The device includes a base component, the base component configured to be attached to a neck of a carboy; and a clip component coupled to the base component, the clip component configured to hold a racking cane steady relative to the carboy, the clip component being adjustable relative to the base component so as to allow a position and/or angle of the racking cane to be adjusted by a user.
Claims20
A device for holding a racking cane, the device comprising:
- a base component, the base component configured to be attached to a neck of a carboy;
- and
- a clip component coupled to the base component, the clip component configured to hold a racking cane steady relative to the carboy, the clip component being adjustable relative to the base component so as to allow a position and an angle of the racking cane to be adjusted by a user;
- wherein the base component comprises a body portion and a vertical member extending upwardly from the body portion, the clip component being adjustably attached to the vertical member of the base component;
- and
- wherein the vertical member comprises an elongate slot disposed therethrough, the elongate slot enabling the clip component to be slidably adjustable relative to the base component so as to allow the position of the racking cane to be adjusted by the user.

A device for holding a racking cane, the device comprising:
- a base component, the base component configured to be attached to a neck of a carboy, the base component comprising a cylindrical body portion with an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface;
- a clip component coupled to the base component, the clip component configured to hold a racking cane steady relative to the carboy, the clip component being adjustable relative to the base component so as to allow at least one of a position and an angle of the racking cane to be adjusted by a user;
- and
- a tightening knob coupled to the cylindrical body portion of the base component, the tightening knob configured to tighten the cylindrical body portion of the base component against the neck of the carboy so that the device is capable of being securely attached to the carboy;
- wherein the base component further comprises one or more notches disposed in a top portion of the cylindrical body portion or one or more slots disposed in a sidewall portion of the cylindrical body portion, the one or more notches or the one or more slots enabling the cylindrical body portion of the base component to flex when the tightening knob is tightened by the user.
