Bottle carrier with handle and pull tab
View Patent ↗A carrier for a plurality of beverage containers has a carrier body, means for hand carrying the carrier, and pull tabs. The carrier body has an outer periphery and defines a plurality of container openings with one container opening for each beverage container of the plurality of beverage containers. There is a plurality of pull tabs with one pull tab for each container opening of the plurality of container openings. Each pull tab extends from the outer periphery to an associated container opening and is connected to the associated opening by perforations extending from the associated opening to the outer periphery so that pulling the pull tab separates the body at the associated opening creating a path for container removal.
1. A carrier for a plurality of beverage containers, comprising:
an elongated carrier body having an outer periphery, first and second end portions, and a single flexible central body panel connected to said first and second end portions and extending therebetween, said flexible central body panel being adapted to fold into a loop thereby forming a handhold, said carrier body defining at least one container opening in said first end portion near said outer periphery, said carrier body defining at least one container opening in said second end portion near said outer periphery; and
a plurality of pull tabs with one pull tab for each container opening of said plurality of container openings, each said pull tab extending from said outer periphery to an associated container opening and being connected to said associated opening by perforations extending from said associated opening to said outer periphery so that pulling said pull tab separates said body at said associated opening creating a path for container removal.
2. A carrier for a plurality of beverage containers, comprising:
a piece of flexible material having a bifurcated first end portion, a bifurcated second end portion, a middle portion connecting said first and second end portions, and an outer periphery;
said bifurcated first end portion defining first and second straps, said first strap having a first container opening and said second strap having a second container opening;
said bifurcated second end portion defining third and fourth straps, said third strap having a third container opening and said fourth strap having a fourth container opening; and
said bifurcated second end portion being adapted to fit through said bifurcated first end portion and form a handhold loop in said middle portion.
3. A carrier, as set forth in claim 2 , including a pull tab for each of said straps and associated container openings, each said pull tab extending from said outer periphery to an associated strap and opening and being connected thereto by perforations extending from said associated opening to said outer periphery so that pulling said pull tab separates said strap at said associated opening creating a path for container removal.
