FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a device for carrying objects.

In general goods are carried by means of containers, some of which are encumbering and troublesome to handle and this may be tiring for people. Moreover, for some objects a suitable carrier is often difficult to find. For this reason people going shopping carry bags, sacks, and boxes. Unfortunately, the handles of plastic bags and the strings of packages often “cut” the hands.

This is an improvement patent over Stoft (WO091111368), and contains a an accessory for said device: a cable set able to increase the power of a carrying device.

BACKGROUND ART

Some hand carrying tools are known having a central handle and a connecting apparatus at each end for carrying plastic shopping containers.

In some of these carrying tools the handles are made lighter by means of lateral grooves. The grooves create empty zones, which are not comfortable for the hands. Such a tool is disclosed in Stoft (W 09111 1368), wherein a surface 60 is described as “writing surface” which can be attached either on the flat inner surface of a longitudinal shallow recess, either on the external surface of an other embodiment of said handle, having no recess. Pointing attention upon the embodiment without recesses, if said “writing surface” should be a surface supported by a thick body, if attached to such a handle without recesses, should cause serious trouble to the hand of a user. That means that said “writing surface” is an attached surface supported by a very thin body, as a sheet, useful only to being written upon. The same “writing surface”, if attached to the embodiment having recesses, should keep the same features, and cannot be intended as a stopper filling said recess and having enough mechanical resistance for performing the further feature of keeping in place a padding, (which instead is a feature of the present invention).

Handles having generally hook-shaped connecting apparatus at each end are also known, and are provided with thin passages which prevent the shopping containers from being freed when put down.

This means that:

the user must pay attention to place the shopping container handles in the thin passage.

at the moment of disconnection the user must extract the shopping container handles from the thin passage using both hands. In this cases the user, if in a hurry, can lose time in connecting or disconnecting.

said handles can carry only objects having a very thin hookable portion, as plastic shoppers.

In some known handles (Clark, GB2218901A) there is a recess at each end which opens upwardly, provided with only one horizontal resilient retainer which, when removed, leaves only a thin passage. This has the drawback that the unraveling of thin strings cannot be prevented by this type of hooking apparatus.

In some other cases the thin passage is completely closed (Ducruox, FR 201950561 A), but a two-hands maneuver is necessary for disengaging the load.

In some other handles mechanical parts are present which require a double “two-hands” maneuver.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object: of the present invention to provide a handle for carrying objects which is comfortable, in which the engagement and disengagement with the objects is easy and able to connect also ropes or not-thin parts of an object.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a handle for carrying objects in which a padding can be easily added, replaced or removed.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a handle for carrying objects in which a removable surface is provided, which can be written or printed on.

