FIGS. 19-24 illustrate the preferred tongue portion 80 comprising an elongated T-shape 81 that defines opposing notches 82. Notches 82 are sized to cooperate with handle legs 12c and 12d as shown in FIG. 19. Preferably, notches 82 are sized to accommodate the legs of most retractable handles. In particular, the T-shape 81 defines notches deep enough to accommodate both narrowly spaced retractable handle legs and widely spaced retractable handle legs. Preferably, the notches are 4¼ inches long and ⅞ inches wide. FIG. 25 illustrates an alternative embodiment where the tongue 80 further comprises clasps that secure around handle legs 12c and 12d.
