Abstract

An openable handle generally formed as a spring-closing carbiner is provided for attachment to a manually transportable object and has elongated arms connected to the transportable object in spaced relation to each other. The handle is attached to the transportable object so as not to be separable therefrom and one end of the first arm and one end of the second arm each extend outwardly from the attached transportable object. A portion for making the handle openable is located at a site between the outwardly extending ends of the first arm and the second arm, for passage therethrough of a member from which the transportable object is to be suspended.
