ABSTRACT:
A device for transporting a plurality of similarly sized beverage cans includes a transparent, flexible pouch of fixed dimensions, and a rigid housing in which the pouch is slidably received. The front and rear walls of the pouch and housing are spaced apart a distance about equal to the length of the cans, so that when the cans are inserted with their ends adjacent the front and rear walls, they will remain in unidirectional alignment upon removal of the pouch from the housing. The pouch includes a flap for keeping the cans in the pouch, and adhesive tape for securing the flap to the front of the pouch. The tape passes through a facial opening in the housing in order to seal the pouch while it is in the housing. The pouch is preferably transparent so that the number of cans can be accurately counted, and so that it can be visually confirmed that all of the cans are of the type returnable for a refund of any deposit. In one preferred embodiment the housing and pouch walls serve as the sole means for maintaining alignment of the cans.
