HANDLE FOR PLASTIC BAG

摘要

An attachable bag holder (40) for use with a bag (42) having at least one carrying loop (44). The holder (40) includes an elongated body terminating in opposed ends (50, 52) and formed with a loop receiving channel (48) on an upwardly facing side and a manually engageable gripping surface (51) on a downwardly facing side of the holder body. A retention structure (58) formed for easy insertion and yet difficult removal or trapping of the bag loops (44) in the holder (40) upon attachment of the same is provided. The holder body is preferably formed with U-shaped cross section which permits nesting of holders (40) in a stacked relation (165). The manually engageable gripping surface (51) is downwardly convexed and formed with finger indentations (96, 98) to transfer loading forces to each of the fingers on the user's hand, and provide a firm positive grip which combine to reduce fatigue. The gripping surface configuration (51) also provides transverse, as well as longitudinal, rigidity to the holder. A holder dispenser (158) and method are also disclosed.
