Abstract
A simple, inexpensive, portable carrying device for easing the manual carrying of containers with handles, such as full, plastic, grocery bags, is provided. The device comprises: (a) an upper grip portion comprising a grip which is adapted to be gripped in a person's hand, and a central, downwardly extending stub rod; and (b) a lower handle engagement portion comprising an upright central rod stem, and between one and ten hooks. The hooks depend from the upright central rod stem and are adapted to engage the handles of the portable containers. The upper grip portion is secured to the lower handle engagement portion by means of a joint such that the lower handle engagement portion can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise while the upper grip portion remains stationary.
