I, JOSEPH GEORGE ROLLASON of Spencer Street, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for
"A NEW OR IMPROVED APPLIANCE OR APPARATUS FOR CARRYING PARCELS AND
OTHER OBJECTS to be as follows:-
دو
My invention relates to an appliance for the carrying of parcels and other like
objects without employing string as the means by which the parcel or other object
is suspended or held while being carried; and the object of my invention is to
furnish a simple and efficient parcel carrier or suspender that will not cut or tire
the hand of the person using it.
The carrier or suspender consists essentially of a safety hook or loop having a
yielding spring tongue on one side, which opens inwards when pressed in that
direction; but when in its normal condition, it closes the opening formed between
itself and the turned up end of the suspending loop. At the top end of this loop
is a cross holding or supporting bar, rounded or curved on its underside, so that
the shape of this bar with the loop before described, resembles the letter T.
shank forms the safety loop or hook, while the cross top which is at right angles to
the shank forms the supporter or means by which the appliance is suspended
between the two fingers of the persons using it.
The
The parcel carrier is produced from a single piece of sheet metal, cut out from a
blank of a cruciform shape.
The other part of the carrier consists of an elastic or other band or strap, having
mounts at both ends provided with long eyes or openings near their extreme ends.
These eyes or openings are for the purpose of connecting the terminal ends of the
band to the safety hook or loop. Thus when a person requires to carry a parcel, it
is only necessary to pass the yielding band around the object and connect the ends
of the band to the safety hook, then pass the shank between two fingers of the
user with the cross bar resting or being supported froin the upper side.
The parcel carrier hereinbefore described, can be used independently of the band,
by connecting the hooked part of the safety loop with the string or other material
used in the tieing up of a parcel.
Although I have only described my invention in connection with a parcel, yet
my said invention is applicable for carrying other objects such as bags, purses,
baskets and the like.

I, JOSEPH GEORGE ROLLASON of Spencer Street, Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for "A NEW
OR IMPROVED APPLIANCE OR APPARATUS FOR CARRYING PARCELS AND OTHER
OBJECTS," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
: My invention relates to an appliance for the carrying of parcels and other like
objects, without employing string as the means by which the parcel or other object
is suspended or held while being carried; and the object of my invention is to
furnish a simple and efficient parcel carrier or suspender that will not cut or tire

The carrier or suspender consists essentially of a safety hook or loop having a
yielding spring tongue on one side, which opens inwards when pressed in that
direction, but when in its normal condition, it closes the opening formed between
itself and the turned up end of the suspending loop. At the top end of this loop
is a cross holding or supporting bar, rounded or curved on its underside, so that
the shape of this bar with the loop before described, resembles the letter T.

The parcel carrier is produced from a single piece of sheet metal, cut out from a
blank of a cruciform shape.
The other part of the carrier consists of an elastic or other band or strap, having
mounts at both ends provided with long eyes or openings near their extreme ends.
These eyes or openings are for the purpose of connecting the terminal ends of the
band to the safety hook or loop. Thus when a person requires to carry a parcel, it
is only necessary to pass the yielding band around the object and connect the ends
of the band to the safety hook, then pass the shank between two fingers of the
user with the cross bar resting or being supported from the upper side.
The parcel carrier hereinbefore described, can be used independently of the band,
by connecting the hooked part of the safety loop with the string or other material
used in the tieing up of a parcel.
Although I have only described my invention in connection with a parcel, yet
my said invention is applicable for carrying other objects such as bags, purses,
baskets and the like.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying Drawing the
manner in which the same is to be performed.
Figure 1 is a side elevation, figure 2 is an end elevation, and figure 3 is a plan of
a parcel carrier made according to my invention. Figure 4 is a vertical section of
the same upon the dotted lines A B figure 1. Figure 5 is a single blank from
which the said carrier is made. Figure 6 is a carrier provided with an elastic or
other band or strap, having mounts with eyes or holes at its terminal ends which
passes over the depending hooked end of the carrier.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures
of the Drawing.

page_text: a is a safety loop or hook having upon one side a yielding tongue a² which opens
inwards (as represented in dotted lines figure 2) when pressed in that direction,
but closes the opening formed between itself and the turned up end of the
suspending loop, when in its normal position. At the top end of this loop or hook,
is a cross bar 6 branching in two opposite directions, so as to form a holding
expedient in which the depending safety hook a depend at its middle from the
underside thereof. The branching arms of the cross bar are rounded or curved
at their undersides, so as to present a convex surface to the fingers of a person
using it.
The curved handle bar is rounded off at its ends, as well as at its sides; this
troughing or convexing of the metal of both the handle and the hook, gives great
rigidity and strength to the carrier.
In figure 6, c is an elastic or other band or strap, and d, d are mounts secured at
its terminal ends, and d² are holes or eyes in the said mounts by which the said
band is suspended from the hook a of the carrier.
The said band or strap c passes around an object that is required to be carried
instead of employing string, or the band may be used when string or other tieings
up are employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
First. A parcel carrier, consisting of a troughed shaped cross holding bar or
handle, (with the concaved side presented downwards) and having depending from
its underside, a safety hook or loop, with a spring tongue on one side, which opens
upwards, substantially as described and illustrated.
Secondly.-A parcel carrier, as described and illustrated, made from a single
blank and from sheet metal, substantially as set forth.
Thirdly. A parcel carrier in combination with an elastic or other band or strap
with clips having eyes or linking holes at or near its ends, for the purpose
substantially as described and illustrated.
