Stackable bottle case

A plastic, stackable bottle case having compartment divisions for holding and separating bottles, comprising:

• a case frame in the shape of a box with four side walls, a bottom surface and an open top;
• at least one support profile at the intersections of each said side wall with another said side wall;
• a peripheral handle strip in juxtaposition with said open top;
• a peripheral bottom strip in juxtaposition with said bottom surface;
• said support profile interconnecting between said handle strip and said bottom strip;
• said support profile, said handle strip and said bottom strip defining the boundary limits of an open area in each of said side walls extending from said handle strip to said bottom strip;
• at least one support strip disposed in said open areas in a position approximately between two of the bottles in at least one of said side walls and extending from said bottom strip toward said handle strip to form at least two display windows extending from said handle strip to said bottom strip;
• means permitting stacking engagement between at least two of the cases;
• said support profile and said support strips being self-contained, smooth-walled hollow sections drawn laterally into the interior of the case and shaped so as to conform to the contours of the bottles and form support surfaces therefor;
• wherein, said open area permits the user to view a major portion of the contents of the case without removing the bottles or otherwise opening the case;
• and
• the outer surfaces of said handle strip, said bottom strip, said support profile and said support strip lying in substantially the same plane.
