Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0696543A1] A thermoformed topping-off tray (4) of a bottle-stack (Figure 1) has rows of recesses (8) in its under-surface (6) for receiving respectively the tops of the bottles (1) of the uppermost array of the stack. The tray (4) is strengthened by parallel ribs (10) that are upstanding from its upper-surface (5) throughout the row-lengths. Each rib (10) is configured by a deep channel (11) that is moulded into the under-surface (6) of the tray (4) to cut centrally through the recesses (8) of its row. The channels (11) are deeper than the recesses (8) so as to give the ribs (10) unbroken continuity through the recess locations (12). The flanks (9) of the recesses (8) flare down into the recesses (8) to assist with nesting the tray (4) down onto the bottles (1). <MATH>
