<p>A carrying handle comprising an elongate body portion (11) of resilient material and integral end portions (12) adapted to be rigidly attached to an article (e.g. a bucket-like container) to be carried, said body portion having integral hinges provided by thinner portions extending along folding lines in flat parts adjacents to said end portions, on which hinges the body portion can be swung, is characterised in that said body portion (11) has at least two folding lines (13, 14) at an angle to each other adjacent to each end portion (12) and so disposed that said end portions (12) can be rigidly attached to an aforesaid article with the folding lines (13, 14) adjacent to each end portion (12) extending at least substantially in a plane normal to a straight line through the end portions (12), whereby in use the body portion (11) can be swung between a position in which it is unfolded at said fold lines (13, 14) and another position in which it is folded at said fold lines (13, 14). Usually, said unfolded position will be upright and said folded position will be sideways relative to the article to be carried.</p> |
