Abstract

A collapsible beverage carrier having a moveable base support and a squared handle, adapted to be collapsible for safe and easy transport and storage when not in use, said carrier further comprising a top surface plate having a plurality of circular shaped openings positioned therein for receiving a plurality of beverage containers, a pair of circular catches each disposed on opposite sides of the top surface; and a pair of curve shaped hinges positioned at the opposite ends along a base of said top surface plate, wherein two side walls are moveably coupled to the pair of curve shaped hinges such that when the side walls are coupled to the top surface in a first position they each extend downward, laterally away from the top surface and when the side walls are then rotated inward, in opposite directions, toward the top surface they thereby rotate into a “closed” position and extend in a parallel fashion along the base / bottom of the top surface plate.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates in general to devices for holding and carrying beverage containers. In particular this invention relates to a device for holding and carrying a plurality of beverages which is adapted to be collapsible for safe and easy transport and storage when not in use.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Beverages are commonly sold in bottles, cups or cans, which may come in various sizes, and are generally circular in cross section. Such beverage bottles, cups or cans are commonly transported for consumption to beaches, parks, sporting events and other recreational areas from a vehicle to an area where the beverages are to be consumed. When individuals need to carry such bottles, cups or cans, beverage bottle carriers are needed to enable an individual to carry the beverages more easily than grasping them individually by hand.[0003]Beverage bottle carriers are generally known in the art. Exemplary of the patents of the related art are the followi...
