Abstract:

This invention is a device to aid the disabled in placing and retrieving items from hard to reach places in a kitchen. Specifically, it aids in placing and retrieving frozen foods off a top shelf of a freezer. The device wraps around freezer containers and uses a string and hook on the inside of a freezer to pull the item into and out of the freezer. The rubber hooks are attached to the freezer on the top edge. The rubber holder wraps around a container and a string attaches to the container and loops around the hook. The free end of the string is then used to raise and lower the food item to the handicapped person. A tag located on the free end of the string identifies the particular food item.
