Carrier stock having tear-open tabs and integral handles.

摘要

Carrier stock has band segments defining container-receiving apertures and integral handles, along with tear-open tabs arranged in four-tab clusters. Each cluster includes tabs proximate to each other and connected by single, frangible bridges, on opposite sides of both the transverse and longitudinal midlines of transverse and longitudinal band segments. Each tab extends from one of the band segments, outwardly from one of the apertures. Each tab and the band segment with such tab are slitted to define frangible bridges between an additional aperture bounded partly by such tab and an aperture.
