(54) Container with displaceable handle


(57) A container (1) comprising: a container body (2), a lid (3), and at least one handle (4) where the ends (5) of the at least one handle (4) are pivotably connected to opposite sides of said container body (2). At least one end (5) of the at least one handle (4) is displaceable between a first position (8) and a second position (9). In this way, a container is provided where the effective length of the handle can be increased or decreased. Therefore, the handle can be made to assume different positions. In a first position, the handle is resting on the edge of the container whereby the handle is easily visible and accessible to the user. In another position, the handle is resting along the sides of the container allowing a user to access the contents of the container.
