摘要:
@ A clip (10) is capable of securely holding cans to form a multiple can package and allowing ease of disengagement and relative bending of adjacent cans in directions parallel to the multiple container package. The clip (10) is designed to engage cans having a wide range of counter-sink depths by providing an ear (12) having a guiding portion (14) with sufficient flexibility to conform to the top portion of the can. A hook portion (20) of the clip is designed to securely engage the chime portion of the can while uniform support is provided by a concentric support wall (22), to maintain engagement of the can in a secure manner with increased holding ability. A rib structure extends into the ear portion (12) to provide additional support. Flange means (24) limit movement of discrete body portions of the clip (10) to allow ease in disengagement in response to radial diagonal movement of cans during disengagement.
