Growler Carrier

Abstract

A pyramidal shaped growler carrier comprised of four sides, a bottom and an opening at the top wherein the growler is situated during transport. The growler carrier is made from a single sheet of heavy stock material that can be folded into the pyramidal shape with the various folds made upon creased lines. Stability wedges placed upon the four corners of the bottom of the carrier to increase the friction between the carrier and the floor or seat upon with the carrier sits. In the opening of the carrier, there are four security flaps attached to each side panel that fold into the opening when the growler is placed within.

1 . I claim a growler carrier made from a single sheet of heavy foldable material comprising:
 four side panels A, B, C, and D defined by an outer edge of a single sheet on one side of panel A and a second outer edge on an opposite side of panel D and a crease between panel A and B, a crease between panel B and C; and a crease between panel C and D with means for connecting side panels A and D, wherein the folding at the creases formed between side panels A and B, B and C, and C and D, make a pyramidal shape when side panels A and D are connected together; a bottom side made from a bottom panel H connected to a bottom edge of side panel D with a crease demarking the bottom edge between side panel D and bottom panel H and two prongs projecting out a bottom edge of bottom panel H near the side edges of bottom panel H, a rectangular shaped bottom panel E and a rectangular shaped bottom panel G connected to the bottom edge of side panels A and C respectively demarked by a crease line between said side panels and said bottom panels, wherein bottom panel H is folded roughly perpendicular to the pyramidal shaped side panels followed by the folding of bottom panels E and G such that the bottom panel E and G cover approximately one half of the bottom of the pyramidal shaped carrier and bottom panel H covers approximately the other half of the bottom of the pyramidal shape carrier with the prongs overlapping between the bottom panels H and the bottom panels E and G and a gap formed between the three bottom panels E, G and H when folded perpendicular with the side panels, with a fourth bottom panel F, approximately rectangular in shape with a projecting tongue at the bottom edge of bottom panel F, connected to a bottom edge of side panel B with a crease line between said side panel B and bottom panel F and when bottom panel F is folded over after the folding of bottom panel H, E, and G, the tongue is inserted into the gap securing the four bottom panels into a bottom side; an opening at the top of the pyramidal shaped carrier formed from the top edges of the four side panels and sized to securely fit a growler within said opening.   
     
     
         2 . The growler carrier of claim one further comprising; a tab located on the outer edge of side panel D and an inside flap located on the outer edge of side panel A with a slot in the material between side panel A and the inside flap wherein the tab has two foldable flaps located on a bottom and top edge of the tab wherein the tab and flaps are sized and shaped to be inserted into the slot when the flaps are folded upon the tab and the tab is inserted into the slot with the side panel and A and side pane D when the side panels A and D are connected with the flaps unfolded securing the tab within the slot and securing the outer edge of side panel A to the outer edge of side panel D. 
     
     
         3 . The growler carrier of  claim 1  further comprising four stability wedges located at each corner on the bottom side and formed by making small wedge cuts perpendicular and inset from the bottom edges of the side panels with a tip at the end of the cut furthest from the bottom edge and the four corners made between side panels A and B, side panels B and C, side panel C and D, and side panels A and D and making the crease line between said side panels and said bottom panels between the tips of each wedge cut. 
     
     
         4 . The pyramidal shaped growler carrier of  claim 1  further comprising four security flaps creased into the top of each side panel such that when a growler is placed into said opening the security flap is folded into the space with said growler. 
     
     
         5 . The pyramidal shaped growler carrier of  claim 1  further comprising advertisements placed upon an outer side of said side panels. 
     
     
         6 . The pyramidal shaped growler carrier of  claim 4  further comprising detachable tabs at the end of the four security flaps for the placement of redeemable coupons.
