ABSTRACT:
A multipackage of a group of bottles and a bag-like or bundling device. The group of bottles are arranged in two adjacent rows and in transverse ranks perpendicular to the rows. The bag-like device is formed from a thin flexible material and essentially comprises three elements, a band portion that securely encircles the sidewall peripheral surface of the group of bottles, a bottom wall that is integrally connected between the lower edges of at least two sidewalls of the device, and an upper portion that comprises a gathered and secured arrangement of at least a pair of flaps integrally connected to the upper ends of two opposed sidewalls of the device. The gathered and secured flaps are arranged to form tensioned truss elements that extend diagonally from opposite corners of the group of bottles. The securement of the tensioned truss elements is substantially at the height of the bottle caps of the group of bottles and substantially midway between the bottles of the center rank of bottles. Importantly, the formed truss elements are sufficiently tensioned to substantially prevent skewing of the group of bottles out of the transverse ranks perpendicular to the rows. Further importantly, the tensioned truss elements in the area of their securement is of a reduced cross section and circumferentially open to form a handle element capable of being encircled by a person's finger for convenient transport of the package. In such a carrying arrangement, the load of the bottles in the bag-like device is effectively directed from substantially the entire circumferential band portion through the tensioned truss elements to the handle element.
