Abstract

See full text

A storage and transport carrier is configured to securely hold a selected one or more of a plurality of differently-shaped fuel containers therein. The carrier includes a unitary molded body with first and second pairs of opposite side walls. The body also includes a bottom wall that extends generally between the side walls, such that surfaces of the side walls and the bottom wall cooperatively define an interior chamber of the body. The body also includes a pair of opposite elongated protrusions. Each protrusion projects upwardly from the bottom wall and is spaced laterally inwardly from a respective one of the second pair of side walls. Each of the elongated protrusions extends between opposite end margins and presents an inner container-engaging surface. The inner container-engaging surfaces are configured to engage at least a portion of one or more of the fuel containers, and thereby securely retain the same, when the containers are selectively disposed within the interior chamber of the body.
