ABSTRACT:
A bottle carrier is provided for carrying containers and bottles having an annular neck ring formed in their neck regions. In particular, the bottle carrier includes a number of triangular support structures that are integrally formed with a handle. Each of the support structures has three connected legs which generally give the support structure a triangular shape and which also define a central insertion opening. Disposed at approximately the mid-section of each leg is a ramped support shoulder with an upper ledge. As the bottle is inserted through the insertion opening, the ramp of the support ledge engages the neck ring of the bottle. The engagement causes the shoulder and leg to be deflected outwardly. Once the neck ring has passed fully through the interior most dimension of the insertion opening, the legs and shoulders snap over the neck ring and back into their non-deflected positions. The bottle is then supported in a resting engagement the upper surface of the ledge.
