Tubular structure for transport, handling and protection of bottles

摘要

A tubular structure has a cradle for holding a cylindrical bottle and has parallel tubes extending along and closely fitting to its cylindrical surface. The tubes curve back under the bottle and join together under the center of the bottle. The tubes also join together at their top to form carrying handles. Preferred Features: The cradle may have four tubes and two handles. Beneath the bottle the tubes come together to form an X-shape including a hinge attached to the bottle so a pair of tubes can pivot relative to the other pair. The handles are formed by joining the tubes in each pair.
