Abstract: A detachable grip supplements the handle pair of a single plastic bag, or the handle pairs of a number of bags. The grip has a bar which comfortably fits in the palm of the hand. One end of a cord (which cord could be wire, line, belt or cable) is permanently attached to one end of the bar. The other end of the cord has apparatus for removably latching itself to the other end of the bar, temporarily forming a closed loop of fixed length. The distance along the handle between the two ends is at least as wide as an adult human's hand. The latching apparatus preferably is a stop, such as a ball or a cylinder, on the free end of the cord, which ball or cylinder fits into a socket on the free end of the bar. However, other latches or clasps are disclosed for use as substitutes for the stop and socket latch.

Abstract: A novel hand grip for carrying loaded plastic bags that are made of flexible plastic sheet material and have bag handles formed in the opposite walls thereof, includes an elongated yoke that is shaped to be grasped by a human hand, and at least two (2) longitudinally spaced-apart hooks attached to the yoke and positioned thereon for hanging the bags by the bag handles thereof when the grip is raised. The hooks are spaced apart on the yoke to permit the ring finger and middle finger of the hand to fit comfortably therebetween with the little finger and the index finger outboard of the hooks. Each of the hooks has a restricted access for passing bag handles into and out of the eye of the hook, whereby the bag handles may be captured in the eye of the hook and cannot be released inadvertently from the hook.

Abstract: A carrying handle for supporting a shopping bag and its contents comprising a central portion having a first end and a second end, a first end member integrally attached at the first end, a second end member integrally attached at the second end, the central portion being an arc with a large radius of curvature, each of the first and second end members being J-shaped comprising an arc with a small radius of curvature, joined to a straight arm portion. The first and second end members are directed inwardly toward each other. The central portion and the end members are all in the same plane. The central portion curves toward the J-shaped members, and each of the J-shaped members curve toward the central portion, By inserting an intermediate section between the central portion and the end member, and by having the end member U-shaped, a second embodiment is provided.

Abstract: There is disclosed a removable handle for use on twine or flat lashing. The handle has at least one portion extending toward the lashing, for gripping the lashing. The extended portion has a distal end with a relatively flat end surface with curving section. Attached to the distal end is a gripping surface having a "U" configuration where the base of the "U" is relatively flat and substantially equal in width to the distal end flat surface. One side of the "U" is relatively short and disposed in relationship to the curved section of the distal end so as to form a gap between the top of the short side and the curved section for the insertion of the lashing. The flat section of the distal end can contain a semi-circular notch through which twine will fit. In one embodiment, the handle has two extended portions each having a U-shaped gripping section on the distal end thereof.

Abstract: An adjustable ski carrier having a flexible rope with two snap locks on each end. A handle provided on the rope has inwardly extending slots on each end of the handle. A pair of spaced apart apertures made on the opposite side of the handle are adapted to receive the rope from within a handle and extended over the top of the handle on the outside of it. A distance between the apertures is smaller than the distance between the most inward ends of the slots. The length of the rope in relation to the snap locks can be adjusted by extending the loop created by the part of the rope lying atop of the handle so that the device can be used for carrying the skis up the slope or down the slope in a balanced manner, and with the handle being fixed in a certain position by means of the slots in combination with the apertures and the loop. A knot created atop of the handle from the loop can be used to further ensure a fixed distance between the handle and the snap locks on the ends of the rope.

Abstract: An elongate bail adapted for use on a container. The bail comprises a polyester web having a thickness in the range of 75 to 225 micrometers prestretched at a ratio in the range of about 2:1 to 4.5:1 to uniaxially orient the web longitudinally of the bail. Adhesive coatings on end portions of the bail are adapted to adhere the bail to the side surfaces of the container. The uniaxially oriented polyester web has sufficient residual stretching ability to cushion shock applied centrally of the bail from the adhesive which attaches the end portions of the bail to the container, and restricts notch sensitivity of the bail in a direction transverse to the bail.
