A one-piece container carrier formed from a flat, generally rectangular, sheet of resilient material and having at least two sets of two sockets aligned in a row and formed in the body member for receiving and gripping beneath an enlarged rim on a reduced diameter neck portion on at least a pair of containers. A pair of handles are integrally joined at opposite ends thereof at four spaced corner portions to the body member and initially lie within a plane of the body member and along opposite lateral sides of the sockets. When the body member is deformed to bring the two sockets of each set into axial alignment with one another and the reduced diameter neck portion on each container is received in and extends through the axially aligned sockets of each set, the elasticity of the material forming the handles causes the handles to automatically adopt a shape between the respective opposite ends thereof that is substantially resiliently displaced out of the plane of a remaining portion of the body member while remaining on the aforesaid opposite lateral sides of the sockets.
A one-piece container carrier, comprising a flat, generally rectangular, sheet of resilient, elastically deformable, material, means defining at least two sets of two sockets in said body member and aligned in a single row for receiving therethrough and gripping therebeneath an enlargement on a reduced diameter neck portion on each of at least a pair of containers, and means defining at least one elongated integrally joined at opposite ends thereof to said body member at two spaced corner portions of said body member and initially lying within a plane of said body member and extending along one lateral side of said sockets parallel to said single row of said at least two sets of two sockets, said body member being formable to bring said two sockets of each set into axial alignment with one another, the reduced diameter neck portion on each container being adapted to be received in and extend through said axially aligned sockets of each set, the elasticity of the material forming said handle causing said handle to automatically adopt a shape between the respective opposite ends thereof that is substantially resiliently displaced out of the plane of a remaining portion of said body member while remaining on said one lateral side of said sockets.
