Abstract: A carrier includes multiple rows of container receptacles on each side of a central handle. The bottom of the carrier is reinforced with web panels. The container receptacles can be separated by longitudinal and transverse separator panels. The top edge of the longitudinal separator panel can be curved to facilitate erection of the carrier.

Abstract: The carrier has a central vertical support panel structure, and a pair of foldable receptacles extending outwardly from opposite sides of the vertical support structure. The receptacles have automatically-opening bottom walls with symmetrical bottom panels which overlap to even-out the strength of the bottom walls and minimize areas of reduced strength. At least two opposed bottom panels are shaped to interlock with one another to hold the carrier open once it has been unfolded. Elongated, connected reinforcing flanges strengthen the carrier in the vertical direction. Double and triple-ply reinforcement panels are used to form a four or six-ply handle structure for improved strength.

Abstract: A carrier with internal support members for carrying multiple beverage containers. The carrier is formed from foldable material that can quickly and easily be erected and loaded with beverage containers. The internal support structure of the carrier comprises central support tabs extending from the top panels connected to bottom support tabs extending from the bottom panels. The internal support structure gives the carrier the tensile strength needed to support multiple beverage containers. Arcuate support members restrain the top portions of the beverage containers from lateral movement. The bottom support members straddle the beverage containers and restrain the bottom portions of the beverage containers from lateral movement. The elongated central support tabs extend slightly into the beverage container receptacles creating a flexure fit when loading beverage containers into the carrier. External support braces are positionable to hold the carrier open during loading.

The carrier is formed of a one-piece member formed of a non-plastic material formed into first and second halves adjoining each other at a first fold line. Each half is comprised of counting from the first fold line a handle segment forming the first fold line, a first side wall segment adjoining the handle segment at a second fold line and having first and second side margins, a bottom wall segment adjoining the first side wall segment along a third fold line, a second side wall segment adjoining the bottom wall segment along a fourth fold line and having first and second side edges, first and second end wall segments adjoining respectively the first and second side edges of the second side wall segment.

Abstract: A carton having a plurality of unequal compartments or cells is formed from a single, unitary, paperboard blank. The carton can be folded flat for shipping and storage. It can be erected by pulling outward on two opposite corners or side edges. Internal dividers move into place automatically as the box is erected and produce internal compartments of unequal sizes.

Abstract: A container formed from a cut and scored blank has end panels extending from sloping side panels and locked into position by cooperating slots formed in partition panels and the end panels.

Abstract: A carton with a plurality of cells and a handle and a blank for forming same have a collapsible arrangement for automatically forming a bottom, partitions and a handle. This arrangement includes bottom panels hingedly coupled to the bottom edges of the wall panels, divider panels separated into first and second sections hingedly coupled to two of the bottom panels at edges thereof remote from the wall panels, and a handle structure coupled to the divider panels at edges thereof remote from the bottom panels. This permits the carton to be shipped and stored in an essentially flat, collapsed configuration and then easily arranged to its assembled, expanded configuration by the application of inwardly directed forces against the side edges of the collapsed carton. These forces cause the bottom panels, divider panels and handle structure to move automatically with the movement of the side wall panels of the carton.

Abstract: An article carrier formed from a unitary blank and comprising a bottom wall, side wall means secured to the side edges of the bottom wall, a pair of end walls secured respectively to the ends of the bottom wall and secured to the ends of the side wall means, a top panel secured to the upper edges of the side wall means and the end walls, a supplementary bottom panel secured to an end edge of the bottom wall and disposed in overlying relationship therewith, handle means secured to the secondary bottom panel and upstanding therefrom and forming a medial partition, the top panel being removable with at least one V-shaped bend line formed therein, and the handle means being inter-connected with one of the end walls.

Abstract: An upwardly opening tray-like carrier carton is disclosed for packaging a plurality of articles having the general form of beverage bottles, which carrier is fabricated from a single blank of foldable sheet material and is cut and scored so as to divide it into integrally connected panels which are adapted to be folded together so as to form, when set-up, a partitioned carton structure comprising a double row of upwardly opening bottle receiving cells disposed on opposite sides of a central bottle separating partition and handle forming panel assembly and being characterized by an upstanding partition wall extending between the rows of cells on each side of the partition and handle forming assembly which is hinged at its opposite ends to pairs of foldable end wall panels so as to enable the cells on each side of said central partition and handle forming panel assembly to be collapsed, when empty, and to be folded into flattened relation against said partition and handle forming assembly.

Abstract: The specification discloses a collapsible article carrier formed from a folded sheet of material that is alternatively foldable into a substantially flat, collapsed position and an open position for receiving articles. The article carrier includes a bottom member having first and second bottom panels. First and second side walls are hingedly joined along bottom edges thereof to edges of the first and second bottom panels. First and second end panels are hingedly joined to edges of the first side wall, and third and fourth end panels are hingedly joined to edges of the second side wall. The first and third end panels are hingedly joined to form a first end wall. The second and fourth end panels are hingedly joined to form a second end wall.

Abstract: A carrier for two rows of one or more bottles, made of die-cut plastic sheet. Two bottom panels extend between upright center and outer-face panels. The center panel(s) connect directly to top handle elements and the outer face panels connect thereto through top panels formed of bottle-separator strips. Lift struts integral with bottom and center panels extend from the outer halves of the bottom panels, upward and inward, across the center planes of the bottles to the handle, so as to separate the bottoms of the bottles, and to form primary lift elements from the bottom of the bottles to the handle. Two other lift trains connect the handle to the bottom panels, an inner one through the center panels and an outer one through the top and outer face panels. Such elements confine and protect each bottle on all four sides.

Abstract: A disposable carrying case or tote-box is formed from a single cardboard blank to form a pair of longitudinally extending side-by-side compartments. The blank provides a continuous bottom wall, integral side walls extending upwardly from each side edge of the bottom wall integral top walls extending inwardly from the upper edge of each side wall, medial walls extending downwardly from the inner longitudinal edge of each top wall, and terminal flaps at the side edges of the blank which are adhesively secured to the bottom wall. Each of the top walls has portions thereof die cut and scored adjacent to the ends thereof and bent downwardly to form end walls for the two compartments.

Abstract: A package or container is provided having interior longitudinal and traverse partitions, or webs, arranged between bottles. The longitudinal web is centrally disposed and is formed by a centrally divided bottom wall being provided with edge flaps which are folded inwardly into the package in such a manner that a double-walled web, disposed approximately at right angles to said bottom wall, is formed. This central longitudinal web is provided with an appropriate number of transverse webs which are either formed separately from the central longitudinal web, or which are formed integrally with the latter by stamping out appropriate tongues and folding them from the web. Integral handles of one-piece construction with the container forming blank are also provided.
