ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for elastically gripping and holding an article, comprising: a flexible elongated handle member lying generally along a longitudinal handle axis, the handle defining an interior carrying opening proximate one end, and including a strap coupling area spaced from the carrying opening; a flexible, elastic strap coupled to the handle member at the strap-coupling area and extending therefrom to a distal end; and a cooperating releasable coupling structure, partially proximate the distal end of the strap and also partially coupled to the handle member, to allow the strap to be releasably fastened to the handle member; whereby the strap can be stretched tightly around an article, and then coupled to the handle member, to grip and hold the article. The apparatus allows the article to be carried or hung by the carrying opening in the handle member.
