ABSTRACT:
The interior of the case is divided by compartmenting walls into a plurality of bottle-receiving compartments and also a central compartment which is not suited for receiving bottles and is elongated. The compartments are hexagonal. At each end of the central compartment there is a Y-intersection of three compartmenting walls. The compartmenting walls are extended upwards at these two intersections at each end of the central compartment and tapered together as they rise. Across the top of the central compartment and attached to the shanks formed by the extensions of the compartmenting wall intersections is a central handle for carrying the case. The handle shanks thus do not require space in the case in addition to the space already taken up by the compartmenting walls, and at the same time provide guide surfaces for the bottles being inserted into the compartments surrounding the end regions of the central compartment. This greatly facilitates machine loading of the case with bottles. The case also is provided with several other features which facilitate handling. A spacing of the receiving compartments away from the side wall and an inner contouring of the side wall handles permits firmer holding by mechanical tongs and to reinforces against sideways pressure. Bottom support ribs are arranged for optimum load support. Special corner depressions at the top corners accomodate the bottom support rib arrangement of a similar case when stacked on top.
