ABSTRACT:
A bottle carrier having a central or upper panel of paperboard and at least one lower panel or layer. Each panel has a plurality of bottle neck receiving openings. The periphery of each opening of each panel is defined by the tips of a plurality of radially extending fingers, the tips of the fingers of the upper panel engaging beneath a portion of an abutment associated with each bottle neck. Each finger is bent upwardly at about 45 degrees after insertion of a bottle into a respective opening. Each upper panel radial finger is provided at its widest portion with a base slit extending through the paperboard. Another and intermediate slit is located about half way along the length of each upper panel finger, the intermediate slit also extending through the paperboard. The base slit permits bending of each finger upwardly upon bottle insertion, while the intermediate slit facilitates removal of each bottle from its respective opening. The lower panel is provided with reinforcing fingers which are in surface and reinforcing contact with the radially outermost portions only of the upper radial fingers, namely, from the base of each upper finger to its respective intermediate slit. These lower reinforcing fingers permit significant reduction in thickness of the paperboard stock which forms the carrier.
