ABSTRACT:
A one-piece carrier for supporting a plurality of bottles by their necks in closely spaced, side-by-side relationship has a framework which carries an array of uniformly spaced, neck-receiving formations configured to receive and releasably retain bottle necks to support a plurality of bottles in side-by-side relationship. The neck-receiving formations take the form of an endless band, each having at least one W-shaped portion configured to expand and contract in accordian-like manner to permit other band parts to move relatively toward and away from each other to accommodate insertion of a capped bottle neck through the endless band, and to grip bottle neck portions inserted therethrough. Each of the W-shaped portions is arranged such that its two inner legs engage an inserted bottle neck to assist other parts of the band in gripping the inserted bottle neck. Tapered surfaces carried on lower parts of each of the bands serve to facilitate insertion of bottle necks into the bands.
