Abstract (en)

[origin: US5772064A] A plurality of substantially identical bottles each have a generally cylindrical body centered on a bottle axis and having a lower end and a ring on the lower end and of greater diameter than the respective body to project radially therepast. A plastic case has a plurality of side walls each formed by at least one lower web with a relatively large window opening and inner walls spaced inward from the side walls and defining therewith a plurality of seats each centered on a respective normally upright seat axis. A respective relatively short outer retaining formation projects radially of the respective seat axis below the respective window from the respective lower web into each seat and has an inner edge spaced from the respective seat axis by a distance equal generally to half the outside diameter of the bottle ring. A respective inner retaining formation projects radially of the respective seat axis to each seat and has an inner edge spaced from the respective seat axis by a distance equal generally to half the outside diameter of the bottle body. Each inner formation is wholly above the respective outer formation.
