  • Patent number: 6138882
    Abstract: A light weight and easy to use strap-like device (1) for carrying bottles (1) and other containers by securing them to a handle (2) of another object. The device has a buckle (8) at a proximal end. A first side of the strap near the proximal end has matching fastening means which is spaced apart a sufficient distance so when connected around a handle (2) it forms an attachment loop (5) for attaching the device to the handle (2) of another object. The second or opposite side of the strap contains fastening means, such as hook and loop fastening material (10,11), with the distal portion of the strap containing one component of the fastening means, such as hook fabric (11), and the remaining portion having loop fabric (10). After the device has been attached to a handle of another object, a bottle (4) or other object is wrapped in the first side of the loop (6) and the distal end of the strap is placed around the bottle and pulled through the buckle (8) until the bottle is securely held in place.
