Abstract

The present invention relates to a shopping bag having handles and hooks to be attached and stretched out in or on diametrically opposite side walls of a shopping cart.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A shopping bag ( 1 ) having at least two handles ( 2 ) and a sack ( 3 ), the handles ( 2 ) being attached on the open side ( 4 ) of the sack ( 3 ) on opposite lengthwise edges ( 5 ) of the sack, each handle ( 2 ) having at least one carrying handle ( 6 ) and/or a carrying bracket and hooks ( 7 ) for hooking in, on, or over opposite walls of a frame ( 8 ) or vessel, wherein at least two hooks ( 7 ) of a handle ( 2 ) are spaced by at least half of the length of the lengthwise edges ( 8 ) of the handle and are positioned on the lateral surface ( 9 ) of the handle which lies diametrically opposite the open side of the sack.  
   
   
       2 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sack ( 2 ) has an essentially rectangular opening on the open side ( 4 ) in the stretched out state, the transverse edges ( 1 ) and/or transverse surfaces of the sack which are not termainated on top by a handle ( 2 ) are able to be stretched out against an elastic resistance.  
   
   
       3 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the hooks ( 7 ) on the handle ( 2 ) spaced furthest apart are positioned in and/or on the outer fourth of the handle  2 , outside the region of the carrying handles ( 6 ) and/or carrying brackets.  
   
   
       4 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the handle extends over at least 80% of the sack width on the lengthwise edges ( 5 ) of the open side ( 4 ).  
   
   
       5 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the hooks ( 7 ) are implemented as projecting essentially rectangularly and/or horizontally outwardly, i.e., away from the open side ( 4 ), and are subsequently curved downward.  
   
   
       6 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the hooks ( 7 ) have a thickness of less than 2 cm measured parallel to the handle ( 2 ).  
   
   
       7 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the shopping bag ( 1 ) further comprises a shoulder strap ( 12 ) for carrying and closing the shopping bag, the shoulder strap ( 12 ) having a closing body ( 13 ) on each end to receive a carrying belt ( 14 ) and two space parallel hooks (shoulder strap hooks, 15), at least two pairs of hooks (handle hooks,  7 ) being positioned approximately at one height and on opposite sides of the handles ( 2 ) which are moved together, so that the handles may be enclosed by being engaged by the shoulder strap hooks ( 15 ), with which the two handles ( 2 ) are held together between the shoulder strap hooks ( 15 ) of the shoulder strap ( 12 ).  
   
   
       8 . The shopping bag according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the should strap hooks ( 15 ) are implemented and attached on the closing body ( 13 ) in such a way that when the closing body ( 13 ) is displaced along the upper edge ( 16 ) of the pair of handles—independently of the direction—in the region of the handle hooks ( 7 ), each of the stwo should strap hooks ( 15 ), which are positioned in parallel and point downward, engages in one of the two handle hooks.  
   
   
       9 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sack ( 3 ) of the shopping bag is embodied as at least partially transparent.  
   
   
       10 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sack ( 3 ) is manufactured from three surfaces, one surface, the main surface ( 17 ), connecting the two handles ( 2 ) without a seam and the ends of this main surface ( 17 ) being connected essentially over the entire sack width to one handle ( 2 ) each and the two remaining transverse surfaces ( 11 ) being connected to the main surface ( 17 ).  
   
   
       11 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that each of the two handles ( 2 ) has at least one catch ( 20 ), each catch ( 2 ) being assignable to a corresponding interruption ( 21 ) on the other handle ( 2 ′) when the handles are moved together, the catch ( 20 ) holding the handles ( 2 ) plane-parallel and at a disance when guided through the interruption ( 21 ) and the catch ( 2 ) having at least one support ( 22 ), which moves past the interruption surface and catches behind it.  
   
   
       12 . The shopping bag according to  claim 11 , characterized in that the catch has a lower support ( 22 ) having a rectangular shape for engaging behind a region ( 23 ) which tapers to the front and is curved slightly upward on top.  
   
   
       13 . The shopping bag according to  claim 12 , characterized in that the catch has a recess ( 24 ) between the upper region ( 23 ) which curves slightly upward and the lower support ( 22 ), so that the upper region ( 23 ) which curves slightly upward and the lower support ( 22 ) and/or the region of the contact surface ( 25 ) may be moved together elastically behind the lower support.  
   
   
       14 . The shopping bag according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the shopping cart has a wire basket ( 26 ) and the handles ( 2 ) of the shopping bag ( 1 ) are hung diametrically opposite one another on the upper edges ( 28 ) of the wire basket and/or further below in the wire mesh in horizontal struts ( 29 ) using the hooks ( 7 ).  
   
   
       15 . The shopping bag according to  claim 10 , characterized in that the two remaining transverse surfaces ( 11 ) are connected to the main surface ( 17 ) by gluing, welding or sewing.  
   
   
       16 . The shopping bag according to  claim 10 , characterized in that the shopping bag is delimited on top by an elastic cord ( 19 ).  
   
   
       17 . The shopping bag according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the hooks ( 7 ) on the handle ( 2 ) spaced furthest apart are positioned in and/or on the outer sixth of the handle ( 2 ).  
   
   
       18 . The shopping bag according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the handle extends over at least 95% of the sack width on the lengthwise edges ( 5 ) of the open side ( 4 ).  
   
   
       19 . The shopping bag according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the hooks ( 7 ) have a thickness of less than 8 mm measured parallel to the handle ( 2 ).
