A wire handle accessory for use with a wire handle has a body having a first end portion, a second end portion, a top portion, and a bottom portion, the upper portion including a channel that extends from the first end portion to the second end portion, the channel having an open top that forms a recess into the top portion, wherein the recess is sized, shaped, and adapted to receive a portion of the wire handle that supports an object. A retention mechanism allows the wire handle accessory to be removably retained on the wire handle when the wire handle is received in the recess of the body. The bottom portion of the body includes a grasping surface that is graspable by a user when carrying the object, the bottom portion surface having a width that is larger than the width of the wire handle that is receivable in the recess so that the weight of the object can be distributed across a wider surface than when the wire handle alone is used to carry the object. In one version, the first end portion and/or second end portion of the body comprises a tool, such as a paint can opener.

Improvements in a carrying handle cushion for a wire to provide a handle or grip for a wire handle of a bucket to increase the tactile surface area. The grip uses two gates on opposite sides of the handle where the wire handle (from the bucket) passes through the grip. The wire passes through a one-way lock that retains the handle to prevent the grip from being accidentally dislodged from the bucket wire. Lifting the handle on the wire will engage the handle using only the weight of a filled bucket. While a low amount of force can be applied to engage the grip onto the wire, the handle is not removed with an inverse force. Upon engagement of the grip there is an audible and tactile indication that the grip has been completely engaged on to the bucket wire.

A system for a carrying device to carry and transport bags including a carrier assembly and a closure assembly. The carrier assembly includes a carrier body that is U-shaped and grasped within the palm of a user. The carrier body includes a foam outer portion to provide comfort to the user during usage. The carrier body also includes a rigid inner portion which is where bag handles are secured thereto. The bags remain secured within a cavity defined by the inner portion. To ensure that the bags remain secured within the carrier body a closure of the closure assembly is secured to the carrier body. The closure selectively opens to allow access to the cavity to secure or remove bags from carrier body.

A bucket holder is presented for mounting to a user's clothing article, such as a belt. The bucket holder comprises a belt portion and a handle portion with an outer wire entrance. A belt portion has a belt slot that configured to place a user's belt through. The handle portion comprises a grip slot that is configured to mount a bucket handle having a wire portion and a grip. The bucket holder is designed to first place the wire portion through the outer wire entrance and then slid the grip into the grip slot. The handle portion further comprises a first wire slot and a second wire slot. The first wire slot configured to hold the wire portion when the outer entrance is facing upward, and the second wire slot configured to hold the bucket holder when the outer wire entrance is facing downward.

An apparatus for holding a mask for covering a mouth and a nose of a user is disclosed. The mask can comprise at least one strap. The apparatus can comprise a handle having a first end and a second end spaced relative to a central axis. First and second arms can be coupled to the second end of the handle. The first and second arms can extend from the handle in a direction from the first end of the handle to the second end of the handle and are spaced from each other relative to a first transverse axis. Each of the first and second arms can comprise at least one strap retainer that is configured to receive the at least one strap so that the at least one strap is inhibited from sliding relative to the at least one strap retainer.

A bag gripping device includes a flexible bag gripping member having a top end portion, a bottom end portion, and first and second side end portions. The flexible bag gripping member includes first and second primary surfaces. The device includes a flexible hand-strap member having first and second end portions. The first end portion is coupled to the first primary surface at the first side end portion. The second end portion is coupled to the first primary surface at the second side end portion. The device includes a first hook-and-loop portion that is coupled to the first primary surface at the bottom end portion. The device includes a second hook-and-loop portion that is coupled to the second primary surface at the top end portion and is removably coupled to the first hook-and-loop portion such that the flexible bag gripping member holds a handle of a bag thereon.

A multi-purpose folding bag system with a handle, having the form of a decorating element-keyring, consisting of the main body of cylindrical shape, at the one end of which there is a detachable head, which when detached, allows the net bag located in the storage place of the main body to unfold, and when it is then fitted to the other end of the main body, an anatomical handle is created for the easy and safe transport of the items placed into the net bag. Following its use, the net bag is repositioned within the storage place, whereas the detachable head is attached to the free end of the main body which again acquires the form of a decorative element-keyring.

An improved gripping member for a weight bearing container. The gripping member is specifically designed to either replace an existing gripping member, or improve a two part handle for a weight bearing container by providing a larger diameter gripping surface. The improved gripping member is formed of two mating halves that can be releasably attached to form a cylindrical gripping surface with a relatively large diameter. When attached about an existing gripping member or wire handle portion of a two part handle the inventive gripping member provides a large diameter gripping surface to distribute the weight of the container about a larger portion of the user's palm.
