Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a top-gripping bottle carrier (2). The carrier comprises a top panel (21) of cardboard sheet material having at least two bottle receiving apertures (211). Each aperture is provided with a series of locking tabs (212) hingedly connected to the top panel by means of a respective fold line (213), and disposed around the bottle receiving aperture. Each locking tab is arranged for pivoting about the respective fold line from an initial position, in which said respective locking tab lies substantially in line with the top panel, towards a folded up position, in which said locking tab is under an angle with the top panel. Each locking tab extends from its respective fold line towards a retaining edge (214) for engaging an underside of a radially protruding portion (67) of a bottle (6) to be received in the aperture. The carrier further comprises a skirt (22) extending down from the top panel. The skirt comprises at least three main skirt panels (221, 222, 223, 224) connected to the top panel by means of a respective second fold line (202). The main skirt panels are interconnected with each other, directly or indirectly, such as to enable enclosing at least respective parts (64) of the bottles to be held by the bottle carrier during use.
