Patent number: 5499712Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1994Date of Patent: March 19, 1996Assignee: Riverwood International CorporationInventor: Glen R.
