AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention solves the problem of carrying plastic bags by using a bag holder that can be securely attached to a person's hand. This holder allows for easy transport of multiple bags without direct contact with the handles, reducing discomfort and enabling the carrying of more bags than usual. The invention is affordable and easy to use.

Problems solved by technology

The material of the bags is often very thin, which results in the handles being rolled up into narrow straps when the bags are lifted.
This can make carrying the bag difficult or uncomfortable or a long distance.
The problem is exacerbated when the bag is particularly heavy or multiple bags are carried simultaneously, which limits the number of bags that can be moved.

Embodiment Construction

The subject invention describes embodiments of a hand-held device for carrying a bag.

[0019]More specifically, the subject invention provides embodiments of a bag holder capable of securing multiple loop-handled bags for carrying in one's hands or over one's shoulder.

[0020]The following description will disclose that the subject invention is particularly useful with T-shirt type bags that have two loop handles that can be pulled together for carrying a load in the bag. However, a person with skill in the art will be able to recognize numerous other uses that would be applicable to the devices and methods of the subject invention, including use with bags having a single handle.

[0021]Finally, reference is made throughout the application to the “top surface” and the “bottom surface.” As used herein, the bottom surface is that portion having a central opening to a notch that can be used for securing the handle of a bag for use of the handle in an inverted position (usually for only one o...

Abstract

A bag holder having a handle with a first curved bag holder support and a second curved bag holder support defining first and second bag holding spaces, respectively, at opposing ends of the handle. Bag handles can be placed in the bag holding spaces at each end of the handle to provide a sufficiently balanced load for carrying. A bag holding notch can be formed within the bottom surface of the handle, which allows the handles of one or more bags to be placed therein, such that the weight is supported by the handle in an inverted position. One or more receiving notches extending off of the bag holding notch can allow the bag holder to be hung on a hanger support.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]The present application claims priority to U.S. Design Patent Application Serial No. 29 / 520,418, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]Plastic bags, often referred to as “T-shirt bags,” are commonly used for carrying items purchased at a store. They typically have two loop handles on each side that can be pulled together to carry the bag. The material of the bags is often very thin, which results in the handles being rolled up into narrow straps when the bags are lifted. When the bag is carried, the handles concentrate the weight of the bag into narrow areas on the hand. This can make carrying the bag difficult or uncomfortable or a long distance. The problem is exacerbated when the bag is particularly heavy or multiple bags are carried simultaneously, which limits the number of bags that can be moved.BRIEF SUMMARY[0003]In accordance with embodiments of the sub...
