Abstract
A container carrier which is made of a foldable flat material. The container carrier includes a box-shaped carrying container which is open at top and has a bottom wall, longitudinal walls, and end walls, a middle wall parallel to the two longitudinal walls in the carrying container that has a carrying handle at top. The container carrier also includes transverse webs parallel to the end walls between the middle wall and the longitudinal walls for forming compartments in the carrying container to receive containers therein, and outwardly inclined bottom slopes which are joined to the longitudinal-sided edges of the bottom wall at bottom and to the lower edges of the longitudinal walls at top.

A container carrier made of a foldable flat material, comprising:
- a box-shaped carrying container which is open at top and has a bottom wall, longitudinal walls, and end walls,
- a middle wall parallel to the two longitudinal walls in the carrying container that has a carrying handle at the top,
- transverse webs parallel to the end walls between the middle wall and the longitudinal walls for forming compartments in the carrying container to receive containers therein;
- outwardly inclined bottom slopes which are joined to the longitudinal-sided edges of the bottom wall at bottom and to the lower edges of the longitudinal walls at the top;
- and wherein bottles having lower bottle edges, a bottle axis, and bottle dimensions, are inserted into the carrier and wherein the container carrier has dimensions made to match with the dimensions of the bottles so that the bottles are pinched in the compartments in the area of the bottom slopes;
- and further wherein the inclination of the bottom wall slopes towards the middle wall is approximately equal to the inclination of the lower bottle edges towards the bottle axis of the bottles to be inserted into the container carrier or exceeds it somewhat
- and further wherein the cross dimensions of the compartments in the carrying container, above the area of the bottom slopes, slightly exceed the bottle dimensions, so that the bottle can be comfortably inserted into the compartment
- and further wherein the bottom slopes being without openings, at least in the area on which the lower bottle edges rest.
