Abstract: The present invention relates to a basket carrier that provides full protection for the bottles being carried, and which can be glued on a straight-line gluer. The provision of nicks (i.e., temporary bridges) between the handle panels and the side walls serves to keep the handle panels in proper alignment during the folding and gluing operation on the gluer. These nicks are easily broken when the carrier is opened to receive bottles in the bottling plant. The present invention also utilizes nicks between the partition panel and the handle ply to hold them in contact but yet prevent bunching of paperboard during the folding and gluing process.

Abstract: A container carrier with a box-shaped carrier container of a first foldable flat material, with a floor wall, lateral walls and end walls; with a middle wall parallel to the lateral walls, of a further foldable flat material with transverse flaps which can be folded out, for forming compartments for the containers. The first foldable flat material is a reinforced cardboard and the second foldable flat material is a recycling cardboard.

Abstract: The beverage basket carrier of the invention is constructed of two separate blanks, a primary blank including the printed surfaces of the carrier and a secondary blank including the internal divider walls forming the bottle receiving cells. The blanks are designed so as to be tipped together in a straight line gluer for substantially increased production rates. The secondary blank may be formed of a different and more economical substrate than that required for the primary blank. The reduced size primary blanks enable an increased number to be arranged across a sheet or printing cylinder to increase the yield of the printing process. The resulting assembled carrier is similar to conventional carriers and suited for use by bottle fillers without altering their equipment.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a container system (10) which is adapted to be removably coupled to the body (20) of a user (22). The container system (10) includes a container housing (24) and a cover member (48) having a cut-out portion (60) which is adapted to be contiguously mounted around the neck of the user. The container system (10) includes a releasable coupling mechanism (64) having a strap member (66) which is passed around the neck (62) of the user (22) and is of adjustable length to accomodate differing sized users (22). In this manner, there is provided a container system (10) which is disposable by the user (22) after use and is releasably secured in an adjustable manner around the neck (62) of the user (22) to perform a bib-like function and serve as a temporary table or tray for the objects being used.

Abstract: A basket carrier fabricated from two separate blanks, one of the blanks forming the carrier's body which includes opposed side walls, opposed end walls, and a floor, and the other of the blanks forming the carrier's center wall and cell divider panels. In preferred form, the center wall blank includes end wall connector flaps by which the center wall is fixed to the carrier's end walls, and floor connector tabs by which the center wall is fixed to the body's floor.

Abstract: A two-piece beverage carrier is disclosed comprising a one-piece folded longitudinal partition insert which is adhesively secured to the end panels and to the bottom panel of a separate paperboard shell. The shell may be constructed as a wrap-around carrier or it may be constructed in the form of a basket style. The insert for either type of shell has formed thereon a plurality of transverse butterfly partition panels which also have formed thereon glue tabs for adhesively securing the butterfly partitions to the side panels of the paperboard shell. The insert utilizes a low caliber, single thickness of paperboard in formation of the production blank and by the structure and outline of the butterfly partition panels, heavier thickness is obtained between cells of the erected carrier.

Abstract: This relates to a multicell carrier which is advantageously formed from two separate generally rectangular blanks as opposed to a single generally L-shaped blank. By forming the carrier from two separate blanks, each of which is generally rectangular, a maximum board usage may be obtained and at the same time board is available, without waste, for forming handle reinforcing flaps. In addition, by providing two separate blanks and effecting the simultaneous folding of the two blanks, although the two blanks must be joined in the forming of a carrier, greater glue and folding speed is obtainable as compared to the forming of a like carrier from a single L-shaped blank.
