Abstract
The present invention relates to a utility handle for lifting, lowering, supporting and maneuvering articles. The device comprises a generally S-shaped handle including a front portion that is engageable with the article and a handgrip member to be grasped by the hand of the user and further including a rear portion that is engageable with the forearm of the user. The utility handle substantially transfers the load of any attached article from the user's wrist to his forearm, and through the elbow joint, to the user's upper arm muscles to facilitate handling of the article.
