ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a carrier for empty beverage cans, particularly those that are returnable and recyclable. The carrier includes an elongated planar body with a plurality of spaced apart hooks where each hook has an elongated generally trapezoidal central section having converging side edges; a pair of elongated generally rectangular flap members; each attached to a respective side edge of the central section along a fold line; and a slit extending along each of the fold lines over a short distance from the inner end edge of the adjacent flap members. Each hook enters the opening of an empty can to engage the underside of the top plate of the can to suspend the can therefrom. By using the carrier, people returning cans have a convenient way of carrying the cans and the people receiving the cans are able to easily count the cans.
