ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is adapted to attach a plastic carrier sheet about the upper edge of a plurality of containers to secure them together as one unit for easier carrying. The apparatus includes a base portion which properly positions the containers below a lower plate that is slidably mounted to vertical supports. A plurality of engagement means, secured to the lower plate, have a plurality of fingers which are adapted to grasp a discrete generally conical member. A release mechanism secured to the lower plate releases the conical members from the engagement fingers onto the upper surface of the containers to allow the carrier sheet to be fitted onto the conical members. The carrier sheet is then fitted onto the containers by lowering the lower plate causing the fingers to force the carrier sheet over the conical member and onto the upper portion of the container. The lower plate is raised and lowered by a lifting mechanism mounted to the lower plate.
