Abstract
An handle for carrying grocery bags and the like comprising a rod round cross section with a central portion adapted to be gripped by a human hand. On either side of the gripping portion are knobs with deep annular slots adapted to receive the handles of a grocery bag. Each bag loop handle is secured by one of the slots. The handle is attached to the bag transversely to the bag opening. The handle supports the bag in a balanced configuration without a tendency to rotate in the hand. Alternatively, one or more bags may be mounted in each slot and carried by the handle between them.

A handle for lifting and carrying a grocery bag comprising:
- a. an elongated bar adapted for being gripped by a human hand, and
- b. first and second knobs each being radially larger than said bar, and
- each knob having first and second portions attached together by a rod proximate the centers of the knob portions and extending from the first portion to the second portion, said rod having a diameter less than said bar, and each knob assembly axially attached to an end of said bar,
- c. whereby, said rod separates said first and second portions of the knob thus forming an annular slot for receiving therein at least one loop handle of a bag, and
- d. thereby, said knobs, in cooperation with said gripping bar, comprise a handle adapted for lifting and carrying a shopping bag by a human hand.
A handle for lilting and carrying a bag comprising:

- c. each knob is radially larger than said gripping bar.
- d. wherein each slot is adapted to receive the loop handle of a shopping bag.
A handle for lifting and carrying a grocery bag comprising:
- a. a round, elongated bar adapted to be received by a human hand, where said bar has an a longitudinal axis of symmetry, and
- b. first and second knobs are attached to said bar in axial alignment with said longitudinal axis, and
- c. each of first and second knobs being a larger diameter than said bar and each knob having a annular slot therein dividing each knob into two parts connected by a cylindrical rod, and
