Abstract:

A portable hand held carrier for plastic, net or canvas bags and other similar handled objects which has an elongated handle section with hinge bosses fixed at the breech end, that is connected to an elongated connecting arm tongue with a hinge pin. The elongated handle section has an internal spring-loaded pull pin bougie that extends through both ends of the elongated handle section. The connecting arm section has a connecting arm locking hole which is to be engaged by the elongated handle section spring-loaded pull pin. The connecting arm section is convexed away from and biased from the elongated handle section. The spring-loaded pull pin can be retracted to disengage the connecting arm section from the elongated handle section which allows item handles to be passed on to and off of the connecting arm section and then to be re-engaged and hand carried by the elongated handle section. The spring-loaded pull pin in the elongated handle section has a pull pin annulus at one end and a bolt end at the other which extracts and retracts into the connecting arm locking hole of the connecting arm section. This spring-loaded pull pin passes through the connecting arm locking hole to prevent the elongated handle section and connecting arm section from becoming accidentally disengaged.