These and further objects are achieved by the handle according to the attached claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention broadly comprises a handle for carrying objects (or connecting handle or carrying handle or hooking handle) which is operatively arranged to be connectable to objects by connecting apparatuses at each end of the handle, as shown in the [0046] embodiments 1A, 1B, 1C of FIGS. 1, 5, 6, 12.
In the [0047] preferred embodiment 1B (shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 7, 9, 18, 23) each connecting apparatus has the closure performance performed by two elastic opposite members (flexible tongue 4 and lower elastic protrusion 15 a) wherein the hooking and holding strength is performed by a hook-shaped upper rigid protrusion 29, internal to said closure. This double elastic closure has two effects:
a) permits to reduce or eliminate the distance or little space or [0048] passage 11, which is a to wide passage in other handles which have a closure based on one only elastic member, when the inserted objects are thin; which is a to thin passage when objects to be inserted are wide, such as ropes.
b) permits a relevant opening space of said closure when opened, in which can be introduced wide objects, such as ropes, (FIG. 23) [0049]
c) gives a very easy maneuver for insertion of the parts of objects to be hooked and carried: it can be done by simply pulling upwards the handle against the part to be inserted (FIG. 10) [0050]
d) gives a very easy maneuver for the extraction of the hooked parts of the carried objects: it can be done by simply pulling away the handle in the releasing direction (FIG. 11). [0051]
The handle is made padding able (FIGS. 6, 7) by the existence of a front and [0052] rear groove 8, in which a complementary-shaped element or elongated lateral element or stopper 19 can be forced. The stopper keeps flat padding 28 in place by simply forcing its lateral edges 47 between lateral part 9 of stopper 19 and lower internal face 30 of each groove 8, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7. The performances of the connecting handle can be powered by the use of an accessory, a hookable sliding cable set 32, shown in the embodiments of FIGS. 13, 17, 20, 21, which permits the connecting to the handle:
a) of objects having no hooking zone; [0053]
b) of a plurality of objects. [0054]
Adverting Now to the Drawings: [0055]
FIG. 1 shows, indicated as IA, a single-elasticity connecting handle having a closure formed by two opposite members: a) flexible tongue [0056] 4; b) vertical rigid hook-shaped element 15. In detail, the central portion 1 of the handle has at each end 17,18 a connecting hooking apparatus 2, 2 a., or hooking apparatus. With reference to end 17, the hooking apparatus 2 is formed by two protrusions (Upper protrusion or flexible tongue 4, lower protrusion 13) protruding from the substantially vertical face 17 c of end 17. Upper protrusion or flexible tongue 4 extends from the upper part 17 b of vertical face 17 c; it is thin and elastic, and slightly curved downward for helping insertions. Lower protrusion 13 extends from the lower part 17 a of vertical face 17 c and comprises a substantially horizontal corbel 10 ending in a vertical rigid hook-shaped element 15, ending in a upper thickened ending 12, having a downwards inclined surface 6, for the helping of insertions. A distance or little passage 11 is left between element 4 and surface 6. Lower zone 7 of central portion 1 is hand-shaped; central zone 16 is a zone formed between parts 7, 14, so as to form, at each lateral side, a groove 8 in which an elongated lateral element or stopper 19 is forced in a position that locates its external surface or external side 5 slightly deeper than the edges 26 and 27 of lower zone 7 and of upper zone 14.
FIG. 2 shows front view of lateral element or [0057] stopper 19, showing a detail of its lateral part 9 and of its external side 5.
FIG. 3 shows the rear view of [0058] stopper 19, in which rear protrusions 21 have groove joints 20, to be connected to tongue joints 24, shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 7. Obviously this type of joint is an example, as any known type of joint could be used to hold the stopper in place.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of [0059] handle 1A, and shows insertion of stoppers 19 in groove 8, in a position for which face 5 is slightly deeper than edges 26 and 27. FIGS. 6, 7 further illustrate how padding 28 is held in place: each edge 47 of padding 28 is forced between the inferior part of lateral part 9 of stopper 19 and lower internal face 30 of groove 8. FIG. 8 illustrates that stoppers 19 can be disposed all together for printing, since external side 5 is parallel to the opposite internal side 22 of stopper 19.
FIG. 5 shows a double-elasticity connecting handle IB, which is identical to handle IA except in the hooking [0060] apparatus 3, 3 a located at each end of handle 1B. Hooking apparatus 3 eliminates or strongly reduces distance 11 between surface 6 and flexible tongue 4, since lower elastic protrusion 15 a is thin and very elastic. The thin part gains in length because it protrudes from the inferior part 31 of double-ended corbel 10 a. Therefore there is an empty supplemental space 23 between lower thin portion 28 a of element 15 a and hook shaped upper rigid protrusion 29 of double-ended corbel 10 a, which is a part of lower double-ended protrusion 13 a
[0061] Space 23 permits elastic movement of lower elastic protrusion 15 a against flexible tongue 4 as to obtain the approximately complete closure of passage 11, due to the elasticity of both elements 4 and 15 a. Passage 11 can easily be opened by the pushing or extracting of an object, as the handle of a plastic bag. Once inserted the load, the handle remains connected to it even when not hold by the user,. if left on a chair or in his car ready to be used again. Space 23 can also be used as a supplemental hooking space. FIG. 5 shows handle 1B with its stoppers 19 out of place, for ease understanding. Lower zone 7 of the handle is hand shaped,
FIG. 6 shows double-[0062] elasticity connecting handle 1B having a flat padding 28 kept in place: each edge 47 of padding 28 is forced between inferior part of lateral part 9 of stopper 19 and lower internal face 30 of groove 8.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 6 and shows the detail of how [0063] padding 28 is kept in place over the lower zone 7 of handle 1B:.
FIG. 8 shows how [0064] stoppers 19 can be disposed all together for the printing because external face 5 is parallel to the opposite side 22 of stopper 19
