Abstract
The present invention pertains to the field of bail mounting structures. The bail mounting device of the present invention provides for an essentially non-removable bail. This non-removability is accomplished by a bail mounting device comprising an elongated planar member, an aperture in the planar member, a recess on the planar member concentric with the aperture, and a retaining means positioned in the recess for securing the bail into the mounting device. The mounting device is positioned in a mounting receptacle on a container. The bail is inserted through an aperture in the outer wall of the receptacle, through the elongated planar member, through the retaining means and finally nesting in a recess in the wall of the container, thus, providing a virtually non-removable bail for a container.
