ABSTRACT:
A foldable carrier for transporting a plurality of food or beverage containers, including (a) a handle portion having at least one slot formed therein; (b) a first panel having at least a first elliptical opening therein; (c) a second panel having at least a second elliptical opening therein; (d) a flexible connection between the handle portion and the first and second panels which permits the handle portion to be moved between a position where the handle portion is perpendicular to the first and second panels and a position where the handle portion is substantially parallel with one of the first and second panels; (e) a third panel with third and fourth elliptical openings and resulting in perpendicular alignment between the first and third, and second and fourth elliptical openings, which connects both the first and second cup supporting panels and limits movement of the first panel towards the second panel when food or drink containers are placed in and carried by the first and second openings; and (f) a locking means adapted to engage the handle portion slot in interlocking fashion to allow the locking means, and thus the handle portion, to be supported by at least one container when the container is loaded into the carrier. The carrier may also include a coverable auxiliary food tray which has a bottom portion and side portions, that when used, contacts and is also supported by the top surface of the locking means.
