Carrier for holding and transporting containers

A carrier for holding and transporting containers, said carrier comprising:

• a first mobile container carrier assembly and a second mobile container carrier assembly;
• each of said first and second mobile container carrier assemblies comprising a base and a cooperating bracket assembly attached to each said base having a top flange and a vertically displaced bottom flange;
• a separate pivot means located on each of the top and bottom flanges of each of said cooperating bracket assemblies, said separate pivot means on each of the top and bottom flanges aligned along a common vertical axis for allowing each of said first and second mobile container carrier assemblies to pivot about said common vertical axis with respect to one another;
• and
• means for locking said first mobile container carrier assembly at a pivoted orientation to said second mobile container carrier assembly to prevent movement of the entire carrier;
• whereby said separate pivoting means on each of the top and bottom flanges of each of said cooperating bracket assemblies maintain each of said first and second mobile container carrier assemblies on a common longitudinal plane to maintain proper balance of the carrier, and likewise allow for smooth pivoting of each of said first and second mobile container carrier assemblies about said common vertical axis to prevent jack-knifing during pivoted movement.
