Abstract
A carrier for necked containers has a pair of split collars with conically tapered container neck-engaging fingers disposed at a 30-45 degree conical taper angle relative to planes transverse to the collar axes for engagement over the container necks to positions wherein the collar fingers are disposed below and in vertical supporting engagment with the container neck rings, and a bridge section joining the collars and forming a handgrip by which the carrier may be held in a normal position wherein the weight of supported containers bends the ends of the bridge section downwardly. The bridge section has upstanding ribs at its upper side which reinforce the bridge section against excessive bending and form upwardly opening cavities having drain holes for draining liquid from the cavities.
