Abstract
A collapsible device including a frame, a pair of upper support structures, a pair of lower support structures, and a handle. Each upper support structure includes ring members each being configured to receive a container when the upper support structure is in an extended position. Each upper and lower support structure is configured to pivot between a retracted position and an extended position. The handle is movable between a retracted and an extended position independently of the upper and lower support structures. The upper and lower support structures in the extended positions are configured to cooperate to support at least one container. Each upper support structure is configured to overlap with a lower support structure when both are in the retracted position. When extended, the handle is configured to be grasped by a user to transport the device with the upper and lower support structures in the extended position.
