ABSTRACT:
The improved handle is useable to facilitate carrying a bag having one or more flexible top straps. The handle includes a shell of relatively inflexible durable material, such as wood, metal or plastic. The shell is generally elongated and tubular with a central hollow bag strap-receiving space. The shell has open opposite ends and is divided into two mating shell parts extending the length of the shell. The two shell parts bear integral connector components adjacent their upper ends in the form of a hook and notch and the shell parts are hinged together adjacent their lower ends by an internal flexible resilient hinge of elastomeric material. The lower ends of the two parts have upturned terminal flanges over which the hinge is permanently secured. The hinge has a raised or domed central portion and downwardly sloping sides and forms with the lower internal surfaces of the two shell parts a pair of spaced longitudinally extending lateral bag strap-receiving pockets which keep the weight of a bag being carried off the main portion of the hinge. A detent in the upper end of the shell prevents over flexing of the hinge when releasably connecting the two shell parts and reduces unwanted opening. The two shell parts may have external ribs or a roughened external surface to facilitate hand gripping, and an optional upper releasable terminal flap to seal the shell parts in place.
