HANDLE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A handle assembly (10) for a carrier bag (60) includes a pair of handle members, each comprising an elongate attachment element (14) and a handle formation (12) extending laterally from the attachment element. A first of the handle members has at least one first rib formation extending along its attachment element and a second of the handle members has at least one complementary first groove formation extending along its attachment element, the first rib and groove formations being shaped and configured to releasably engage with one another under a compressive force and to disengage from one another under a predetermined force urging the attachment elements apart. The invention extends to a carrier bag incorporating the handle assembly.
