Handle with shaped recesses to support flimsy bag straps

A one-piece handle for supporting the flimsy plastic strap or straps of a flimsy plastic grocery type bag, comprising:

• (a) a handle body which is horizontally, longitudinally elongated and has opposite ends, front and rear sides, and top and bottom surfaces, the body having opposite end portions and an intermediate portion between said end portions,
• (b) there being recesses extending downwardly at said end portions from said top surfaces and terminating within said end portions, said recesses intersecting said front and rear sides,
• (c) the handle body defining local protuberances spaced part from one another in the length direction of said handle and extending into the recesses, the widths of the recesses being narrowed by said protuberances to form gaps spaced above the lowermost extents of the recesses.
• all of the protuberances extending substantially at the level of the top surface,
• (d) there being two pairs of said protuberances, the protuberances of a first pair extending longitudinally oppositely and into one said recess, and the protuberances of the second pair extending longitudinally oppositely and into the other said recess, a gap being formed between the protuberances of each pair, the width of each said recess in a longitudinal direction and directly below the protuberances thereabove, being substantially greater than the width of the said gap between the protuberances,
• (e) each said recess having opposite vertical walls from which the two protuberances project toward one another, the protuberances having undersides normal to said walls and overhanging the recesses, one of said walls of each said recess having a vertical dimension substantially greater than the vertical dimension of the other wall, said one vertical wall located closer to the end of the handle than said other vertical wall, and said one vertical wall projecting above the protuberance projecting therefrom and associated therewith and being above the level of said top surface so as to block the sliding of the straps off an end of the handle when the straps are above the gap, the protuberances at each said gap have upper surfaces which taper downwardly and toward one another.
