Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to paperboard carriers for articles such as beverage bottles. More particularly, it relates to a basket-style carrier in which the articles are arranged in four parallel rows.
  • the carrier includes ⁇ ide, end and bottom walls, and is typically used with articles grouped in two rows. Located between the two rows is a medial panel which connects the end walls and includes an opening to provide a handle by which the basket may be carried. In its usual form, this carrier also includes partition panels extending between the medial panel and the side walls, to define individual cells into which the articles may be placed.
  • Basket-style carriers are normally manufactured and shipped in a glued but collapsed condition.
  • the end walls are folded at the medial panel, so that they are collapsed onto themselves to bring the side walls together.
  • the medial panel is thus displaced longitudinally with respect to the side walls.
  • the basket is erected by moving the medial panel back into alignment with the side walls.
  • the end walls are brought into an unfolded position, and the set-up basket is available to be loaded with the articles to be carried.
  • Attempts have been made to develop basket-style carriers for larger multiples of articles arranged in more than two rows. For example, in a carrier for twelve beverage bottles, the articles may be arranged in four rows, two rows located on each side of the handle.
  • the present invention provides a carrier for a plurality of objects arranged in four rows, wherein two bottom walls are provided for the carrier.
  • a primary bottom wall is connected so as to extend beneath all four rows of the articles contained within the carrier, while a secondary bottom wall extends beneath only the two inner rows of the four article rows.
  • the carrier includes substantially parallel first and second side walls, and substantially parallel first and second end walls interconnecting the side walls.
  • a medial panel extends between and connects the first and second end walls, the medial panel being disposed between and substantially parallel to the first and second side walls.
  • a first primary partition structure extends between and is connected to the first and second end walls, the first primary partition structure being disposed between and substantially parallel to the first side wall and the medial panel.
  • a second primary partition structure extends between and is connected to the first and second end walls, the second primary partition structure being disposed between and substantially parallel to the second side wall and the medial panel.
  • a primary bottom wall is connected to and extends between the lower portions of the first and second side walls.
  • a second bottom wall connects and extends between the lower portions of the first and second primary partition structures.
  • the carrier may further include secondary partition structure extending between and connected to the first side wall and the first primary partition structure, the first primary partition structure and the medial panel, the medial panel and the second primary partition structure, and the second primary partition structure and the second side wall to define therewith a plurality of cells for receiving the objects.
  • the first and second bottom walls may be disposed in substantially face-to-face contact.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a carrier in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing the carrier in set-up condition and with beverage bottles loaded therein.
