Y., A CORPORATIONy OE DELA- WARE BOTTLE AND J UG HOLDER Application mea March 23, 1.931. seriai'No. 524,749.

This invention relates to improvements in bottle holders and has more particular relation to bottle holders for display or advertising purposes. One of the several objects of the invention is to provide a bottle holder which will lsupport a number of bottles or jugs in upright position against any accidental displacement or tipping them over.

Another object of the invention is to support a number of bottles on a counter or show case in upright position land to brace them against any accidental tipping orV removal. j

A further object of the' invention is to make the extended base of a number ot bottles or jugs effectiveto prevent tipping by linking all of the bottles together.

The invention also has other objects, all of which will be hereinafter more particularly set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, v

Fig. l represents a perspective View of the device as embodying my invention applied to a number of bottles to link them together. Fig. 2 represents a top plan view of the blank for the holder after it is formed, and Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of the blank or holder embodying my invention.

Heretotore in order to display bottles or jugs having narrow bases, it has been the practice to set them on these narrow bases upon the counters orv show cases, at the risk ot having these bottles or jugs accidentally knocked over or removed.

With the present device, however, any number of bottles or containers having narrow bases are grouped and linked by the present holder into a single unit, so that all of the elements of the bottles become a supporting base and provide a group setting that is very difiicult to tip over, and in which the different bottles or receptacles are retained against removal.

The holder as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 comprises a blank, l, of cardboard or other light material stamped-into an approximate rectangle with rounded corners and having an internal opening 2 formed by stamping, by

'tion asshown-in Fig. l. This tag or tab is almost impossible to accidentally tip `over when .exposedon a show case or counter, and

suitable dies a bottle label 3, and an advertis- 'ing label, tab or marker 4. The label 3 is entirely stamped out and is also formed near one placed about'a group ot bottles?.

Vhen in position the tabl 4 is bent lup at right angles so as to assume a vertical posij j printed with any suitable advertising or .price mark, and, of course, extends vertically in front of the group of bottles.

The marking labelisslippedover the neck ot a fifth, bottle 4which is placed inthe well formed by the necks ot the remaining four bottles as shown in Fig. 1. Y

The handles 8 of the bottles or jugs are preferably adjusted to extend overV the holdj j er l after itis placed about the bottles and thisprevents the holder from being forced upward or lifted. f

, A groupingot bottles as above described and illustrated, forms a irm unit which it is at the samel time leaves the bottles fully exposed'for close inspection and presents them specially to the attention of the customer.

I prefer to form the holder for grouping four bottles or jugs, b-ut it will be understood that the holder mav be arranged for anydesired number so that the supporting base of a plurality'ot bottles or jugs is effective to pref vent tipping, and so that no one bottle or jug can be tipped Without all the other jugs or bottles ot the group being similarly affected.

Heretotore if the store-keeper wished to display bottles or jugs on the counter Where they might be handled bv the customer, Ait was necessary for him to place them loose so that each bottle or jug was only supported or balanced by its own vbase and might very easily be knocked over or picked up and removed.

only are the bottles supported on an extended and firm base, but they are so arranged that it is Very diflicult to pick them up or remove them, and at the same time they are exposed 5 for thorough inspection.

It, 'of course, will be understood, Athat the size of the 4central opening lin *the fhdlder `l,

' is such that When the desired number of bottles AareY grouped together side by sideonly 1 t'he necks `'andllmindles olf the bottles may .pro-

, trude upward through 'the 'holder and this holder Will rest firmly upon the. bulging. bodies of the bottles below the necks;

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is new and desire to secure byLetters 1.?at-entfi-s: y
