Abstract
An article carrier is provided which is adapted to assume a first mode wherein the articles accommodated within the carrier are substantially concealed therein and adjacent articles are retained in a predetermined, non-contacting relation. The carrier is also adapted to subsequently assume a second mode wherein the interior of the carrier is formed into at least two contiguous open top compartments. The compartments are adapted to accommodate the articles once they have initially been removed from the carrier when the latter is in the first mode.
