A carrier for a plurality for bottles arranged in a row. The carrier is made from a resilient deformable plastic sheet material which folds and mechanically locks into a prism-like shape in which the end faces are triangles. Aligned apertures through the base and apex of the carrier provide an interlocking relationship of the carrier with the bottles such that the side walls of the carrier are bowed outwardly to project the marginal edges of the apertures in the apex of the carrier firmly against the underside of the cap portion enlargements of the bottles with the marginal edges of the apertures in the base of the carrier being firmly circumferentially urged downwardly against the enlarging neck portions of the bottles. The bottle gripping apertures in the apex of the carrier are defined by partially lapped larger apertures in lapped sections of the carrier. Simple tabs permit the carrier to be unlocked and the larger apertures in lapped sections of the carrier may then be axially aligned to permit the carrier to be easily lifted from the bottles. The carrier may be reused by mechanically interlocking the tabs in the tab receiving apertures and projecting the carrier downwardly over the bottles until the apex apertures snap below the enlarged cap portions of the bottles. |
