Abstract
A receptacle for carrying and displaying glassware formed from a blank comprising a single sheet of paper stock. The receptacle includes an open front and rear rectangular parallelopiped sleeve having a top, a bottom, and opposite side walls connecting the top and bottom wall, all of which are hinged to each other. Four cylindrical glassware items can be supported within the receptacle and displayed between a divider wall provided along the interior of the bottom and top wall and the outer edges of the receptacle. The divider wall is collapsible within the interior of the receptacle so as to enable the receptacle sides, top, and bottom, to pivot relative to each other and assume a substantially flat state for transportation and storage. A divider wall latching mechanism is movable from a first position which latches the divider wall in its upright position to a second position which allows the divider wall to collapse and thus cause the carrier to assume its flat state.
