DEFINITION

Classification: 383/17

Including reinforcement or stress distribution means attached to or adjacent element:

(under subclass 6) Subject matter wherein the bag or element includes structure which enhances the transfer of the bag load to the lifting or suspending element.

(1) Note. Included in this and indented subclasses are arrangements that: (1) Strengthen the attachment of the element to the bag, (frequently by increasing the area of contact or reinforcing that area) and/or (2) effectively extend the handle down the sides of the bag or completely under the bag bottom (either as an extension of the handle material itself or as a reinforced strip).
