(This mechanical description is provided for specificity purposes only, and is not intended in any way to limit the dimensions, materials of production and/or scope of use regarding the "Shopper's Carry Ease.")

The Shopper's Carry Ease is a made of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material in cylindrical format, produced by injection molding.

This cylinder measures approximately five and one-half inches in length by three-quarters of an inch in diameter (5 ½" x ¾").

The endpoints of this cylinder are beveled to provide smooth edging.

At a distance of approximately five-sixteenths of an inch (5/16") from each endpoint of this cylinder is a hollow column, and through the entire three-quarters of an inch (¾") diameter of the cylinder. These two (2) hollow columns are each approximately five-sixteenths of one inch (5/16") in internal diameter.

Each of these hollow columns is intercepted lengthwise by open slots that match the columns in perpendicular alignment to the base cylinder in their three-quarters of an inch (¾") length. These slots have a width of approximately one-eighth of an inch (1/8") at their entry point from the top surface of the cylinder, and each of these slots tapers to approximately one-sixteenth of an inch (1/16") at their points of entry into their respective columns. Each endpoint of the cylinder, starting from the exterior of the slots, rises approximately one-third of an inch (1/3") in a triangular plane.

Each of the slots is in horizontal alignment to the columns they intercept, and both begin entry into their columns of alignment at the same radial degree about the circumference of the cylinder.

The sidewall edges of the slots are tapered to provide smooth edging.

In centered placement on, and enclosing about, the cylinder between the two (2) slots is a sleeve of durable foam material which measures approximately four inches (4") in length.

Tested & proven to carry the bags with comfort & security by the use of actual prototypes.
