  • Patent number: 5590762
    Abstract: A basket-style carrier with means for maintaining the carrier open during loading. The carrier includes tabs foldably connected to the end panel sections at one end of the carrier. When the tabs are folded in at substantially right angles to the end panel sections, they engage a vertical support member to prevent the carrier from closing. When the articles being loaded reach the tabs, they fold the tabs up against the inside face of the end panel sections. The articles themselves maintain the carriers open at that point and the tabs are no longer needed for that purpose.

  • Patent number: 5540325
    Abstract: A basket-style carrier with means for maintaining the carrier open during loading. The carrier includes a retainer tab foldably connected to at least one end panel of the carrier. When the tab is folded inwardly transversely of the end panel, it maintains the carrier in open condition until the articles being loaded reach the tabs. At that point the articles themselves are able to maintain the carriers open. Continued insertion of the articles during loading causes the articles to fold the tabs up against the inside face of the end panel sections.
