  • Patent number: 4923235
    Abstract: A handle particularly for use with plastic grocery bags is disclosed. The bag is of the type having two side walls with openings near the top for carrying the bag. The elongate handle is substantially rigid and the ends of the handle have notches which receive edges of the side walls at the openings. The notches are shaped such that the handle will not accidentally separate from the bag when it is set down. In a preferred form, the handle is of thin plastic which is arcuate in transverse cross section and placed in the bag opening so that the convex side faces downwardly. An intermediate part of the handle can have two longitudinally-spaced openings to receive hanger hooks to facilitate carrying clothes in a clothes bag when traveling.

  • Patent number: 4714136
    Abstract: A ladder support is provided for use with an eavestrough or gutter. The support is mounted in the eavestrough without the necessity of using fasteners. It is also mostly concealed by the eavestrough and yet supports the ladder in spaced relationship thereto so that the ladder does not contact the eavestrough and cause damage to it. The ladder support includes two main legs having members at first ends adapted to engage the eavestrough at the juncture of a back wall and a bottom thereof with the legs being of sufficient length to extend above and beyond a front rim of the eavestrough. Second ends of the main legs have brackets for engaging the rails of the ladder to support it spaced from the eavestrough and to resist sideways movement. Outwardly-extending leg braces are affixed to intermediate portions of the main legs and have feet for engaging the interior of the rim for resisting movement of the main legs when a ladder is supported thereby.
