Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9724271A1] An article carrier of the top gripping type for accommodating articles such as bottles (B) is disclosed. The carrier includes a tubular central portion (K) and first and second panels (12, 20, 116, 124) extending outwardly from the tubular portion (K). The first and second panels (12, 20, 116, 124) have apertures (50, 52, 54, 152, 154, 156) each operatively engaging the underside of a radially protruding part of an article (B) present in that aperture by the abutment of tabs (56, 158) provided around the aperture. The tabs (56, 158) are foldable to stand out of the general plane of the aperture. The carrier also includes at least one locking panel (22) disposed in a face-to-face relationship with the first and second panels (12, 20, 116, 124) and having corresponding apertures (58, 60, 166, 168, 170) in registry with selected ones of those apertures of the first and second panels (12, 20, 116, 124). The tubular portion (K) is maintained only by the presence of at least one article (B) received in the respective registering apertures of the first, second and locking panel (12, 20, 22, 116, 124, 122).
