938,683. Carriers for beaded rim cans. POLYPAK CORPORATION OF AMERICA. April 20, 1960 [April 29, 1959], No. 13917/60. Classes 94(1) and 133. A device for carrying beaded cans comprises a protective cover 20 made of plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene and having pockets 31 into each of which one end of a can may be placed, the can being firmly held in the pocket by a side wall band 40 (see Fig. 3) which is stretched to grip the side wall 34 of the can, the can rim bead 36 resting on an abutment 42 at the top of the side wall band 40 when the cover is lifted. Each pocket 31 has a central top area 32 which may be shaped as in Fig. 3 to conform with the contours of the can top 35 and in another embodiment this central top area 32 is also strengthened by ribbed embossments. Downwardly extending sleeves 69 provide carrying means by enabling a finger and the thumb of one hand to be placed in the sleeves. An alternative carrying means is provided by upwardly extending sleeves 64 in one of which a finger may be placed, the cover remaining substantially in a vertical plane while being carried. The assembled cover and cans form a package 80 which may have attached to the bottoms of the cans a pocketed tray similar to cover 20. The cover may be cut or pre-weakened between each pocket so that a can detached from the protective cover may retain its pocket. Stacking is facilitated by the shaping of the pockets 31 of the cover, crowned ridges 38, Fig. 4, fitting inside the bottom rim beads of superposed cans.
