Abstract

A beverage carrier assembly including a pair of article supporting end carrier units each having interlocking means for engagement with a center carrier unit. In one form, the three carriers may each be an eight-pack carrier providing a tri-unit assembly for use as a standard 24 bottle or can beverage transporting case. The carriers are readily separable into individual hand carrying units by upward lifting of the center carrier. A dovetail coupling structure interlocks the carriers and may include a releasable detent locking arrangement.
