Abstract: A carrier for carton-type, downwardly tapered beverage containers and the like having a body made of flat, thin, durable and bendable material such as polyethylene plastic and having a central carton engaging portion made of interconnected straps, with a gusset at each strap connection and a pair of handles formed from straps at oppositely positioned relative to said central portion and with the support straps of each handle coupled during use by a tap foldably connected to one said support straps.

Abstract: A carrier for beverage bottles comprising a sheet of flat, strong plastic material having four equally spaced corner areas, and a bottle hole through each corner area and a portion of said sheet curved around each bottle hole and having a pull tab projecting therefrom; and a pair of oppositely positioned short-radius, inwardly curved edges and a pair of oppositely positioned longer-radius, inwardly curved edges forming connecting edges between corner areas.

Abstract: This invention relates to a container carrier formed from a flat sheet of durable, flexible material. In a preferred embodiment, the container carrier includes four sets of concentric drinking cup carrying holes, each set of holes comprising a smaller hole dimensioned to fit around the circumference of the lower portion of a conventional drinking cup, and the larger hole dimensioned to fit around the circumference of the upper portion of said cup. The sets of holes are positioned symmetrically about transverse and longitudinal axes of the device. Outboard of the two sets of holes that are symmetric about the longitudinal axis are formed two handle members that join together to form a handle for carrying the device and drinking cups carried by the device.

Abstract: A container made of flexible material having a depending container engaging sidewall and a raised top surface. The depending container engaging sidewall is formed with an inner flange having notches spaced around it length and a resilient outer flange with intermittent elongate bead means aligned with the notches of the inner flange and grooves in a shoulder interconnecting the flanges to engage a rolled top of a container. The intermittent bead means hold the lid firmly to the container and the notches and grooves permit steam accumulating in the container to be vented past ends of the bead means and to atmosphere as directed by the outer flange.
