advantageous manual engagement means. Indicia or the like may be etched, written or engraved on the strap which may provide alternative grasping means by finger depressions separated by ridges defined along the outside of the handle.
