Definitions

  • This invention relates to a support for use when carrying goods in a bag, and more particularly to a support for use when carrying goods in a plastics shopping bag.
  • Supermarkets and the like generally provide plastics shopping bags in which goods can be carried.
  • a disadvantage of these so-called carrier bags is that the handles are uncomfortable to hold, especially when the shopping that is being carried is heavy.
  • a support for use when carrying goods in a bag comprising a body portion having an opening for receiving at least one handle of the bag and a handle portion which is displaceable to close the mouth of the opening in the support.
  • the support is more comfortable to hold than conventional bag supports because the user does not have to hold onto a hook-shaped formation. Furthermore, the mouth of the opening in the support is closed by the handle, and thus the handle of the bag does not disengage from the support when the bag is set down.
  • the body is U-shaped, the handle being arranged to interconnect the opposite arms of the U-shaped body adjacent their upper ends, so as to close the mouth of the opening that extends between the arms.
  • the U-shape of the body enables several bags to be carried at the same time.
  • the handle is movable relative to the body, when the mouth of the opening in the latter is closed by the handle, so that the body and bag are able to swing freely whilst the bag is being carried.
  • the handle is elongate, opposite ends of the handle being rotatably connected to the body, so that the body swings about the axis of the handle when the bag is being carried.
  • the handle is slidable across the mouth of the opening in the body.
  • the handle and body are formed from plastics.
  • a two-piece carrier bag support of plastics material comprising a U-shaped body 10 and a slidable handle 11 engaged with the body 10.
  • the U-shaped body 10 comprises a pair of parallel arms 12 which extend upwardly from a curved base portion 13.
  • the arms 12 and base portion 13 of the body 10 are I-shaped in section.
  • the base 13 of the body 10 is formed on its inner face with a pair of outwardly-directed slots 14, which are arranged symmetrically about its centre.
  • the slots 14 meet at a common opening 15 which is formed at the central lowermost part of base 13.
  • the upper ends of the arms 12 comprise cross members 16 which extend inwardly from their respective upper ends.T h e cross-members 16 lie on a common axis which extends perpendicular to the axis of their respective arms 12. An opening 17 is formed between the cross-members 16.
  • the cross-members 16 are T-shaped in section and thus it will be appreciated that the periphery of the body 10 is bounded by a wall 18 which lies perpendicular to the plane of the body 10. A small gap 19 is formed in the wall 18 at the upper outer end of one of the arms 12.
  • the handle 11 comprises a circular-section plastics tube having an axially extending slot 22, so that it can be slid axially over the T-section cross-members, through the gap 19 in the boundary wall 18.
  • a pair of radially-extending ears 20 are disposed on one end of the handle 11 on opposite sides of slot 22, in order to act as a stop which prevents the handle 11 being detached from the body 10 of the support.
  • a carrier bag B is attached to the support by passing its handles H through the opening 17 between the cross-members 16.
  • the handles H of the bag are received in respective slots 14 in the base 13 of the body 10.
  • the handle 11 of the support is then slid along the cross-members 16 to a position where its centre spans the opening 17 therebetween. In this position the handle 11 can be pushed downwardly, whereupon the cross-members 16 extend inside the handle 11, thereby allowing the latter to rotate freely about its axis.
  • the handle 11 must be rotated through substantially 180° before the support is used to carry the bag: in this position the slot 22 in the handle is facing upwardly and the lower edges of the cross-members 16 rest on its circular internal surface, thereby allowing the bag B and body 10 of the support to swing freely about the axis of the handle in use.
  • the support effectively forms a closed loop around the handles H of the bag B when the handle 11 of the support is slid across and locked in position. Thus, the handles H of the bag B will not become disengaged from the support when the bag is set down.
