Abstract
A device for carrying multiple collapsible bags having a horizontal member, such as a beam or bar, with a handle for receiving a user's hand along an upper edge and three or more hooks along the lower edge of the horizontal member, in which each hook has an opening to receive a pair of handles of a collapsible bag, and in which each hook is positioned with its opening in a non-coplanar orientation relative to each other hook.
Claims16
A device for carrying multiple horizontally-elongated bags while walking, each bag having a pair of handles, the device comprising:
- a linear horizontal member having an upper edge and a lower edge and having a horizontal length;
- a handle for receiving a user's hand attached to the upper edge of the horizontal member, wherein the handle has a horizontal length less than the horizontal length of the linear horizontal member;
- three or more hooks attached to the lower edge of the linear horizontal member, whereby each hook has an opening configured to receive a pair of handles of a horizontally-elongated bag, whereby horizontal spaces formed between the three or more hooks are configured to horizontally decluster a plurality of horizontally-elongated loaded bags when hung from the three or more hooks, and whereby each hook is positioned with an angle of each respective opening in a non-coplanar orientation relative to an angle of each opening of each other hook such that all hook openings are angled within 180° or less of each other, thereby positioning the loaded horizontally-elongated bags into a grouped shape conducive to preventing interference with a user's walking leg movement while being carried at an arm's length below a user's shoulder.
A method of manufacture of a device for carrying multiple horizontally-elongated bags while walking, each bag having a pair of handles, the method comprising steps of:
- disposing, along an upper edge of a linear horizontal member along, a handle for receiving a user's hand attached, wherein the handle has a horizontal length less than a horizontal length of the linear horizontal member;
- disposing, along a lower edge of the linear horizontal member, three or more hooks, whereby each hook has an opening to receive a pair of handles of a horizontally-elongated bag, whereby horizontal spaces formed between the three or more hooks are configured to horizontally decluster a plurality of horizontally-elongated loaded bags when hung from the three or more hooks, and whereby each hook is positioned with an angle of each respective opening in a non-coplanar orientation relative to an angle of each opening of each other hook such that all hook openings are angled within 180° or less of each other, thereby positioning the loaded horizontally-elongated bags into a grouped shape conducive to preventing interference with a user's walking leg movement while being carried at an arm's length below a user's shoulder.
