Abstract
A handle apparatus is provided for mounting onto a roll-down type vehicle window. A hook of thin material and having a width of at least one inch extends over the top edge of the window. The inside surface of the hook forms a planar surface resting in contact with the inside surface of the window. A ring able to accommodate an adult hand extends in a generally downward direction and is attached to the hook. Alternatively, the ring is pivotably fixed to the hook, thereby allowing a variety of sizes of hands to use the device. The ring is preferably D-shaped or C-shaped. The hook material is thin enough to allow the window to close completely with the hook in place. The planar surface contacts the window, thereby holding the ring in a convenient position for a passenger's hand to hold and to grasp the grasping means. The hook is easily installed and removed from the window.
