Abstract
A container carrier that moves containers in a transport direction has container holder with a recess and a hold-down. The recess receives a container between its mouth and its flange and forms a bearing surface to support a lower face of the flange thereby suspending the container. Meanwhile, the hold-down engages the opposite or top face of the flange to prevent the container from swinging.
