Benefits of technology
The patent text is discussing the need for a device that allows for more efficient and efficient application of beverage container carriers without the need for a large-scale, automated device. The device is a base plate with guide members that align and position containers for proper alignment with a carrier. The guide members may comprise bars, plates, or extensions. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a small-scale, affordable, and easy-to-operate mechanical device that improves efficiency and effectiveness when applying carriers to beverage containers.
Problems solved by technology
Smaller scale operations such as independent breweries typically employ a time-consuming and labor-intensive process of having an individual manually insert each can into a carrier.

Embodiment Construction
[0036]FIG. 1 is a front left perspective view of an applicator device 2 for carriers according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The applicator 2 of FIG. 1 comprises a base member in the form of a base plate 4. The base plate 4 comprises a substantially planar and horizontal member that is operable to receive a plurality of containers 18 as shown. In some embodiments, the base plate 4 comprises a plurality of feet 6 to support, stabilize, and / or level the device. The feet 6 may comprise rubber feet that increase friction between the device 2 and a surface upon which the device 2 is provided. The device 2 further comprises an upwardly extending frame member or vertical support 8. The frame member 8 comprises a support and guide for a press 10 that is vertically displaceable as shown and described herein.
[0037]The press 10 is operable to receive a carrier device (not shown in FIG. 1). The press 10 and associated carrier are downwardly displaceable to apply a compressive for...
