Collapsible container carrier

A collapsible device for holding at least one container comprising:

• a. a frame having a first frame side, a second frame side, a first frame end, and a second frame end;
• b. a first upper support structure coupled to an upper portion of the frame on the first frame side, wherein the first upper support structure is configured to pivot relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the first upper support structure includes at least one ring member, wherein the first upper support structure has a first end and a second end;
• c. a second upper support structure coupled to the upper portion of the frame on the second frame side, wherein the second upper support structure is configured to pivot relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the second upper support structure includes at least one ring member, wherein the second upper support structure has a first end and a second end;
• d. a first lower support structure coupled to a lower portion of the frame on the first frame side, wherein the first lower support structure is configured to pivot relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position;
• e. a second lower support structure coupled to the lower portion of the frame on the second frame side, wherein the second lower support structure is configured to pivot relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position;
• f. a first end support structure coupled to the first frame end, wherein the first end support structure is movable relative to the frame between an extended position and a retracted position;
• and
• g. a second end support structure coupled to the second frame end, wherein the second end support structure is movable relative to the frame between an extended position and a retracted position;
• wherein the upper support structures and the lower support structures in the extended positions are configured to cooperate to support at least one first container;
• wherein the first end support structure is configured to support a second container;
• wherein the second end support structure is configured to support a third container.

A collapsible device for holding at least one container comprising:

• a. a frame;
• b. a pair of upper support structures coupled to an upper portion of the frame, wherein each upper support structure is configured to pivot relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein each upper support structure includes at least one ring member, wherein each ring member defines a circular opening configured to receive a container when the corresponding upper support structure is in the extended position;
• c. a pair of lower support structures coupled to a lower portion of the frame, wherein each lower support structure is configured to pivot relative to the frame between a retracted position and an extended position;
• and
• d. a handle coupled to the frame, wherein the handle is movable relative to the frame independently of the upper support structures and the lower support structures between an extended position and a retracted position;
• wherein the upper support structures and the lower support structures in the extended positions are configured to cooperate to support a pair of containers;
• wherein each upper support structure is configured to overlap with a respective lower support structure when the upper and lower support structures are in the retracted position;
• wherein the handle in the extended position is configured to be grasped by a user to transport the collapsible device with the upper support structures and the lower support structures in the extended position.