FIG. 9 shows the [0065] hand 52 of a user holding a connecting handle 1B connected to the handles 51 of a plastic shopper 50
FIG. 10 shows that the [0066] handle 51 of plastic shopper 50 can be inserted in the connecting apparatus 3 of connecting handle 1B by simply pulling upwards-connecting handle 1B in hooking position.
FIG. 11 shows that the [0067] handle 51 of plastic shopper 50 can be disconnected by in the connecting apparatus 3 of connecting handle 1B by simply pulling upwards-connecting handle 1B in disconnecting position.
FIG. 12 In the carrying of objects by a hooking handle as shown above, the upper part of hooking apparatus is weak for transportation, and it may happen that the handle could be wrongly held, causing the load to release from the upper part. This can be a problem for particular objects to be carried, and when the user has one hand inaccessible, and cannot easily repeat the hooking operation. Therefore, FIG. 12 illustrates a connecting hookable handle [0068] 1C, which differs from handles 1A and 1B because it has ring-shaped bodies 84, 84 a at each side of central portion 1. By this way handle 1C cannot hook but can be hooked by snap hooks similar to snap hook 86, being part of additional cable set 32 c
FIGS. 13, 14 shows additional cable set [0069] 32 c, particularly useful for the carrying of a ski pair 96 (as shown in FIG. 16). It comprises a set 32, as shown above, further comprising snap hook 86 and flat element 94. The flat element has a hole 95 in its inferior side 88 through which is threaded cable 39. For the carrying of ski pair 96 flat element 94 is inserted with upper part 87 between skis 92 and 93 (FIGS. 15, 16), while skis 92,93 are wrapped by cable 39. Thus: a) skis 92,93 are not pressed in a straight position, risking to lose their slightly curved shape; b) set 32 c cannot slide on skis in an undesired position, by cause that flat element 94 is compressed and blocked by the wrapped skis, such as in a sandwich. Element 94 can have any shape, because it is only meant to being compressed and blocked.
FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 16 showing the position of [0070] skis 92,93 and of flat body 94 when skis wrapped in cable set 32 c.
FIG. 16 shows the position of [0071] handle 1C when holding a ski pair 96
FIG. 17 shows a n additional hookable sliding cable set [0072] 32 which permits to connect to the handle objects having no hooking zone or else a plurality of objects, which are kept tightened all together also before and after the carrying. Cable set 32 comprises a loop shaped cable 39 threaded through a sliding stopper 35.; two loops are so formed:
a) an [0073] upper loop 37, above stopper 35, useful to be connected to the handle;
b) a [0074] lower loop 33, under stopper 35, which can give way to a sliding loop 34 if the end 33 a of lower loop 33 (or sliding end 33) is inserted into the beginning 33 b of loop 33 beginning which is the portion immediately under stopper 35.
[0075] Stopper 35 works as an obstacle against the sliding of end 33 a in a loosing direction. This generates a method for easily wrapping objects and keeps them tight, having the possibility of hooking them
By wrapping the inserted [0076] load 62 in sliding loop 34, the user can keep it tight by pushing stopper 35 against end 33 a. This action makes larger the upper loop 37, which can be hooked by a hooking tool
FIG. 18 shows a group of encumbering objects (a [0077] chair 54, first 53 and second 55 piece of a big shore umbrella) kept tight by two cable sets 32 and hooked to connecting handle 1B.
FIG. 19 shows an [0078] electric wire 56 kept tight by a cable set 32.
FIG. 20 shows a ring cable set [0079] 32 a wherein in loop 37 a ring 40 has been inserted, performing the additional function to prevent an undesired removal of the stopper 35, when maneuvered in releasing direction.
FIG. 21 shows an additional cable set [0080] 32 b wherein a simple cable 44 has a snap-hook 41 at an end, a stopper 35 slid able on said cable and a loop 42 or a ring at the other end. The pulling upwards of loop 42 causes sliding loop 43 to close upon it and draws snap hook 41 against stopper 35.
FIG. 22 shows the [0081] connection 45 between cable 44 and snap-hook 41, which is performed because a fixed loop 36 obtained by melting with heat the end 46 of cable 44 (made of plastic melt able material or fibers). End 46 is melted so as to become hard and thick, so as to prevent removal from stopping collar 38.
FIG. 23 shows two [0082] users 57,58 moving a sofa 59 by using two connecting handles 1B connected by ropes 60,61 passed under sofa 59.
FIG. 24 shows a handle [0083] 1D having additional hooks 97 connected to lower double-ended corbel 13 a.
All tools shown can be built in plastic material, such as Nylon and the like, permitting the production of a very inexpensive tool having great utility. [0084]
Having described the invention and its advantages, one can see that it is based on the use of several parts and that each part can have different embodiments and be used in different combinations. This gives to this new carrying equipment a great extent of uses, of which the devices described in the figures are only some examples.

e) said groove is substantially filled by a complementary-shaped element or elongated lateral element or stopper,

f) said stopper is forced in said groove,

g) said stopper has a thickness and a resistance able to keep in place a padding when said padding partially compressed in said groove by said stopper,

h) said means for retaining objects comprise at least one ring-shaped body to be hooked by hooking means connected to a load;

each of said sliding cable sets comprising:

i) a sliding stopper,

l) a loop shaped cable threaded through said stopper so as to obtain an upper loop, for connection with a hook, and a lower loop having a lower loop beginning, in proximity of said sliding stopper, and having a lower loop end or sliding end at the opposite side,

m) at least one obstacle against the coming out of said stopper when maneuvered, said obstacle connected to said upper loop, said obstacle being a connector,

n) at least one elongated element connected to said lower loop;

whereby it is possible transport a ski pair kept tight avoiding the sliding of said cable set because said elongated element is compressed and blocked between skis and because said loop shaped cable is threaded through said hole and therefore prevented from sliding along skis in their length direction.

25. The handle of claim 11 further comprising two hooks, each located under each of said corbels.
