  • each of the necks N of the bottles B is received in the narrow opening portion 60 of the pairs of openings 55 through 57 and the crown caps C overlie and are each slightly spaced from the central portion 51 of the top panel 21 adjacent the openings 60.
  • each of the spacers 30 of the first latching members 27 is urged substantially normally-to the plane of the first closure of the inner closure panel 16 in a conventional manner and then positioned'between adjacent bottles B as is clearly illustrated in FIGURES 4 and 5 of the drawings. Movement of each of the spacers 30 from the plane of the inner closure panel 16 automatically forms the substantially trapezoidal tonguerecei-ving opening 41 (FIGURE 1) heretofore described.
  • the outer closure 'panel 25 is then similarly swung beneath the bottles B and in underlying relationship to the inner closure panel 16.
  • each of the second latching members 28 carried by the outer closure panel 25 are each received in an associated longitudinally aligned trapezoidal tongue-receiving opening 41 of the first latching members 27 in a manner clearly illustrated in FIGURES l, 4 and 5 of the drawings.
  • Each of the tongues 44 overlies the material of the inner closure panel 16 adjacent each of the short transverse cut lines 34 and the oppositely directed short slits or edges 45 of each tongue 44 interlocks with associated end portions or end edge portions 35 of the short transverse cut lines 34, as is clearly illustrated in FIGURES 1 and 5 of the drawings.
  • each of the tabs 47 of the second latching members 28 is projected out of the plane of the outer closurepanel 25 and then received through an associated tab-receiving opening 37 of each of the spacers 30 (see FIGURES 4 and 6) in abutment with an associated tab engaging edge 40 between the short spaced told lines 36, 36 and in overlying contact with the inner closure panel 16, as is best illustrated in FIG- U-RE 4 of the drawings.
  • FIGURES l and 4 through 6 of the drawings in which the fully assembled paperboard wrap-around carrier is best, illustrated.
  • the central portion 51 of the top panel 21 of the bottle carrier 10 overlies and is parallel to the inner and outer closure panels, 16 and 25 respectively.
  • the top panel 21 is also substantially normal to the side panels 18 and 23, and joined thereto by the respective side portions 50 and 52 along the respective transverse fold lines 20 and 22.
  • the side panels 18 and 23 are also substantially normal to the respective inner and outer closure panels 16 and 25 and connected thereto by the respective transverse fold lines 17 and 24.
  • the fingergripping tabs 62 are illustrated in their operative position projecting toward the interior of the wrap-around carrier 10 in substantially normal relation to the closure panels 16 and 25.
  • the carrier 10 is grasped by inserting'a thumb and finger in the openings (unnumbered) formed by the tabs 62, 62.
  • the crown caps or closures C of each of the bottles B are spaced slightly above the central portion 5 1 of the top panel 21 and in overlying relationship to the arcuate portions 61 of the central panel 51 adjacent each of the narrower open portions 60 of the plurality of pairs of neck-receiving openings 55-57.
  • FIGURES 4 and 5 of the drawings This relationship of the crown caps C is best illustrated in FIGURES 4 and 5 of the drawings, and is exaggerated in FIGURE 6 of the drawings by the increased, length of the necks N of the bottle B.
  • the portions 61 of the central portion 51 underlying each of the crown caps C are also lifted upwardly as viewed in these same figures. These portions 61 contact the lowermost peripheral edges (unnumbered) of the crown caps and directly support each of the bottles B when the bOttle carrier 10 is being carried. The weight of the bottles B. and the contents thereof are thus directly supported by the top panel 21.
  • the six bottles B in the bottle carrier 10 are also arranged in conventional rows of three bottles in each row, as is best illustrated in FIGURE 5 of the drawings.
  • a separator 30 of each of the first latching members 27 separates adjacent bottles in the two rows and precludes inadvertent or accidental breakage thereof.
  • the spacers 30 are each disposed along a longitudinal center line of the bottle carrier 10, and it is to be particularly noted that the latching means 26 is disposed substantially to one side of this longitudinal center line, as is best illustrated in FIGURE 4.
  • This disposition of the cooperative latching means 26 to one side of the centerline of the bottle carrier 10 affords two novel advantages.
  • First, and of utmost impontance, is the fact that all interference between the bottles B to the left of the spacers 30 as viewed in FIG- URE 4 and the tabs 47 of the second latching members 28 is eliminated. That is, as the tabs 47 are each inserted through an associated one of the openings 37 formed in the spacers'30, no contact between the tabs 47 and the bottles B to the left of the spacers 30 occurs as is clearly illustrated in FIGURE 4 of the drawings.
  • tabs such as the tabs 47
  • tabs 47 must not only be inserted through openings against the resistance offered by edges defining these openings but also against the forces applied by the weight of the bottles and contents thereof in the carrier.
  • a second advantage ofiered by this disposition of the cooperative latching means 26 to one side of the center line of the carrier is that a lesser amount of material is required to form the inner closure panel 16 than would be otherwise required if the openings 37 were not formed in the spacers 30, but were, for example, struck from the material between the first transverse line 33 and the first transverse edge 14.
  • the openings in the spacers 37 the material between the first transverse line 33 and the first transverse edge 14 is available for overlying contact by each of the tabs 47.
  • it openings, such as the openings 37 were struck from the material between the first-transverse edge 14 and the transversevline 33, the material available would be materially reduced as wouldv the longitudinal reinforcement afforded the carrier 10 by this material.
