Abstract
This invention relates to a method for attaching a flexible cord handle on a bag comprising the steps of: forming a pair of apertures through a baa wall, providing at least one substantially planar obstruction member with at least one cord receiving passageway therethrough, passing at least one free end of a flexible cord through one of said apertures and into a respective cord receiving passageway of the obstruction member, and fixing the free end of the cord to the obstruction member by deforming at least a portion of the obstruction member surrounding the cord, and further wherein the greatest dimension of the obstruction member is larger than the aperture in the bag wall.

A method for attaching a flexible cord handle on a bag comprising the steps of:
- forming a pair of apertures through a bag wall,
- providing at least one substantially planar obstruction member with at least one cord receiving passageway therethrough,
- passing at least one free end of a flexible cord through one of said apertures and into a respective cord receiving passageway of the obstruction member, and
- fixing the free end of the cord to the obstruction member by deforming at least a portion of the obstruction member surrounding the cord, and further wherein the greatest dimension of the obstruction member is larger than the aperture in the bag wall.
An apparatus for attaching a flexible cord handle to a bag wall, said apparatus comprising a cord supply means for providing a length of flexible cord, a bag wall supply means for providing a bag wall with a pair of apertures therethrough, and, an obstruction member supply means for providing at least one substantially planar obstruction member for each length of cord, each obstruction member having at least one cord receiving passageway therethrough adapted to receive and hold the cord, said apparatus further comprising a cord insertion means for passing each free end of the length of cord on a first side of said wall through a respective aperture in the cord receiving passageway of a respective obstruction member on an opposite side of the bag wall and fixing each free end to that respective obstruction member.
