Generally described, aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to a carrying strap or a carrying loop suitable for use with a container. The carrying strap and loop include first and second attachment portions for securement to various locations on the container. In one example, a carrying strap has a stowed position, where the strap wraps around the container, to a carrying position, where the strap secures to a second location on the container such that the strap can be used to carry the container. In another example, a carrying loop has a deployed position, where the loop secures to only a first location on the container and is used to carry the container. The carrying straps and loops are suitably positioned as covering a label of the container, as a replacement for the label, or placed in any different position on the container from the label.

An apparatus and a method of using the apparatus for assisting in the carrying of an object having a handle are disclosed. The apparatus is in one embodiment a strap formed into a loop with a reinforcing member attached to a portion of the loop so as to create a rigid portion of the strap. The loop is passed through the handle of the object to be carried, with the rigid portion on the side of the handle away from the user. The user's hand is passed through the loop on the side facing the user and the user lets the weight of the object pull the loop onto the back of the user's wrist. The user can control the object by rotating the hand with minimal pressure by the fingers on the rigid portion of the loop.

An apparatus for assisting a user in gripping a portable electronic device has a base element adapted to be attached to the portable electronic device, wherein the base element has a top surface with an attachment region and a bottom surface configured to mount the base element onto the portable electronic device; a gripping element, wherein the gripping element has a bottom surface with an attachment region; and a stretchable cord connecting the base element and the gripping element at the respective attachment regions thereof; wherein the attachment regions of the base element and of the gripping element have respective corresponding engaging elements that cooperate with one another to permit the base element and the gripping element to be secured against or engaged with one another.

A Moving Assistance Device comprises a plurality of straps, comprising an inner strap and an outer strap; a plurality of adjustable and removable handles; and a plurality of buckles, wherein the buckles and handles travel along the straps providing means of tightening and securing the straps to an object to be moved.

The present disclosure relates to a carrier apparatus primarily for carrying containers having food products therein; but secondarily for carrying containers having any type of products contained therein. Specifically, the carrier apparatus of the present invention allows a user to transport various amounts and types of containers securely, minimizing disturbance to products, such as food products, contained therein. More specifically, the carrier apparatus of the present invention comprises a first configuration for carrying a first amount of containers and a second configuration for carrying a second amount of containers.

The carrying straps and carrying loops described herein are generally suitable for use with a container various containers. The carrying straps and loops include first and second attachment portions for securement to various locations on the container. In one example, a carrying strap has a stowed position, where the strap wraps around the container, to a carrying position, where the strap secures to a second location on the container such that the strap can be used to carry the container. In another example, a carrying loop has a deployed position, where the loop secures to only a first location on the container and is used to carry the container. The carrying straps and loops are suitably positioned as covering a label of the container, as a replacement for the label, or placed in any different position on the container from the label.

A therapeutic hand-held exercise device includes a pair of movable members that each define a handle portion and an end effector portion. The movable members are pivotably connected for relative pivotal movement between a first position and a second position. The handle portion of one of the movable members defines at least one flexible member engaging post. The end effector portion of the other movable member defines at least one flexible member engaging post such that the flexible member engaging posts can receive a common flexible member. The flexible member engaging posts are joined via a first common flexible member and other flexible member engaging posts are joined via a second common flexible member. The common flexible members may each exhibit a tensile strength that provides resistance to movement which either differs from or is equal to the tensile strength of the other common flexible member.

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus for drinking multiple beverages simultaneously. The apparatus may be held by a single hand allowing the user the opportunity to text or play games with the other. The apparatus may comprise securing straps to substantially keep the beverage containers in place as the beverages are tilted toward the user's mouth. The components of the apparatus may be adjustable to allow for beverage containers of all shapes and sizes. The apparatus may stand on its own without spilling the beverages when not in use. The beverage containers may rest on an angled bracket to position the beverage spouts in close proximity to each other.
