Carrier for condiment and beverage containers

Abstract

A carrier for condiment and beverage containers has an upright sidewall affixed to a horizontal bottom that cooperates with the sidewall to form a storage area to receive and hold condiment and beverage containers. A horizontal platform integral with the bottom extends outward with respect to the sidewall terminating with an outer end. An elongate dowel is affixed to the platform between the outer end of the platform and the sidewall. The elongate dowel extends upright with respect to the platform, and is to receive thereabout a paper towel roll and the platform to receive and support an end of the paper towel roll received thereabout the elongate dowel.

Having fully described the invention in such clear and concise terms as to enable those skilled in the art to understand and practice the same, the invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A carrier for condiment and beverage containers, comprising:
 an upright sidewall affixed to a horizontal bottom that cooperates with the sidewall to form a storage area to receive and hold condiment and beverage containers;   a horizontal platform integral with the bottom that extends outward with respect to the sidewall and terminates with an outer end;   an elongate dowel affixed to the platform between the outer end of the platform and the sidewall, the elongate dowel extends upright with respect to the platform; and   the elongate dowel to receive thereabout a paper towel roll and the platform to receive and support an end of the paper towel roll received thereabout the elongate dowel.   
     
     
         2 . The carrier for condiment and beverage containers according to  claim 1 , further comprising a divider that divides the storage area into storage compartments each to receive and hold a condiment container. 
     
     
         3 . The carrier for condiment and beverage containers according to  claim 2 , wherein the divider has a top formed with a handle. 
     
     
         4 . A carrier for condiment and beverage containers, comprising:
 an upright sidewall affixed to a horizontal bottom that cooperates with the sidewall to form a storage area divided into compartments with a divider, having a top formed with a handle, substantially vertically intersecting the sidewall, the compartments to receive and hold condiment and beverage containers;   a horizontal platform integral with the bottom that extends outward with respect to the sidewall and terminates with an outer end;   an elongate dowel affixed to the platform between the outer end of the platform and the sidewall, the elongate dowel extends upright with respect to the platform; and   the elongate dowel to receive thereabout a paper towel roll and the platform to receive and support an end of the paper towel roll received thereabout the elongate dowel.   
     
     
         5 . A carrier for condiment and beverage containers, comprising:
 a sidewall including opposed, substantially parallel first and second end panels, and opposed, substantially parallel first and second side panels substantially perpendicular with respect to the first and second end panels;   a central panel oriented substantially parallel with respect to the first and second side panels and substantially vertical with respect to the first and second end panels, the central panel located between the first and second side panels and substantially vertically intersecting the first and second end panels;   a bottom that is substantially horizontal with respect to, and affixed to, the first and second end panels, the first and second side panels, and the central panel;   the bottom, the first and second side panels, the first and second end panels, and the central panel define cavities to hold condiment and beverage containers;   a platform integral with the bottom that is substantially horizontal with respect to the first and second end panels, the first and second side panels, and the central panel, the platform extends outward with respect to the first end panel and terminates with an outer end;   an elongate dowel affixed to the platform between the outer end of the platform and the first end panel, the elongate dowel extending substantially vertically upright with respect to the platform; and   the elongate dowel to receive thereabout a paper towel roll and the platform to receive and support an end of the paper towel roll received thereabout the elongate dowel.   
     
     
         6 . The carrier for condiment and beverage containers according to  claim 5 , wherein the central panel has a top formed with a handle.
