ABSTRACT:
The present invention features a shopping bag handle that is ergonomically designed for easily carrying heavily-ladened shopping bags. The handle is substantially straight with a slight convex arc along its underside. The convex arc along the mid-section of the handle provides an ergonomic effect that conforms to the grip of a hand. An eye-loop is located on each distal end of the carrying handle. The loops of the shopping bag are easily threaded onto the eye-loops because of the downwardly-facing geometry of the latter. The central axis of the handle passes substantially through the contact points between the respective eye-loops of the handle and the loops of the shopping bag, thus reducing the moment of inertia between the middle portion of the handle and its distal ends. This reduced moment of inertia provides for a more stable carrying handle, substantially eliminating the tendency of a shopping bag to sway or rock about the handle.
