Abstract
Abstract A support assembly for utilization with generally horizontal handles, bars, shafts and the like for securement of articles thereto. The support assembly includes both a unit which is integrally formed with a handle and a discrete assembly for attachment to handles. The assembly is preferably of integrally molded plastic that comprises at least first and second hook portions adapted for supporting articles such as packages, clothes and purses from strollers, carts and the like. The assembly may also include a receptacle region adapted for the retention of a canned drink, baby bottle, loose articles or the like. The assembly provides a myriad of hook configurations and demountable attachment sections for the securement of loose articles such as purses, sweaters, towels or other infant items. In this manner, strollers, bicycles and the like may be rendered safer and more convenient for the user who must handle loose articles.
