Description

200405881 (1) Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to packages of array containers, and in particular plastic carriers with rings (100Ps), wherein the rings are arranged in an array Engaging and holding individual containers, especially large groups of containers. [Prior Art] A container carrier is often used to combine a plurality of containers such as bottles or cans into one unit, and has been conventionally sold. Cardboard or plastic is usually used as the material. Cardboard carriers typically include a box holding a container. The box has compartments for each container and may completely cover each container or may have an opening at the top. A wrapped box may have a handle in the form of an opening or slot. In a box with an open top, a handle may extend upwards between the rows of container compartments. Disadvantages of cardboard carriers include the need for more materials and costs. In addition, once a wrap-around box has been opened, it is no longer possible to securely hold the container. An open top carrier may cause the container to fall when inverted. The performance, light weight, low cost of plastic carriers and their versatility for containers of different sizes and shapes have been widely accepted. One of the plastic carriers ^ The design includes forming apertures in stretchable plastic. The hole is designed to extend and hold the size and shape of the container, where the container may be a bottle or jar. The 200405881 motorized mechanism can quickly and efficiently attach the extensible plastic carrier to the container. A variety of hand-grasps are known to conveniently carry the containers to which the set of carriers are secured. For example, holes for packaging are known to be held at the fingertips. A handle on a carrier is also known, wherein the handle may be on one side of the set of states' or on top of the contents. In a known design, the carrier is formed from two webs of plastic material juxtaposed with each other. The handle part and the joint container part are adhered to the juxtaposed net at the same time. The mesh is fused (fUse) or fused (we 1 d) to the selected part by lamination. Thus, the formed handle portion has a thickness of two layers of material, and the joint container portion depends on the material remaining on each side of the carrier. The bonding container has only a single layer of material. The market view of many beverage suppliers is to quickly and immediately identify their products. Consumers can identify independent containers, but have poor visibility of the entire group of containers fixed by the carrier, and potentially limit the impact of the printing location or advertisement on the container. For this reason, cardboard carriers, whether wrapped or open-top, have the advantage of providing a uniform advertising area on the box side. A shrinkable wrap is now used and a uniform advertising area is provided thereon. However, once the shrink film is torn and can no longer be used as a carrier < ' and the container will be in a scattered state again. In addition, the shrinkable film carrier cannot achieve the aesthetic purpose, and it is difficult to install a handle on the retractable film carrier. The beverage industry has a tendency to combine larger quantities of containers for sale. As mentioned above, plastic carriers have been used in so-called twelve-packs, and 200405881 various twelve packs with side handles are known. That is, the upright containers are fixed by the carrier, and the handle of the carrier is provided on the other side of the cereal group. In a carrying position _ ^ 罝 该 The striker is arranged horizontally, that is, the side carrying position is located in the upright position ^ straight < right angle. For some consumers, it is inconvenient to carry a beverage container at τ 'level, because there is a concern that the seal of the container may be broken for no reason, so that all or a large amount of beverage will overflow. In addition, large groups or cans are fixed only by plastic carriers with arrayed telescopic rings), of which independent containers can distort or twist other containers in the same group.

Link, so it may feel unstable. In this technique, a container packaging is needed, wherein the container packaging includes a plastic ring array type carrier. The carrier has a prominent advertising area, and is equipped with a top handle to balance it well and safely. container.
