Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to handles and more particularly relates to handles with retractable straps to secure to objects without handles.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- For convenience sake, handles have been added to all types of movable objects, such as luggage, shopping bags, boxes, etc. These handles have proven to be extremely helpful and advantageous. Unfortunately, there are many products that do not include handles to assist in transportation. Handles have not been attached to these products for the mere fact that the product may be unattractive with handles, the product may not function as intended with handles attached, or it simply costs too much to attach handles thereto.
- Additionally, some products with handles may still be difficult to carry due to the handle configuration. For example, boxes may be configured with handles that have been cut into the sides of the box, into which a user inserts the hands. These handles suffer from at least three distinct disadvantages. First, it requires both hands inserted into the handles to carry the box. In many situations, the user is already holding an object and it is therefore impossible to hold the object and carry the box at the same time. Second, the box may be loaded to a point that inserting ones hands into the handles is impeded by objects inside the box. Third, the handles tend to tear due to their placement as most of the weight bears on the bottom of the box, rather than on the sides.
- From the foregoing discussion, it should be apparent that a need exists for an apparatus and method for facilitating the lifting and movement of object that do not have handles already attached thereto.
- The present invention has been developed in response to the present state of the art, and in particular, in response to the problems and needs in the art that have not yet been fully solved by currently available handles that can be attached to movable objects. Accordingly, the present invention has been developed to provide an apparatus for attaching to movable objects that do not have handles that overcome many or all of the above-discussed shortcomings in the art.
- The apparatus, in one embodiment, is configured to facilitate movement of movable objects with an attachable handle. The handle includes a gripping section, a plurality of ductile members extending from the gripping section, and an attachment means attached to distal ends of the ductile members and configured to secure the object to the handle to facilitate movement thereof. In one embodiment, the ductile members connect at a central location within the gripping section. In another embodiment, the gripping section includes a slot on a side, which extends the length of the gripping section and configured such that a user can remove the ductile members from the gripping section to open a box or bag being held by the handle.
- In other embodiments, the gripping section may be plastic, fabric, metal, or other known material. The ductile members may be straps, rope, cords, or other suitable material. The attachment means may be a tacky material, which sticks to the object. However, the attachment means of one ductile member may also be attached to a corresponding attachment means of a different ductile member so that the attachment means does not have to-attach to the object; rather, the ductile members would wrap around the object.
- While the handle is not in use, a removable cover can be applied to the tacky material to prevent it from inadvertently sticking to the wrong object, the gripping section, or ductile members. Additionally, the gripping may be hollow to store the ductile members when the handle is not in use.
- A method is also presented for attaching a handle to an object. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of providing a gripping section, providing a plurality of ductile members protruding from the gripping section, providing attachment means to the ductile members to attach to the object and attaching the attachment means to enable a user to move the object using the handle.
