  • the angular disposition of the bottom wall comprising bottom panels 6 and 7 relative to the side wall 4- is approximately 90 while the angular relationship between the side wall 4 and the fold line 27 is approximately 70. While these angular relationships are not critical, they are typical and are set forth herein as a matter of description so as to afford an accurate and full disclosure of the invention.
  • the angle between the bottom wall comprising bottom panels 6 and 7 and the side wall 5 is an acute angle as is obvious from FIG. 3.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 The modification of the invention as depicted in FIGS. 4 and 5 is similar in most essential respects to the arrangement shown in FlGS. 1, 2 and 3, the modification of FIGS. 4 and 5 being suitable for use in conjunction with two rows of packaged articles B.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 comprises a top wall 4-1 bounded along its side edges by told lines 42 and 43.
  • Side wall 44 is foldably joined to top wall 41 along fold line 42 while side wall 45 is foldably joined to top wall 41 along fold line 43.
  • bottom panel 46 is foldably joined to side wall 44 along fold line 47 while bottom panel 48 is foldably joined to the bottom edge of side wall 45 along fold line 49.
  • Appertures 50, 51 and 52 are formed in bottom panel 46 while apertures 53, 54 and 55 are formed in bottom panel 48.
  • a plurality of arcuare notches 5d, 57 and 53 are formed in bottom panel 46 and when the carton is assembled these notches coincide with an arc of the circles which define apertures 53, 54 and 55 respectively.
  • arcuate cutouts 59, 60 and 61 when the carrier is assembled, coincide with a portion of the circles which define the apertures 56, 51 and 52 as U will be obvious from FIG. 4.
  • each row of articles 13 is provided with a fold line designated 2 and 63 in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the wall sections 64- and 65 are relatively narrow and are defined by the fold lines 62, 42 on the one hand and by the fold lines 63, 43 on the other.
  • the main fold line of the carrier of FIGS. 4 and 5 is formed in the top wall and is designated by the numeral 66 and defines wall sections 67 and 68 together with their associated fold lines 62 and 63 respectively.
  • a pair of hand gripping apertures 69 and 70 are formed in the top wall 41 of the carrier. These of course may include associated finger flaps or may simply constitute finger gripping apertures either of which arrangements is well known.
  • the carrier of FIGS. 4 and 5 is provided with support tabs as is the carrier of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
  • Such tabs are designated. in connection with one aperture 71 and are identified by the numerals 72, 73, 74 and 75.
  • Support tabs 72 and 73 are foldably joined to wall sections 65 and 68 along fold lines 76 and 77 which diverge in the direction of the article disposed within aperture 71.
  • fold lines 78 and 79 foldably join the support tabs 74 and to the wall sections 65 and 68 respectively and diverge in the direction of the article disposed within the aperture 731.
  • the support tabs associated with the remaining five apertures disposed in top panel 41 are identical to those just described in conjunction with aperture 71 and a detailed description thereof is not deemed necessary.
  • upstanding tabs 44a, 44b and 44c are formed along the upper edge of side wall 44, the upper edges of these tabs do not contact the lower edge of the bottle cap B. These upstanding tabs simply lie against and gently engage the sides of the adjacent bottle necks but do not afford support. Should these tabs 44a, 44b and 440 engage the bottle caps, a diminution of the gripping action of the support tabs such as 72, '73, 74 and 75 would result. Stated otherwise, by allowing the side walls 44 and 45 to clear the bottle caps, the carrier is conditioned for flexing during its formation and thereby for establ shing a secure gripping action by the support tabs such as 72, 73, 7 and 75.
  • upstanding tabs 45a, 45b, 4-50 are arranged so as to clear the caps C of their associated bottles.
