Further, there is disclosed a baggage carrying handle (handle) which can be attached to and detached from a string of a carrying bag, characterized in that the surface on which the finger is hooked is a convex curved surface on the side in contact with the palm.
Further, when the caddy bag is grasped and lifted from the standing state, the carrying hand portion (belt portion) is present on the side surface, which makes it difficult to lift. In other words, when gripping and lifting the caddy bag, it is not only a problem of biting into the palm (particularly the index finger part), but the carrying part (belt part) must be rigid to some extent. The belt part) is not stable, and it may be difficult to grip and lift the caddy bag. In view of this, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-54575 discloses a cloth-like cover for a bag, which is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener so as to cover the bag (the belt portion) of the caddy bag.
