A universally fitting, removable padded wraparound luggage handle cover includes a substantially square and planar interior sheet of a cushioning, preferably foam-like material. About the cushioning material is peripherally secured a top and a bottom sheet of a flexible high woven fabric. To the top sheet of the fabric is secured an elongate strip of hook-and-loop material having a width in a range of about 1 to about 3.5 centimeters and secured to the top sheet along one entire edge thereof. A second or bottom strip of hook-and-loop material, generally complemental in width to the top strip, is secured to the bottom sheet of fabric along an edge opposite to the edge at which the top strip, is secured and in which the respective fabric edges define a distance therebetween in a range of about 12 to about 17 centimeters. The bottom sheet of fabric is preferably provided with a transparent envelope having one free edge into which may be inserted owner identification or other information. The thickness of the inventive removable wraparound handle cover is at its maximum when the hook-and-loop strips are secured to each other so that the entire handle cover assumes the geometry of an annular solid ellipsoid. In such condition, the strip defines a maximum thickness of the structure of about one centimeter. The strips and cushioning define an elongate zone of maximum thickness of the inventive handle cover that may be readily positioned by the user to protect a part of the hand or fingers that is most susceptible to pain or fatigue.

1. A universally fitting removable padded wrap-around container handle cover, comprising:(a) a substantially square and planar interior layer of resilient cushioning material having an uncompressed thickness of between about 2 to about 7 millimeters sufficient to conform to the geometry of fingers and hand of a user to provide enhance stability of grip and to distribute the pressure across an area having a width of a normal adult human hand;(b) a top and a bottom sheet of a flexible fabric, each sheet being substantially square and planar complementary to the shape of the cushioning material and each sheet being peripherally secured to each other with said cushioning material secured at least peripherally therebetween;(c) a top strip, comprising pressure actuated securement and detachment means, having a width of about 1 to about 3.5 centimeters secured to said top sheet of fabric along one entire edge thereof;(d) a bottom strip, also comprising pressure-actuated securement and detachment means, generally complemental in width to said top strip, said bottom strip secured to said bottom sheet of fabric along an edge thereof opposite to said one edge at which said top strip is secured, in which said respective sheets edges define a distance therebetween of between about 12 to about 17 centimeters; and(e) a transparent envelope of a rectangular shape having a long side and a short side, secured at three edges thereof to said bottom sheet with said long side of said envelope being aligned in parallel with said top and bottom strips, thereby providing one edge thereof into which may be inserted an identification or notice of a type desired by a user. 2. The handle cover as recited in claim 1, in which edges of said top and bottom sheets transverse to said edges associated with said securing strips define a distance therebetween of about 12 to about 17 centimeters. 3. The handle cover as recited in claim 2, in which a thickness of an entirety of said cover taken transversely through a plane of overlap of said respective securing strips, when secured to each other, defines a thickness of about 1 centimeter. 4. The handle cover as recited in claim 2, in which said flexible fabric comprises a polyester denier in a range of between about 400 to about 800. 5. The handle cover as recited in claim 2, in which said cushioning material comprises a polyurethane foam. 6. The handle cover as recited in claim 2, in which each of said press-actuated securement means comprise hook-and-loop means. 7. The handle cover as recited in claim 5, in which each of said press-actuated securement means comprise hook-and-loop means. 8. A multi-functional luggage handle cover comprising:(a) a substantially square and planar interior layer of resilient cushioning material having an uncompressed thickness of between about 2 to about 7 millimeters sufficient to conform to the geometry of fingers and hand of a user to provide enhance stability of grip and to distribute the pressure across an area having a width of a normal adult human hand;(b) a top and a bottom sheet of a flexible fabric, each sheet being substantially square and planar complementary to the shape of the cushioning material and each sheet being peripherally secured to each other with said cushioning material secured at least peripherally therebetween;(c) a top strip, comprising pressure actuated securement and detachment means, having a width of about 1 to about 3.5 centimeters secured to said top sheet of fabric along one entire edge thereof;(d) a bottom strip, also comprising pressure-actuated securement and detachment means, generally complemental in width to said top strip, said bottom strip secured to said bottom sheet of fabric along an edge thereof opposite to said one edge at which said top strip is secured, in which said respective sheets edges define a distance therebetween of between about 12 to about 17 centimeters;(e) a transparent envelope of a rectangular shape having a long side a nd a short side, secured at three edges thereof to said bottom sheet with a long side of said envelope being aligned in parallel with said top and bottom strips, thereby providing one edge thereof into which may be inserted an identification or notice of a type desired by a user; and(f) a graphic on said top sheet proving a means of luggage identification, notice of cultural affiliation, advertising space, or artistic expression. 9. The handle cover as recited in claim 8, in which said flexible fabric comprises a polyester denier in a range of between about 400 to about 800. 10. The handle cover as recited in claim 9, in which said cushioning material comprises a polyurethane foam. 11. The handle cover as recited in claim 10, in which said polyurethane foam has a density of between about 10 to about 20 mg/cc. 12. The handle cover as recited in claim 11, in which each of said press-actuated securement means comprise hook-and-loop means.
