Abstract: A composite package (100) comprises a plurality of primary packages (104) and a handle (108) attached at two extremities (110, 708) thereof to said composite package (100), the plurality of primary packages (104) being gathered into several secondary packages (102a, 102b), wherein said handle (108) comprises at least one separation line (112) which divides said handle (108) into a plurality of sub-handles (114a, 114b) each attached at the extremities thereof to one of the secondary packages (102a, 102b), such that when one of said plurality of secondary packages (102a, 102b) is extracted from the composite package (100), said handle (108) separates along said at least one separation line (112) into a plurality of sub-handles (114a, 114b) each attached to said one of the secondary packages (102a, 102b) and retained therewith.

Abstract: A carton for containing one or more articles, the carton comprising a series of walls for retaining said one or more articles within 5 the carton, wherein a presentation and retention means is incorporated within one of said walls. The presentation and retention means comprises a displaceable tab (62, 68) connected to the wall (24) in which the presentation and retention means is incorporated such that once displaced to create a window for displaying an article the displaceable tab is biased to return to its original position and 10 thereby retains the displayed article within the carton. Optionally, the biasing is achieved by virtue of the connection of the displaceable tab being about a non-linear hinge line. Additionally, or alternatively, this biasing is achieved by the displaceable tab being connected a hinge line (60b, 60) co-extensive with the extent of the displaceable tab.

Abstract: The portable beverage rack of the present invention is a generally square or rectangular receptacle which may safely store one or more bottles in u-shaped channels which cradle the bottles and prevent movement of the bottles while in transit or while travelling on a boat or RV. The u-shaped channels may contain a rubber pad on the inside surface to prevent sliding, rolling, or other lateral movement of the bottles. The portable beverage rack also contains a securement mechanism, such as a strap, buckle or band which extends over the top of the bottles to prevent vertical movement of the bottles. Additionally, the rack includes means to attach the rack to a wall or other vertical surface using a separate wall mounted base plate.

Abstract: A bottle carrier including a body defining at least two openings each for receiving the neck of a bottle to be carried, and a side wall which extends around part of the periphery of each opening. A lip associated with each of the openings is formed on the side wall. A bottle locking arm associated with each opening extends from the body to a free end so that the free end is movable radially of the opening towards and away from the lip to permit insertion of the bottle neck into the opening. A locking arrangement is connected to the body between the openings and is movable to a locking position to engage the bottle locking arms and prevent movement of same away from the lip to permit withdrawal of the neck of the bottle from the opening, thereby locking the bottle carrier to the bottle or bottles.

Abstract: A multi-pack packaging sleeve comprises first and second pack receiving pockets each constructed and arranged to receive at least one product pack. A sliding connection between the first and second pack receiving pockets includes a lock slot on the first pack receiving pocket and a slide lock flap on the second pack receiving pocket slidably received within the lock slot on the first pack receiving pocket. The sliding connection enables the first and second pack receiving pockets to move relative to one another between abutting positions and a position where the pack receiving pockets are slightly spaced apart from one another to thereby define a notch between the pockets for cooperative engagement with the rails of a product display and dispensing rack.

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 and access tabs formed therein, and each aperture has an access tab associated therewith. 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 therein, and each aperture of the securing panels is associated with an individual flap. When the blank is folded and formed into a carrier, the apertures and access tabs 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.

Abstract: A bundling-up device for container sets comprises a membrane made of plastic material and defined by a tubular band adapted to wrap and tighten a predetermined number of containers disposed in side by side relation, at side portions thereof, as well as a carrying handle for handling the unitary container set.

Abstract: A tuckable carrier includes a one-piece paper or plastic board having a plurality of container holes formed in a central base plate portion, a pair of side-wing plate portions respectively protruding sidewardly from the central base plate portion having a plurality of retaining lugs respectively formed in a plurality of slots cut in each side-wing plate portion, and a pair of handle portions respectively formed on two outer end portions of the two side-wing plate portions adapted to be held by a user's hand, in which a plurality of portable containers such as paper boxes filled with beverage liquid or foods generally formed as truncated cone shape or prismatic shape tapered downwardly can be engageably inserted into the plurality of container holes to be stably retained by the retaining lugs when each slot is engaged with an upper side peripheral portion of each container and the two handle portions formed on the one-piece board can be tucked to be held by the user's hand for carrying the portable containers
