Abstract: A unitary plastic bottle carrier assembly designed to support a plurality of bottles by their neck portions. The carrier includes split collars through which the closure and bottle neck extends and the collars support the bottles through contact with the neck ring located below the closures. The spaced split-collar assemblies are connected to a central support member and are braced relative to each other by a channel-shaped member to form a handle receiver. A handle assembly is disposed in said handle-receiving means to provide for convenient transport of the carrier and associated bottles.

Abstract: An improved, knock-down, multiple-level, article storage and display rack may be assembled using article storage and shipping containers and dowel rod spacers. The containers, which preferably are molded plastic trays, each have a rectangular base and three retaining walls, one of which is a front wall. A display panel is angled forward from the container's front wall so that the bottom of the display panel and the bottom of the front wall cooperate to provide front, horizontal, support. A simple stand constructed to provide a pair of upright columns that fit into bottom-opening recesses in the two side walls, cooperate to provide a rear suppport for the display. Column-like dowels that fit into upper and lower recesses in the retaining walls of respective lower and upper trays are used to assemble the vertically disposed display rack.

Abstract: A unitary, molded, vending and article display tray, for flat articles such as magazines provides a substantially horizontal tray means for receiving, supporting, and holding, in a somewhat confined manner, but providing easy customer manual access to, a plurality of such articles. The head end of the display tray is provided with an upright retaining wall for the tray that has integrally formed therewith a pair of laterally spaced clip segments that operate to hold an exemplar of the tray-held articles at an upright display attitude.

Abstract: An improved molded tray for a display stand is shaped to provide a rectangular planar product-support member, whose support area is free of structural invasion by other parts of the tray. The planar product-support member is reinforced by an integral, transverse, peripheral reinforcing flange that extends vertically along the periphery of the support member. Integral, tubular corner post-receiving means are provided adjacent each corner of the support member and tangent to the peripheral flange. Reinforcing strips extend parallel to and outwardly of the reinforcing flange at two opposed sides of the tray, and are integral with the tubular post-receiving means. A horizontal top wall joins the upper edges of the peripheral flange and each parallel reinforcing strip. The underside of the planar support member is reinforced by a grid of orthogonal ribs, and the support member is apertured, between the reinforcing ribs to reduce the amount of plastic used in forming the tray.
