The coupling portion has an elongated aperture adapted to be engaged by the head of a screw threaded into the article. The aperture includes a large diameter portion for initially cooperating with the screw head under no load conditions, and a smaller diameter portion for cooperating with the screw head under load conditions whereby the article can be safely supported and transported by the carrier device.
