BASKET CARRIER FOR BOTTLES AND BLANK THEREFOR

摘要

An article carrier (C) of the basket type adapted to accommodate a plurality of articles, such as bottles (B). The carrier comprises a base (14, 18), opposed side (12, 20) and end walls (50, 52; 82, 84), and internal medial partition structure (74, 78) and handle means (H) by which the carrier can be lifted and carried. The bottles are received on both sides of the medial partition structure of the carrier. A pair of securing flaps (114, 116) are hinged to the medial partition structure and are secured to an end wall (84) of the carrier to create a joint between said medial partition structure and that end wall. The medial partition structure is formed from first and second medial partition panels (74, 78) hinged together along a first fold line (80). The first fold line is disposed inwardly of the carrier from said end wall (84) relative to a pair of second fold lines (118, 120) by which said securing flaps are hinged to one (74) of the first and second medial partition panels.
