BASKET-STYLE ARTICLE CARRIER

摘要

A basket-style carrier (10) with means (60) for maintaining the carrier open during loading. The carrier includes a retainer tab (60) foldably connected to at least one end panel (52) of the carrier (10). When the tab (60) is folded inwardly transversely of the end panel (52), it maintains the carrier (10) in open condition until the articles (B) being loaded reach the tabs (60). At that point the articles (B) themselves are able to maintain the carrier (10) open. Continued insertion of the articles (B) during loading causes the articles (B) to fold the tabs (60) up against the inside face of the end panel sections (52).
