Abstract: Containerized goods are packaged for transit using a partial or fully circumferential wrapper about which a tensioned-strap is secured, to form an integrated structural package that facilities rapid loading of a machine magazine or picking platform such as a shelf with pre-oriented articles as well as shipping the units palletized in several tiers for distribution and display. The wrapper may be of sheet wood-fiber origin or other materials, the open wrapper ends permitting clear display of the goods labels. D-cuts into the wrapper provide displaceable tabs, for locating and/or separating the adjoining containers, and further integrating the wrapper with its contents, when strapped to form transit packages, able to withstand the rigors of palletized transit.

Abstract: A tray includes a base including a plurality of base walls each having a peripheral wall defining a container-receiving pocket therein. Adjacent pairs of the peripheral walls of the base walls are spaced apart to define low-profile lateral and longitudinal dividers. The base includes a generally horizontal upper divider wall connecting the peripheral walls. A plurality of side columns have outer walls extending up from upper portions of side walls and have inner walls extending down to the base. The side columns are arranged between spaced apart lower portions of the side walls. A pair of opposed end walls each include an upper bar and a lower bar extending between a pair of corner columns. A handle opening is defined between the upper bar and the lower bar. Each lower bar is connected to the base by an end inner wall.

The handle being separate from the central wall and moveable relative thereto between a raised position and a lowered position. The handle can be retained in either the raised or lowered positions by hook formations and is connected to the carrier device by interconnecting webs extending from the side walls.

Abstract: An article carrier and a blank for forming an article carrier for carrying one or more articles comprising a plurality of panels for forming the opposed sides and ends of the article carrier including a pair of laterally spaced top wall panels hingedly connected to the opposed side walls. A carrying handle is hinged to the top wall panels. The handle is movable between a retracted position when the handle does not extend above the top of the articles and a deployed position whereby the handle protrudes above the article tops.

Abstract: An article carrier for carrying one or more necked articles, has a plurality of panels including a pair of laterally spaced top panels, a pair of handle panels extending upwardly from the top panels to form a carrying handle, and a bridging panel provided to span the space between the top panels. One of the handle panels is formed with a medial fold line to cause the handle to be moved from an upright position downwards and/or to one side to reduce the height of the carrier.

Abstract: There is provided a carton 11 for containing two rows of bottles 12. The carton has a base, a pair of oppositely disposed side walls and a top panel section. The top panel section has side areas 22, 32 which lie over the tops of the bottles 12 and a central area 26, 35 between the bottles which is at least partially depressed relative to the side areas 22, 32. A handle portion can extend between the side panels and is constituted by opposite side areas 22 being linked together by central area 26 and handle web panels 24. The handle portion can be lifted from the depressed position into a raised carrying position.

Abstract: A wrap-around neck through the top carrier with a handle that can retracted into the interior of the carrier for stacking one carrier on top of another and which can be easily extended for carrying. The retractabilty and extension of the handle is facilitated by having a flexing panel attached to the handle panel by a fold line which in turn is attached to the top panel by fold line with a fold line between the handle panel and the flexing panel being approximately midway between the apertures in the top panel and the hand aperture in the handle panel. There also a fold line adjacent the apertures for the bottles.

Abstract: A plastic bottle carrier includes a support member formed with bottle neck retainers for suspending engagement with necks of plastic bottles and a slot extending through the support member along an imaginary centerline. A handle extends upwardly through the slot, and has a lower portion projecting beyond the slot beneath the support member to support the support member on the lower portion of the handle. The handle also has an upper portion projecting above the support member from the lower portion, and an opening formed in the upper portion, with a handgrip extending above the opening and defining an upper limit of the opening. The upper portion is dimensioned so as to be slidable through the slot for insertion of the upper portion through the slot and removal of the upper portion from the slot.

Abstract: A basket-style carrier constructed so as to maintain the carrier open during loading. The end panels of the carrier are formed from overlapping end panel sections. Each end panel section is connected to a handle panel support by a fold line. The overlapping end panel section includes a wide portion that extends transversely beyond the fold line connecting it to the handle panel support. This causes the two sections to function as a unit, preventing the end panels from collapsing about their fold lines during loading. In addition, a bottom panel forming flap is connected to one of the end panel sections at each end of the carrier. This flap is adhered to the bottom panel flaps to tighten the construction.

Abstract: A bottle tote for temporary storage and transport of empty beverage containers includes a planar base with four upright members extending fixedly therefrom to free ends lying in a common plane. The upright members support a plurality of track structures, each adapted to receive an open-topped tray having dividers for holding the containers. A foldable and adjustable handle structure is attached to the uppermost track, and a plurality of rod-like members are selectively engageable with the free ends of the upright members to permit vertical stacking of two totes of the same design.

Abstract: A four-pack bottle carrier requiring minimal gluing and materials, which can be readily glued up with existing machinery, which will lie flat after gluing and prior to erection, and which can be folded flat again after use. The carrier which is formed from a single piece of paperboard includes four side panels (12, 14, 16, 18) of substantially equal width, a side glue flap (26), and two pairs of opposed bottom panels (66, 68 and 80, 82). The upper portion of the side panels are provided with suitable die cuts (34, 36, 38, 40, 42) and cutouts (56, 62, 64) which facilitate the forming of the bottle dividers (94, 96) and a combined handle and bottle dividers when the bottle carrier is glued up and erected.

Abstract: A handle member has a handle. A grapple device is affixed to the handle for grappling an inside surface of a container. The grapple device comprises elastic wire having hook ends. The handle has a leg to which the elastic wire is affixed. When the leg is pushed through cardboard of a box the wire is flattened to the leg, and after the leg has penetrated the cardboard, the wire extends from the leg due to its elasticity. When the handle is pulled, the hooks catch the inside surface of the cardboard.
