Claims20
A removable handle engageable with at least one of a basket and crate for facilitating carrying such at least one of such basket and such crate, said removable handle comprising:
- (a) a first elastomeric member, said first elastomeric member having a first end and an opposed second end and each of a first predetermined length and a first predetermined load supporting capability;
- (b) a first hook member attached to said first end of said first elastomeric member for engaging a first portion of a predetermined edge of such at least one of such basket and such crate;
- (c) a second hook member attached to said opposed second end of said first elastomeric member for engaging a second portion of such predetermined edge of such at least one of such basket and such crate;
- (d) a second elastomeric member, said second elastomeric member having a first end and an opposed second end and each of a second predetermined length and a second predetermined load supporting capability;
- (e) a third hook member attached to said first end of said second elastomeric member for engaging a third portion of such predetermined edge of such at least one of such basket and such crate;
- and
- (f) a fourth hook member attached to said opposed second end of said second elastomeric member for engaging a fourth portion of such predetermined edge of such at least one of such basket and such crate.

In combination with a flexible basket for carrying pre-selected objects therein, the improvement comprising:
- (a) a stiffening means disposed adjacent an upper edge of said flexible basket for substantially minimizing a possibility of said flexible basket collapsing inwardly when carrying a load therein, said stiffening means formed from a predetermined material;
- (b) a first elastomeric member, said first elastomeric member having a first end and an opposed second end and each of a first predetermined length and a first predetermined load supporting capability;
- (c) a first hook member attached to said first end of said first elastomeric member for engaging a first portion of said stiffening means adjacent a predetermined upper edge of said flexible basket;
- (d) a second hook member attached to said opposed second end of said first elastomeric member for engaging a second portion of said stiffening means adjacent said predetermined upper edge of said flexible basket;
- (e) a second elastomeric member, said second elastomeric member having a first end and an opposed second end and each of a second predetermined length substantially equal to said first predetermined length of said first elastomeric member and a second predetermined load supporting capability substantially equal to said first predetermined load supporting capability of said first elastomeric member;
- (f) a third hook member attached to said first end of said second elastomeric member for engaging a third portion of said stiffening means adjacent said predetermined upper edge of said flexible basket;
- and
- (g) a fourth hook member attached to said opposed second end of said second elastomeric member for engaging a fourth portion of said stiffening means adjacent said predetermined upper edge of said flexible basket.
