DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(17) As seen in FIG. 1, the modular spring bias cavity device 15 has shock protection and thermal insulation in a hand carried configuration. The modular spring bias cavity device includes a cover 20. The cover 20 has a multiple layer structure including a cover outside fabric layer 21 and a cover inside fabric layer 121. A space between the cover outside fabric layer 21 and the cover inside fabric layer 121 has a double reflective layer which includes a cover outside reflective layer 22 and a cover inside reflective layer 23. The cover cushion 24 is mounted to the cover inside fabric layer 121 to form a cushioning lid. The cushioning lid is formed as the cover which is pivotally mounted to the base 10.

(18) The cover cushion 24 is contoured with a pair of indents including a first cover cushion cavity indent 27 and a second cover cushion cavity indent 28. The pair of indents are formed between the hinge side 25 and the opening side 126. The opening side cushion indent 26 rests upon the front engagement shoulder 96 and the cushion indent extension 29 extends downwardly from the opening side cushion indent 26 and extends downwardly from the first cover cushion cavity indent 27. The cover cushion cooperates with a support structure 30 mounted in a base 10.

(19) The base 10 has a base outside reflective layer 13 and a base inside reflective layer 14. The base outside reflective layer 13 faces the base inside reflective layer 14. The base outside reflective layer is preferably laminated onto an inside surface of the base outside fabric layer 11. The base inside reflective layer 14 is preferably laminated to an exterior surface of the base inside fabric layer 12.

(20) The base 10 supports a support structure 30. The support structure 30 has a support structure rear wall 37 that is snugly biased inwardly with a channel frame rear section 54. A channel frame 50 fits into a channel between the suspension frame 60 and the support structure 30. The channel frame has a channel frame rear section 54, a channel frame front section 53, a channel frame left section 55 and a channel frame right section 145. The channel frame is rigid in a vertical direction and flexible in a horizontal direction. The channel frame is preferably made of an elongated plastic extrusion that has been heat formed to conform to the external profile of the support structure 30.

(21) The channel frame 50 has a channel frame upper edge 51 that engages a front engagement shoulder 96, and a channel frame front section 53 that abuts the suspension frame 60. The channel frame lower edge 52 preferably abuts the base inside fabric layer 12. The channel frame 50 can be a hollow member and formed of a horizontally disposed extrusions having horizontal hollow portions. The horizontal hollow portions form a gap to provide additional insulation while absorbing shock and being more flexible. The horizontal hollow portions form a plurality of vertically stacked hollow passages 81. The vertically stacked hollow passages 81 provide a resiliency to impact and distribute the impact against the support structure rear wall 37 for example if the rear portion received an impact such as by dropping.

(22) The support structure 30 has a support structure base 38 with cavities such as a first cavity 31 and a second cavity 32. The first cavity 31 has a first cavity gap 33 and the second cavity 32 has a second cavity gap 34.

(23) A suspension frame 60 can be formed of a molded sheet of plastic. The suspension frame 60 preferably includes a first suspension frame cavity 61 and a second suspension frame cavity 62. A first glass vessel 41 fits in the first suspension frame cavity 61 and a second glass vessel 42 fits in the second suspension frame cavity 62. The first suspension frame cavity 61 is suspended above the base with a first cavity 33 between the first suspension frame cavity and the base. The suspension 60 is flexible and resilient such that acts as a spring during impact such as from a drop.

(24) The first glass vessel 41 and the second glass the 42 can be wine bottles that are oriented with the wine bottle bodies opposing each other. A middle support wall 43 cushions the first glass vessel 41 from the second glass vessel 42. The support structure 30 suspends the suspension frame 60.

(25) A front gap 91 and a rear gap 92 are formed between the channel frame 50 and the fabric walls, namely the front fabric wall 71 and the rear fabric wall 76. A rear tape connector 94 and a front tape connector 93 connect the channel frame 52 the side external walls 70. The tape connectors can be hook and loop tape.

(26) As seen in FIG. 2, the suspension frame 60 has a front suspension frame overlap 64 extending downwardly over a channel frame 50 to a suspension frame 63. The front suspension frame overlap 64 is sandwiched between the channel frame 50 and the tape connectors. The suspension frame 60 has a suspension frame front corner 66 which receives the channel frame upper edge 51. The suspension frame also has a rear suspension frame corner 67 which also receives the channel frame upper edge 51.

(27) The cushion indent extension 29 also extends from the hinge side 25. The closing side cushion indent 126 engages the rear engagement shoulder 95. When the rear suspension frame overlap 65 fits over the suspension frame 50, the suspension frame rear corner 67 rests upon the channel frame upper edge 51.

(28) As seen in FIG. 3, the base 10 includes sidewalls such as a front base wall, a rear base wall, a left base wall, and a right base wall. The support structure front wall 36 support is preferably in snug press fit with the channel frame 50. The support structure 30 has a support structure laminate stack 39 which is formed by stacks of sheets of foam. The support structure 30 can have a front support wall 46, a rear support wall 47, a left support wall 45, and a right support wall 44. The front support wall 46 faces the opening side 26 and the rear support wall 47 faces the hinge side 25. The channel frame left section 55 supports the left support wall 45. The channel frame rear section 54 supports the rear support all 47. The channel frame right section 145 supports the right support wall 44.

(29) As seen in FIG. 4, the present invention can be built as a three bottle carrier.

(30) As seen in FIG. 5, the present invention can be built as a single bottle carrier.

(31) As seen in FIG. 6, the present invention can be built five bottle carrier.

(32) As seen in FIG. 7, the present invention can be built as a four bottle carrier.

(33) As seen in FIG. 8, the exploded view of modular spring bias cavity shows that channel frame 50 can be moved from the base 10 and the lid 20. The support structure 30 and the suspension frame 60 can also be removed from the base 10 and the lid 20.

(34) As seen in FIG. 9. A perspective view of the present invention shows the general outline of the depth of suspension cavity during use.
