A wrap-around neck through the top carrier with a handle that can retracted into the interior of the carrier for stacking one carrier on top of another and which can be easily extended for carrying. The retractabilty and extension of the handle is facilitated by having a flexing panel attached to the handle panel by a fold line which in turn is attached to the top panel by fold line with a fold line between the handle panel and the flexing panel being approximately midway between the apertures in the top panel and the hand aperture in the handle panel. There also a fold line adjacent the apertures for the bottles.

There also a fold line adjacent the apertures for the bottles. s in a conversion apparatus, said conversion apparatus including progressive tooling for working on end shells, said tooling being arranged in successive stations along a predetermined path; the improvement comprising a conveyor belt having regularly spaced openings therein spaced apart corresponding to the spacing of the tooling stations, said openings extending along at least one lane extending longitudinally along said belt, first and second drums supported respectively at opposite ends of said predetermined path to define upper and lower flights of said conveyor belt, end shell carrier nests fitted into said openings in said belt, said nests including an array of flexible fingers adapted to engage the periphery of a shell to hold the shell therein during conversion work on the shell as the shell is passed through said tooling, attachment means on each of said nests fastening the respective said nest to said belt along a line transverse to said belt to allow each said nest to pass around said drums, a loading station along said upper flight of said belt located between said first drum and the first of said tooling stations, means at said loading station for presenting an end shell to each nest located at said loading station, means cooperating with said belt at said loading station to place a presented end shell onto said fingers, and means for raising and lowering a section of said belt and attached nests along said upper flight of said belt at all of said tooling stations during each incremental motion thereof. 3. A conveyor system as defined in claim 2, wherein said means for placing an end shell includes a vacuum box below said belt upper flight at said loading station to draw an end shell onto said fingers of the nest located at said loading station. 4. A conveyor system as defned in claim 3, further including insertion means located between said loading station and the first of said tooling stations and driven synchronously with said progressive tooling to insert the end shell into full engagement with said fingers of said nest. 5. A conveyor system as defined in claim 1, further including means defining an unloading station beneath said lower flight of said at least one belt whereby each easy open end processed through said tooling is carried about said second drum to said unloading station, and means at said unloading station for ejecting converted easy open ends from said nests. 6. A conveyor system as defined in claim 2, wherein said nests each include a base ring having a peripheral ledge dimensioned to seat upon the edge of said openings in said belt, and said fingers are integral inwardly projecting extensions from said base ring and are spaced apart around the interior of said base ring. 7. A conveyor system as defined in claim 6, wherein said fingers include shoulders thereon defining an interrupted circular surface adapted to press against the periphery of an end shell to retain the shell stationary in the nest whereby the shell is retained solely by inwardly directed pressure of said fingers.
