ABSTRACT:
A self-locking bottle carrier is adapted to hold a number of bottles of the type having an annular neck flange protruding outwardly therefrom so as to allow the bottles to collectively be carried. The bottle carrier is most preferably a one-piece carrier body having a number of bottle-receiving apertures. These bottle receiving apertures are defined by a pair of opposed, generally horizontal support surfaces, and an opposed pair of resilient locking fingers. The locking fingers extend upwardly from respective ends of the horizontal support surfaces and converge towards one another so that an upper dimension of the aperture between the opposed locking fingers is less than a lower dimension of the aperture fingers near the support surfaces. The bottleneck flange is supported by the horizontal support surfaces such that the weight of the bottle and its contents cause these support surfaces to bow slightly downwardly which, in turn, urges the opposed locking fingers inwardly towards one another. As a result, the bottle received within each of the apertures is removably coupled to the carrier.
