  • Patent number: 4890355
    Abstract: A releasably mountable hand grip adapted to be mounted to a handle(s) associated with a plastic bag, totebag, collapsible luggage, briefcase and the like is disclosed. The hand grip includes an elongated tubular body having an inner and outer wall and opposite open ends. Opposed curvilinear sections are formed by a longitudinal opening extending along the length of the body, so as to enable the body to readily receive the handle or handle straps through the longitudinal opening. Interior gripping elements are provided on the inner wall of the body for gripping an associated handle, while exterior gripping elements are provided on the outer wall of the body to enable a user to comfortably grip the elongated tubular body when mounted on an associated handle. In certain instances, the opposed curvilinear sections may be constructed to form flexible wing sections to expand over an associated handle wider than the width of the longitudinal opening.
