Abstract

A single folded fiberboard carrier for an even number of drinking vessels of varying shapes and sizes, having a central vertical handle portion or section, a divergent pair of apertured panels hinged to the handle portion and a convergent pair of apertured panels hinged from said divergent panels and hinged together at their bottom. The apertures in these pairs of panels are for clamping the conical or frusto-conical sides of the paper or plastic drinking cups suspended in the carrier, and for preventing tilting or spilling of the contents in the cups when the carrier is at rest and the cups are supported on their bottoms. The vertical handle portion is apertured for grasping with the fingers of one's hand. The divergent panels have elongated cup body engaging apertures with semicircular floating collars hinged at their ends diametrically of the apertures for engaging the upper sides of different size and tapered frusto-conical cups. The convergent panels also have elongated but slightly smaller apertures vertically aligned with the apertures in the divergent panels.
