member 22 of the block 10 such that when lifted weight of the block 10 will transfer through the web member 22 to the rods 12 14 in some embodiments the rods may comprise steel rebar or aluminum further the carrier 5 may comprise more than two rods and in some embodiments the carrier may comprise three four five six or more rods these rods 12 14 which may be oriented parallel to each other turn upwardly at an angle a after sufficient bearing surface has been established generally at least u00be of the depth of the block until they reach a height such that when the block 10 is engaged a sufficient space is created above the block 10 to allow grasping by a human hand at this point and under load the rods 12 14 may bend back again to run parallel with the surface of the web member on which the block 10 is bearing thus the individual rods 12 14 attain comprehensive u shapes as viewed from the side when engaged with a block 10 as shown in fig3 in some embodiments the 12 14 rods are in pairs to provide stability when transporting a block 10 so long as the weight of the block is distributed perpendicularly between the two rods 12 14 the block 10 is not apt to swing or rotate during transit however to provide a single readily graspable handle the rods 12 14 are angled toward one another in the front plane and though separated at the bottom are joined at the top by means of welding or other securing method that would be known to those of ordinary skill in the art that does not obstruct a fluid grasp by the hand furthermore in some embodiments in order to provide.
