Patent attributes
A carrying aid for t-shirt bags (aka plastic grocery bags) and other similar bags is disclosed. When carried without the use of some assistive device, the weight of the bags can cause an unpleasant cutting sensation across the user's fingers. This device wraps around the bags' handle loops and reversibly attached to itself forming a flattened tube containing the handles. The carrying aid cushions the finger stress caused by the bags and keeps the bags linked together when placed down. A strip of a rigid material may be included to further distribute the bags' weight. Further, the carrying aid may be imprinted with advertising or loyalty program insignias, and may also be linked by a carabineer or similar. The device can be removed and reused as needed.
