Illuminating handle/strap
First Claim
1. An illuminating handle for a container comprising:
- a handle;
one or more light emitting diodes placed laterally along said handle;
a battery receptacle adapted to receive at least one battery;
wire connecting said light emitting diodes in series to said battery receptacle, at least one of the light emitting diodes is continually directed toward the container such that the at least one of the light emitting diodes illuminates the container when said at least one of the light emitting diodes is emitting light; and
a tube encasing said rigid handle, light emitting diodes, and wire.

Abstract
An electrically powered illuminating handle/strap for lifting, pulling, carrying, opening, holding or whatever. The light source is the handle/strap. Illumination can occur in different ways by aiming the light emitting means. Directions can be: generally, as in all directions; partially, such as drown into a container, at what it is attached to, or towards the person using it; specifically, such as at signage or a keyhole on or adjacent to what it is attached to; or in a combination of several directions at once. Different or combinations of light emitting means can be used. The handle can be rigid or flexible. This is a simple cost effective way to increase visibility and safety.
