Abstract
A carrier for returnable beverage containers such as metal cans of aluminum or the like and bottles which includes a plurality of substantially rigid tubes connected together by clips or other connectors to form the carrier. Each of the tubes is vertically elongated to receive a plurality of vertically oriented containers in stacked relation. Carrying handle structure is attached to the carrier to enable it to be easily carried and the bottom ends of the tubes have a retainer which can be rendered ineffective to enable the returned containers to be discharged by gravity from the lower ends of the tubes thereby enabling a plurality of returnable containers to be easily returned to the point of purchase for refund of a deposit with the modular construction of the tubes and the interconnecting clip arrangements enabling variation in the capacity of the carrier.
