Carrier for holding multiple containers securely together
The patent US12071291B2 describes a carrier designed to hold multiple containers securely. The carrier features an attachment panel equipped with several container retention openings, each defined by two edges. Integral to the design are container retention tabs that maintain the containers' position by urging them against the attachment panel. These tabs consist of a central portion and at least one extension, which interrupts the edges of the retention openings, ensuring that the containers remain engaged with the panel. The claims detail various configurations of the retention tabs, including curved edges for better engagement with the containers and the possibility of multiple tabs working in conjunction.
Additionally, the patent outlines a method for forming the carrier from a blank, which includes the same attachment panel and retention features. The method involves positioning the panel to receive the containers and arranging the retention tabs to secure them in place. The claims also specify that the central portion of the retention tabs can be separably connected, allowing for flexibility in how they engage with the containers. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for a carrier that enhances the stability and organization of multiple containers, making it suitable for various packaging applications.
