Abstract
A bottle carrier unit which attaches to the necks of one or more bottles for lifting and carrying the bottles. The two-bottle carrier unit is a support device with first and second collars attachable to respective necks of a pair of bottles, the collars being supported on opposite sides of a central handle section, with a longitudinal slit or gap bisecting the central handle section and a radial portion of each collar adjacent thereto. The slit allows the bisected handle sections to be pulled apart, thereby enlarging the size of the collars to facilitate insertion and removal of the bottles. The slit also allows for the torques applied by carrying the unit or the forces applied by grasping the handles to provide additional connection strength to the collars onto the bottle necks. The handle sections may include side stiffening members for providing structural stiffness thereto.
