Abstract
A device for hand-carrying articles in cooperation with a string, strap, shoelace or the like includes a grip element for grasping of the device by a user. Support elements extend upwardly from opposed ends of the grip element, and arm elements are connected at proximal ends thereof to the support elements. Each of the arm elements defines a distal end, and the arm elements extend inwardly toward each other from the support elements with the distal ends positioned in closely spaced apart relationship with each other to form a gap therebetween. The arm elements are configured for enabling movement of the arm elements relative to each other to vary the size of the gap, and gripping elements are provided on the distal ends of the arm elements for enabling a string, strap, shoelace or the like to be tightly gripped and held in position in the gap between the arm elements.
