ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for applying a carrier member onto the lip of a container is provided. The apparatus includes a stationary base unit and first stretcher elements fixed to the base unit for engaging one of the pair of openings of the carrier member by its inner peripheral edge. The apparatus also includes second stretcher elements that are movable with respect to the base unit from an inner position to an outer position for engaging the other of the pair of openings of the carrier member by its inner peripheral edge. The apparatus further includes a single enlongated handle and a pair of interacting lever arms that cooperate to move the second stretcher elements from the inner position to the outer position to stretch the pair of openings a distance sufficient to allow each of the pair of openings to receive the lip of the container. The apparatus further includes a lifting plate for elevating the assembled carrier member and containers in a direction generally perpendicular to the plane of the base unit.
