Abstract (en)
Thermo-formed trays (3) carrying rows of bottles (1) are stacked one upon the other with the tops of the bottles (1) on each tray engaged in channels (15) of the tray (3) above. Each channel (15) is closed at both ends so as to hold its row of bottles (1) tightly against one another in line. The upper-surface (6) of the tray (3) is enclosed on three sides (7 to 9), or all four (7 to 10), by a peripheral wall (5) and is divided into guideways for the rows by ridges (11) to restrict lateral movement of the bottoms of the bottles (1) out of row-alignment. Lateral restraint may be provided without ridges by abutment of the rows of bottles (35 Figures 6 to 8) with one another, and the wall (34) may be configured to the contour of the bottles (35) in their rows. The channels (40 Figure 8) nested on the tops of the rows of bottles (35) below, may run slantwise of the tray (33). <IMAGE>
