ABSTRACT:
A receptacle for beverage containers is disclosed. The receptacle has a rigid bottom portion consisting of a plurality of framework members. A plurality of spring fingers extend generally vertically up from the bottom portion to secure at least the bases of the beverage containers. With this construction, the beverage containers are retained in a vertical position. The receptacle has side walls extending generally vertically upward from the bottom portion to define a generally open top for the receptacle. The side walls includes slots for the attachment of a handle so that the receptacle can be lifted. Each receptacle is designed so that it can be mechanically interlocked with the top or bottom of an adjacent identical receptacle.
