Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Plastic shopping bags carried by hand have a tendency to, cut one's fingers if they are heavy or carried over a long distance. This invention offers a convenient means of carrying several such bags with more ease, whether it be from the grocery store, or even just from your car to the kitchen. The sturdy hook holds bags securely, so the carrier can free one hand for opening doors or paying bus fare without losing a grip on his parcels. The handle distributes the weight evenly over the fingers minimizing the cutting effect. The device is compact enough to carry in one's bag or car at all times for planned or unexpected purchases.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 3, 1993. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 3, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 3, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
