  • Handle for bagged items
    Patent number: 5169198
    Abstract: A flat, open handle clips onto the end of a bag such as, for example, a shrink-wrap plastic bag, for frozen poultry or similar frozen food items. The handle has an elliptical ring at one end through which the end of the bag fits, and is provided with flexible converging fingers to retain the bag within the ring once it is inserted. The gripping portion of the handle which the fingers of the user grip is at the opposite end. Relatively flexible arms interconnect the gripping portion and the ring. To strengthen the handles and also to guide the bag toward the ring after its end has been inserted in the opening in the handle, guides are provided. In one form of the invention the guides extend inwardly from each arm, then bend obliquely to merge with the retaining fingers. In another form of the invention the guides are thin ears which have rounded inner edges.
