<p>The handle (1) has a grip element (3) and retaining elements (2a-2f) for retaining a container. The grip element is telescopically arranged in a level of the carrying handle over two torsion points (36, 37) at the carrying handle. A grip element is telescopically arranged in the level of the carrying handle such that the distance between the grip element and highest extension of the container permits an insertion of a hand of a carrying person. Reinforcement bars (5-10) are arranged at an outer side related to the handle when providing the retaining elements. An independent claim is also included for a device for attaching carrying handles.</p>
