ABSTRACT:
A tray for storing and transporting a plurality of cylindrically-shaped articles, such as beverage containers, in a stable, upright position is provided. The tray is comprised of a bottom member and four walls extending upwardly therefrom and interconnected to form an enclosure for receiving the articles. A plurality of rib members are disposed on respective inner surfaces of the walls of the tray. Selected ones are arranged in cooperating pairs to define respective recessed regions therebetween. Each of the cooperating pairs of rib members contacts a corresponding one of the articles at respective positions on the curved surfaces thereof so that a predetermined portion of each article is received within the corresponding recessed region and at least a portion of the curved surface of the article is in contact with the corresponding wall within the recessed region, thereby retaining the articles in a substantially upright position within the tray. The respective outer surfaces of the walls and the bottom member are substantially smooth to enhance the structural integrity of the tray.
