Abstract: A sanitary wrapping for covering the handles of shopping carts is provided. The wrapping may be provided either in the form of a portable wrapping which can be carried from store to store by the individual shopper and attached to the handles of shopping carts in the store by various adhesive arrangements along the edges or as disposable or recyclable coverings obtained and used in each store. The preferred fastening means takes the form of so-called Velcro fastened wrappers. Various improvements of the basic tubular sanitary protection can be provided, including the use of flaps on the ends to cover more of the handle and sides of the shopping cart, plus slits in the structure of the handle covering so it can be adapted to handles of various lengths. A preferred form incorporates a coupon pouch into which the entire covering may be folded for storage or transportation.
