ABSTRACT:
Device for carrying shopping bags having a handle for gripping in the palm of the hand for carrying; and a sheet material blank for forming same. The blank is generally elliptical-shaped, rounded in the middle and tapering toward each end and has a pair of centrally disposed parallel fold lines for dividing the blank into a pair of asymmetrical sides. One of these sides has a portion defined by a fold line along a base edge and score lines along opposed side edges connected to the base edge and a top edge connected to the side edges which when broken free at the score lines and folded along the fold line forms a locking tab having notched edges, the other side having a trapezoidal-shaped portion defined by a fold line along its base edge and score lines along its other edges and which when broken away along its score lines and folded along its fold line provides an open locking slot mating with the tab when the blank is folded to provide the respective two sides so that when the tab is inserted within the slot, its notches engage the side edges of the slot to releasably secure the two sides together. In use, the device is wrapped around the bag handle, and thereafter the tab is inserted in the slot to pull the two sides of the bag towards each other and to releasably secure the device to the bag.
