- a plurality of carrying units removably engaged with said base seat and mounted in said receiving space to partition said receiving space into a plurality of receiving compartments which are arranged in a front-rear direction, each of said carrying units being configured for a plurality of the condiment bottles to be mountable thereon and arranged in a left-right direction that is transverse to the front-rear direction;
- and
- at least one elastic strap disposed on an outer wall surface of said surrounding wall and cooperating with said surrounding wall to elastomerically grip a condiment pack, said surrounding wall having two first connecting features which are aligned with each other in the front-rear direction, said elastic strap including two second connecting features which are respectively and removably connected with said first connecting features, and a strap body which interconnects said second connecting features to elastomerically grip the condiment pack, one of said first and second connecting features being in form of a recess, and the other one of said first and second connecting features being in form of a snap fastener which is removably engaged in said recess,
- wherein said bottom wall of said base seat has a plurality of engaging slots which are formed in an upper wall surface thereof and which are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction, each of said engaging slots extending in the left-right direction and being opened upwardly to communicate with said receiving space;
- each of said carrying units including a carrying seat on which the plurality of the condiment bottles are disposed, and at least one engaging rib which projects from a lower surface of said carrying seat, which extends in the left-right direction, and which is separably engaged in a corresponding one of said engaging slots, said carrying seat having a lower plate on which the plurality of the condiment bottles are disposed and arranged in the left-right direction, said at least one engaging rib projecting from a lower surface of said lower plate;
- said surrounding wall of said base seat including an inclined wall portion which extends from one of front and rear ends of said bottom wall upwardly and is inclined away from the other one of said front and rear ends of said bottom wall, each of said carrying units being turnable relative to said base seat about said at least one engaging rib between an upright position, where said lower plate is superimposed upon and parallel to said bottom wall, and a tilted position, where said carrying unit is tilted toward said inclined wall portion and abuts against one of said inclined wall portion and an adjacent one of said carrying units.
