ABSTRACT:
A container package includes a series of similarly configured containers maintained in adjacent relation by a series of interconnected rings formed from a resilient deformable material each surrounding one of the containers of the container package. The rings may have one or more weakened portions that rupture in response to stress applied by a link connecting the ring to the container as the container is removed. The link may be an adhesive that attaches the ring to the container at a point adjacent a weakened portion or alternatively may be a bracket straddling the ring. Alternatively, a bracket having an inner cutting edge may straddle the ring. The cutting edge severs the ring as the container is removed from the package. The rupture of the ring in each of these embodiments prevents wildlife from becoming entangled in unruptured rings of plastic carriers once the package is discarded.
