CAN CLIP CARRIER WITH GLUE FLAPS

摘要

A carrier (10) for articles such as beverage cans (C) of the type that grip the top portions of the cans so as to suspend them from the carrier. The upper ends of the cans extend through apertures in the bottom panel (14) of the carrier and the chimes or lips of the cans are engaged by support tabs (20 22) surrounding the aperture. Glue flaps (50) foldably connected to one of the support tabs (47) at each aperture overlie the upper ends of the cans and are glued to the top panel. An opening (54) in the support tab includes an edge which functions as the support edge. In addition the bottom panel (14) finger holes (62) have a straight transverse inner edge connected to a cover tab (62) along a score line (64). Spaced arcuate score lines (66,70) in the bottom panel cause the intervening segments (68) of the bottom panel to buttress the inner edge.
