Reusable bag carrier and dispenser
A device for holding and dispensing reusable bags includes a structural base, a first arm-bracing wing, a second arm-bracing wing, an elastic restraint, and a bag storing hanger. When in use, a plurality of reusable bags is initially hooked onto a hook portion of the bag storing hanger. The elastic restraint secures the plurality of reusable bags with the structural base such that the plurality of reusable bags is stored on a racking portion of the bag storing hanger. The first arm-bracing wing and the second arm-bracing wing rest on a grocery bag holder when the device is used to dispense the plurality of reusable bags. A handle extending from the structural base allows the user to carry the device conveniently.
Articulating hook apparatus for hanging an article from a variety of structures
An articulating hook apparatus for hanging an article from a structure includes a housing. The hook apparatus having connectors that extend from the housing. Each of the connectors including a plurality of links that connect pivotally to each other in series. The plurality of links having a starting link and a last link. The starting link connects to respective connectors. The last link connects to an articulating hook. The connectors operate between a retracted position and an extended position. The connectors retract and allow the plurality of links and the hooks to fold adjacent to the perimeter of the housing. The connectors enable both a J- and an S-shaped configuration.
CARRIER INCLUDING HANDLE AND ATTACHMENT
The carrier includes a handle; and at least one prong attached to the handle. The at least one prong is attached to the handle such that a first portion of the prong extends in a first direction from an attachment point to the handle and a second portion of the prong extends in a second direction from the attachment point. The second direction is opposite the first direction. When the carrier is not under tension, a gap between the handle and the first portion of the prong exists.
Pocketed reusable bag holder
A pocketed reusable bag holder, organizer, and storage apparatus and system of use thereof, configured to facilitate the easy transport, storage, and use of reusable bags conventionally employed for grocery shopping. The holder exhibits a body having a generally planar shape which is configured to roll up while containing multiple reusable bags when not in use. When needed, the body is unrolled, revealing the reusable bags which are stored in an organized fashion on a hook. The body is mountable to a handle of a shopping cart via multiple hook-and-loop fasteners. Pockets are present on a front and a rear of the unrolled body, which facilitate storage of personal items during the shopping experience, such as a mobile device, shopping list, and coupons. A stabilizing bar prevents undesired torsion of the body during use.
Carrying strap handle with identical halves
A handle includes two identical halves, each half including a body, a pair of flanges, a pair of hooks and a pair of slots. The pair of flanges extend towards each other in a common plane. A hook is provided adjacent to one end of each flange. A slot is provided adjacent to the opposite end of each flange. The hook has a head, which defines a wedge-shaped space between the head of the hook and the flange and configured to receive a wedge-shaped overhang of a slot. With two halves positioned on opposite sides of a handle strap, hooks of one half are pressed into slots of the other half, and then the halves are slid until the overhangs fill the wedge-shaped spaces. A set screw may be threaded into a channel that leads to a slot, until the end of the set screw abuts an engaged hook.
