| 1992 | Invention patented by Stewart R. Rissley on November 2nd, 1992. Abstract: A one-piece container carrier formed from a flat, generally rectangular, sheet of resilient material and having at least two sets of two sockets aligned in a row and formed in the body member for receiving and gripping beneath an enlarged rim on a reduced diameter neck portion on at least a pair of containers. A pair of handles are integrally joined at opposite ends thereof at four spaced corner portions to the body member and initially lie within a plane of the body member and along opposite lateral sides of the sockets. When the body member is deformed to bring the two sockets of each set into axial alignment with one another and the reduced diameter neck portion on each container is received in and extends through the axially aligned sockets of each set, the elasticity of the material forming the handles causes the handles to automatically adopt a shape between the respective opposite ends thereof that is substantially resiliently displaced out of the plane of a remaining portion of the body member while remaining on the aforesaid opposite lateral sides of the sockets. |
