  • Patent number: 6082532
    Abstract: A blank for carrying bottles with an engaging edge has a center panel, a pair of securing panels, a pair of handle panels, an exterior grip support panel and an interior grip support panel. The center panel has a plurality of apertures formed therein. The securing panels have apertures formed therein to match the number of apertures in the center panel. The securing panels also have individual flaps formed in association therewith therein and aligned substantially perpendicular to the handle. When the blank is folded and formed into a carrier, the apertures of the center panel and the apertures and individual flaps of the securing panel create a corresponding number of bottle receiving collars. Consequently, when bottles are placed into the carrier, each bottle receiving collar engages the engaging edge of each bottle and supports each bottle during transport.
