Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9833722A1] An article carrier having a beam structure (10) is disclosed. The beam structure (10) bridges between a pair of opposed side walls (12, 14) of the carrier to support the packaged articles. The beam structure (10) comprises a pair of bracket panels (16, 18) extending downwardly from the side walls (12, 14), respectively, a pair of strips (36, 40) each extending between the bracket panels (16, 18), and a pair of gusset panels (26, 28) hingeably interconnecting each bracket panel (16, 18) with the strips (36, 40). The strips (36, 40) are hingeably connected together along their common lower side edge to form a beam of a substantially V-shaped cross section. Each bracket panel (16, 18) is disposed in a face-to-face relationship with the gusset panels (26, 28) of the respective pair, and a lower end portion of each bracket panel (16, 18) is severed by a cut (48, 50, 52) from the adjacent portions of the beam structure (10).
