" BOTTLE HOLDER I Application filed September 1, 1922. serial No.- 585-,831l.

To alljiuhom it may concern.-

* .Be-it known that I, CHARLES CORRON, 'a-citizen of the United States, .re-

siding at Los Angeles, in the county of Los- Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottle Holders, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to an implement for facilitating the carrying and holding of bottles, and more particularly such as common quart and pint milk bottles, and it has for its object to provide a bottle holder orv carrier of extreme simplicity, low cost of manufacture and substantial construction. Another object is to provide a bottle holder or carrier having a handle portion from which depends one or more bottle gripping yokes which are of such construction and design that while they may be readily slipped into position to grapple the necks of bottles, they will retain. the same firmly in suspended position while the holder is being carried in the hand.

' Other objects and advantages will be made manifest in the following specification of an embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective of a form of the device having a multiplicity of bottle receiving yokes.

Fig. 2 is a slde elevation showing the device as applied to the neck of a bottle which is shown "in dotted lines.

Fig. 3 is a plan of a form of the device having a single yoke, a bottle being shown yoke part 2 from the sides of which project tangential bar portions 3, these being arranged in parallelism and bent u wardly as at 4, Fig. 2, from the plane of t e yoke or semi-ring part. The ends of the bar-s4 are bent upwardly asat 5 and diverge as clearly shown in Fi 4 so that these bars 5 provide a sufiicient t roat or opening at the A. F. De

- in the rear of the. carrier to '-P. rrnit-the yoke end to be shifted down-in frontof the bead B of themilk bottle M, and: then by shifting the yoke 2 transversely .across the neck. of the bottle. it is'brought iii-under the bead B which, being of'greater-diameter thanthe diameter of the yoke semi-ring, will rest upon the same as the ring is brought upwardly into engagementtherewith. r

The divergent bars 5 are bent into lip-- wardly extending parallel shank portions 6, and in types of the'device made of wireas shown in Figs. 1, 2, .3 and 4,-the wire is rolled into eyes 7 and these serve to grip a transverse handle rtion or tube/8.

In Fig. 1 there 1s shown a handle tube 8 -,of sufficient length to receive a plurality,

preferably an odd number, of the bottle vokes 2 therefore enabling the application of the device to a. pluralityof bottles and A form of the carrier is shown in Figs 5 and 6 as being punched or stamped out of sheet metal thus forming a flat yoke part 2'. The end-s of the yoke may be bent upwardly to form shanks 6 which may have a rolled cross handle andconnecting part 8'.

The tubular handle of the device provides a receptacle for a simple instrument in the form of a pick having a sharpened penetrating prong 10 and having parallel bars 11 merging into an eye or finger rin 12 which i is of greater diameter than the diameter of the carrier handle 8. The pick bars 11 are shown in such spaced relation that they may be sprung or compressed inwardl and forced into the guarding tube or andle portion 8. By pulling the pick from the carrier handle, it may then .be utilized for removing the ordinary paper caps from milk bottles and may then be readily reinserted lprotecting handle. w i Fur er embodiments, modifications and changes may be. resorted to within the spirit of the invention as here claimed. i

What is claimed is: 1. A milk bottle holder and carrier consisting of an instrument having a substantially semicircular yoke portion proportioned to slidably fit the neck ot'a bottle and 'to abut against the usual top rim or head thereof, diametrically opposite ends of the yoke being extended in parallel bars adapted to slide alongthe neck of a bottle and which have outwardly and upwardly divergent portions to clear the bead of a bottle, said portions being extended into shanks, and a handle connecting the shanks.

2. A milk bottle holder and carrier consisting of an instrument having a substantially semicircular yoke portion proportioned to slidably fit the neck of a bottle and to abut against the usual top rim or bead thereof. diametrically opposite ends of the yoke being extended in parallel bars adapted to slide along the neck of a bottle and which have outwardly and upwardly divergent tially semicircular yoke portion proper-- tioned to slidably fit the neck of a bottle and to abut against the usual top rim or bead thereof, diametrically opposite ends of the yoke being extendedin parallel bars adapt-- ed to slide along the neck of a bottle and which have outwardly and upwardly divergent portions toclea-r the head or a bot tle, said portions being extended into shanks, and a handle connecting the shanks, the handle portion being tubular and forming a receptacle for a removable implement.

a. A. milk bottle carrier comprising, in

combination, a handle, a pair of shanks connected to the handle, inwardly convergent bar portions at the lower ends of said shanks, substantially parallel bars connected at outer ends by a semicircular yoke, said bars being deflected upwardly from the plane of the yoke to form supporting shoulders when a bottle rests in the yoke. MA milk bottle holder and carrier consisting of an instrument having a substantially semicircular yoke portion proportioned to slidably tit the neck of a bottle and to abut against the usual top rim or head thereof, diametrically opposite ends of the yoke being extended in parallel bars adapted to slide along the neck of a bottle and which have outwardly andupwardly divergent portions to clear the head of a bottle, and a handle.

lln testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
