Abstract
A carrier device (1) for connecting together an array of flanged containers (13) comprises a corresponding array of interconnected container encircling bands (2, 3; 5, 6) made from flexible resilient material. Each of the bands (2, 3; 5,6) is elongate and each has a strap (4, 7) extending across it from end to end. The carrier device (1) connects the array of flanged containers (13) together by each band (2, 3; 5, 6) engaging its corresponding container (13) beneath its flange (14) and with each strap (4, 7) extending across the top of the container (13). The strap (4, 7) helps to support the weight of any other packages of containers placed on top of the first containers so as to prevent the second containers from damaging the foil lids (15) of the first containers (13). When the containers (13) include a substantial taper the strap (4, 7) also holds the container encircling band (2, 3; 5,6) at the top of the container (13) immediately adjacent its flange (14).
