Abstract
Abstract A carrier for bottles or the like arranged in package form, such as a six-pack, and particularly designed for bottles of the molded glass envelope type with thin and substantially uniform wall thickness, and wherein the bottom of the bottle, which is often of non-supporting configuration, is capped with a cup-like base member or coaster of less brittle material for protecting the bottle and providing a self-supporting base therefor; the carrier being in the form of a sheet of suitable material, as plastic, with one or more vertical walls lapped with the side walls of the base members and secured thereto by releasable fastening means by which the package may be supported for transport by grasping handle grip means adjacent the tops of the packaged bottles; the handle grip means being adjacent the top of a single vertical wall disposed between rows of bottles in the package, or being on a horizontal shelf portion joining two vertical walls in which case the vertical walls are disposed exteriorly of the bottles and joined to corresponding exterior side wall portions of the cup-like base members.
