Definitions
- This invention relates to carrier bags.
- carrier bags are formed from a single sheet of plastics material, with cut-out sections enabling the bag to be supported by the hands .
- the bags are intended for use with heavier or bulkier items, they are often supplied with separately formed plastics handles secured to the mouth of the bag to reduce the stress by spreading the load over a larger area of the side walls.
- Such handles have an integrally formed rigid plastics grip portions dimensioned to receive only the fingers of the user.
- the handles can only be used to suspend the bags from items such as hooks that have a relatively small cross sectional area. As a result, when transporting this type of bag in a vehicle, there is often no convenient item from which the bag can be suspended.
- the present invention provides a bag having a handle that includes a rigid hand grip portion defining a finger aperture, the bag being further provided with a suspension cord that is retractable into the handle; the cord, when extended, enabling the bag to be suspended from an item having a significantly larger cross sectional area than the finger aperture .
- the retractable cord of a bag of the invention When transported in a vehicle, the retractable cord of a bag of the invention permits it to be suspended from the head restrain of a seat, thereby allowing the bag to be supported in a vertical attitude. This is important when the bag is used to hold food containers from which spillage can occur.
- the cord As the cord is retractable into the handle when it is not in use, it allows the bag to be used in the same way as a conventional bag without getting in the way of the user.
- the hand grip may be formed with a groove into which the cord can fit flush to improve the appearance of the bag and its ease of use.
- shock cords are elastically extendable up to a maximum limit beyond which they do not extend significantly. Hence the cord can be pulled out of the hand grip and can support the weight of the bag, even when it is fully laden. On release of the cord, it will retract automatically into the hand grip by virtue of its own elasticity. The elasticity will also reduce the transmission of shocks to the bag, this being advantageous if the contents are fragile.
- the handle may be formed of two interengaging plastics handle parts.
- a hand grip may be provided on one or both parts of the handle. It would be advantageous in situations where two hand grips are provided to provide a retracting cord on each handle part, thereby reducing the force on the locking mechanism.
- Figure 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the invention showing the cord in a retracted position, and rr ⁇ ⁇ 0 fu rt l-h CD CQ tr CD t rt rt t-3 U3 CD ⁇ SD T3 rt ti tr SD tr 0 rt d ⁇ xl tr 3 0 Hi 0 tr ti t ) T t ) 00 0 tr tr ii 3 0 ts 0 CD SD 0 * ⁇ »i tr CD H- ⁇ > 9 ) K, ⁇ CD 0 P. 0 ti PJ • ti CD 0 o * 3 0 fi 0 ⁇ ti CD ft m

- cord can then be hooked around larger items than would be suitable for the finger aperture 22, such as a vehicle head restraint or more awkward supports such as hooks provided on grab handles in motor vehicles.
- cord 18 In its retracted position, the cord 18 sits flush in the groove 20, such that it follows the shape of the finger grip section 16. In this position any excess cord may merely protrude from exit apertures 28. With this arrangement the free ends of cord 18 merely dangle inside the bag (not shown) .
- the cord 18 is a shock cord then it can simply fit within the channel 26 without intruding into the bag.
