Abstract

Bottle-type conveyor intended for packaging a series of bottles provided with collars and closure caps, which conveyor comprises a sheet of material adapted to wrap around a group of bottles and arranged to present their joined edges forming a tubular container of ends openings provided with an upper section and a lower section interconnected by a pair of sidewall panels, a series of openings formed in the upper section and each of them provided with radial slits around its periphery to receive the necks of the bottles packaged, the radial slits defining radiant formations intended to be coupled to the edges of the bottle caps from below, thus fixing the upper part of the conveyor with respect to the bottles, and a pair of terminal panels at each end of the conveyor, folding together each terminal panel to a terminal edge of each panel d lateral wall, and cooperating interconnection means formed in each terminal panel of each pair of terminal panels to secure the panels of each pair of terminals to each other.
