Today in 1966, US Patent 3261635 A was issued, an invention of Michael F. Talay, for his “Beer Can Handle.” There’s no Abstract, although in the description it includes this summary:
This invention relates to an attachable and detachable handle for use with a conventional beer can.
The object of this invention is to provide a handle that is simple of construction and easy to manipulate for attachment and detachment to a beer can to facilitate the consumers holding and movement of the beer can in drinking the contents.
Pretty fancy. Now we are able to get plastic handles free from many beer events. I don’t think anyone would pay for this fancy model when the plastic handles work quite well.
Why would you even need one in the 1st place – talk about useless inventions!
