Abstract
A unitized molded plastic carrier for paired bottles or other containers features an over the top handle for lifting and carrying and a separator partition for the bottle receiving compartments of the carrier which materially strengthens the construction. The carrier may be nested telescopically with identical carriers within a minimum vertical space and plural carriers are receivable in a parent carrying case. A strong and economical carrier utilizing a minimum of moldable material is provided.
Claims11
A carrier for a pair of container units comprising a continuous marginal frame of roughly rectangular configuration and being elongated, opposing pairs of legs depending from said frame near the opposite ends and longitudinal center thereof and forming rectangular arrays of legs with the arrays separated somewhat near the longitudinal center of said frame, bottom webs joined with the lower ends of the legs in said rectangular arrays of legs and forming with the arrays of legs and with said marginal frame a pair of discrete container unit cells, a substantially T-shaped divider separating said cells substantially at the longitudinal center of said frame and including a transverse upper bar joined with opposite sides of said frame and a generally vertical leg substantially at the transverse center of said frame joined at its lower end to one of said bottom webs, and an over-top handle for said carrier extending parallel to said transverse upper bar at the longitudinal center of said frame and having side arm portions joined to said frame and said T-shaped divider.
A carrier for containers comprising a skeleton frame defining at least two side-by-side container cells, said frame including a top marginal portion and legs depending from the top marginal portion to define corners for said cells, bottom webs joined with the lower ends of the legs and forming bottom walls for the cells, a top-to-bottom divider joined with said top marginal portion and extending transversally of said top marginal portion and said divider is also joined with a bottom web substantially in the area adjacent to where the centers of the side-by-side container cells are aligned, and between said cells and separating said cells and preventing contact of containers within the side-by-side cells, and a top central handle for the carrier joined with the top marginal portion of said frame and being substantially parallel to said divider where the divider joins the top marginal portion, said carrying handle also being joined with the top of said divider.
A carrier for a pair of container units comprising a continuous marginal frame of roughly rectangular configuration and being elongated, opposing pairs of legs depending from said frame near the opposite ends and longitudinal center thereof and forming rectangular arrays of legs with the arrays separated somewhat near the longitudinal center of said frame, bottom webs joined with the lower ends of the legs in said rectangular arrays of legs and forming with the arrays of legs and with said marginal frame a pair of discrete container unit cells, a substantially T-shaped divider separating said cells substantially at the longitudinal center of said frame and including a transverse upper bar joined with opposite sides of said frame and a generally vertical leg substantially at the transverse center of said frame joined at its lower end to one of said bottom webs, and an over-top handle for said carrier at the longitudinal center of said frame and having side arm portions joined to said frame and said T-shaped divider, said marginal frame including frame ends which are bowed outwardly, and said transverse upper bar of the T-shaped divider being bowed roughly in parallelism with one of said frame ends.
