Definitions

  • a handle for carrier bags has two halves in theform of loops. The legs of one loop are spaced farther apart than the legs of the other loop, so that the narrower loop can be passed through the wider loop and the bag is maintained closed because ⁇ the loops are interlocked backto-back relative to their open position.
  • the present invention relates to a handle for carrier bags, particularly of the kind made from foil, preferably transparent plastic foil, and adapted to be used for carrying commodities, which are displayed in that the bag is suspended by its handle from a support.
  • the handle consists in aknown way of two substantially similar halves placed side by side, the lower parts of which are connected'to a reinforcement strip positioned at the edge of the bag.
  • the two halves of the handle are moved apart, whereby the bag is opened.
  • the two halves of the handle bear against each other.
  • the primary objectof the invention is to provide a closing device which does not call for additional parts, but results alone from the configuration of the handle.
  • Another object of the invention is to avoid tugging on the halves of the handle when opening the above mentioned snap fasteners, which can cause the material of the bag to tear. This is a drawback as the bags in question are often utilized after having served their original purpose as small shopping-bags, for which reason they should be able to be opened and closed a good many times without being damaged.
  • Still another object is to avoid inwardly projecting members on the halves of the handle as is the case in connection with snap fasteners.
  • a handle for carrier bags in which the lower parts of two generally similar handle halves, preferably having the same slope, are inclined in opposite directions so that when closing the bag one half can be passed through the loop of the other half, its outwardly facing side thereby bearing on the outwardly facing side of the other half.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side view of one half of the handle.
  • FIGURE 2 is a side view of the other half of the handle.
  • FIGURE 3 is a side view of the two halves in assembled state, showing the bag closed.
  • FIGURES 4, 5 and 6 are cross-sectional views along 3,339,823 Patented Sept. 5, 1967 lCe the lines IV-IV in FIGURE 1, V--V in FIGURE 2 and VI-VI in FIGURE 3, respectively.
  • FIGURE 7 is a view of the handle, as seen from the edge of the bag, in the direction of the arrow A in FIG- URE 3 and in a locked state.
  • FIGURES 8, 9 and 10 are Side views of another embodiment of the centrally placed looking device of the handle corresponding to FIGURE 1, FIGURE 2 and FIGURE 3, respectively, in that only the part of the handle is shown which lies between the lines a-a and b-b in the last-mentioned figures.
  • FIGURES 11, 12 and 13 are cross-sectional views along the lines XI-XI in FIGURE 8, XII- XII in FIG- URE 9 and XIII-XIII in FIGURE l0, respectively, and
  • FIGURE 14 is a View of the handle according to FIG- URES 8-10, as seen from the edge of the bag in the direction of the arrow B in FIGURE 10 and in a locked state.
  • the handle shown in FIGURES l-7 consists of two halves 10 and 12 which, apart from the later mentioned deviation, have the same shape and each of which is symmetrical about a vertical central line.
  • the halves 10 and 12' are generally U-shaped, and the legs of the halves, 14 and 16 respectively, are integral with a stiffening or reinforcement strip 18, which is located at the upper edge of the appurtenant bag 20, a fragment of which is shown in FIGURE 3.
  • the strip can consist yof two cohering halves which at the side edges of the bag are joined to the material of the bag which is preferably plastic foil.
  • the handle and the strip 18 are also plastic material substantially thicker than the foil but readily flexible.
  • the legs 14 and 16 of the halves 10 and 12 of the handle are inclined in opposite directions, vide FIG- URES l and 2. Furthermore the distance x between the feet of the half 12 at the strip 18 is less than the distance y between the feet of the half 10 at this strip.
  • the half 12 can be passed through the opening or loop between the half 10 and the strip 18 after which the two halves are able to have their originally outer sides to :bear against each other as shown in FIGURES 6 and 7.
  • the bag is locked in a closed state, and this result is obtained alone by the configuration of the handle without any additional parts.
  • each half preferably have the same slope, whereby a regular symmetrical arrangement characterizes the closed bag, vide FIGURE 3.
  • inner slots 22 are located at the feet of the half 10 and the distance between the outer points 24 of the half 12 is selected so that it is a little less than the distance v between the bottoms of the slots 22 thereby facilitating the passage of half 12 through the loop formed by the U-shaped half 10 and the associated strip 18 without the necessity of being bent lengthwise.
  • both halves 10 and 12 of the handle may be olset from their feet on the strip 18 inwardly in relation to the plane of the strip, vide FIGURES 4 and 5 where the offsets are denoted by 26 and 28.
  • a flap 30 extends, which is bent and turned over and then lies parallel with the outwardly facing side of this half, vide FIGURE 4.
  • a slot 32 is formed which can receive the other half 12 of the handle whereby the halves of the handle are kept against each other, vide FIGURE 6, which effects a more complete closing of the bag along its medium part.
  • the bent part of the flap 30 passes preferably through a notch 34 at the lower edge of the half 12 of the handle, vide FIGURE 2, whereby the lower edge of the handle remains straight when the bag is closed.
  • a suspension hook 36 is located, by which the bag can be suspended Well balanced from a support for exhibition use.
  • FIGURES 8-14 correspond to that earlier mentioned with the exception only that the suspension hook which is here denoted by 36a, is placed at the end of the ap 30. Furthermore, the same reference numerals are used here as in FIGURES 1-7.
  • the suspension hook can be adapted to be easily broken olf.
  • the ap 30 has a cut 38 at the base of the suspension hook 36a along its surface, vide FIGURES 11, 13 and 14.
  • the hook can also be weakened in another way e.g. by a row of small holes.
  • a handle for carrier bags comprising a first half and a second half having substantially the same width and adapted to be placed side by side contacting each other, each half -being largely shaped as an inverted U, the legs of each half being connected to a reinforcement strip at their lower ends to form an aperture, the legs of said first half diverging downwards, the legs of said seeond half converging downwards thereby allowing said second half to be carried through the aperture of said first half without being bent lengthwise, said reinforcement strips being adapted to be secured to the upper edges of a bag.
  • a handle for carrier bags according to claim l in which slots are provided at the inner edge of said legs of said first half at points where they adjoin said reinforcement strip.
  • a handle for carrier bags according to claim 1 in which at least one half of the handle is oset inwards at points where it adjoins said reinforcement strip.
  • a handle for carrier bags according to claim 1, in which locking means are provided at the center of the handle, to keep said halves in mutual contact.
  • Locking means for a handle according to claim 1 comprising a hook, said hook passing through a notch at the lower edge of the other half of the handle.
  • a handle for carrier bags comprising a first half, a second half and a reinforcement strip arranged at the upper edge of the bag, each half forming together with said reinforcement strip a loop, the length of the loop of said first half in the direction of the reinforcement strip being smaller than the length of the loop of said second half in the direction of the reinforcement strip at the points Where said halves adjoin the reinforcement strip so that, after said first half has been carried through the loop of said second half from the front side to the back side thereof, the two halves lying flush against each other with the side surfaces which originally faced outward disposed in contact with each other, and means to keep said halves in mutual contact in this position.
