Abstract

An expandable attachment for securing a beverage container to a turner can include a linkage with arms, each of the arms having opposite ends, a grip pad pivotably attached to an end of each of the arms, the grip pad being configured to grip an interior surface of the beverage container, a threaded member, a base, the threaded member being rigidly secured to the base, and an end of an arm being pivotably attached to the base, another base, the threaded member being axially displaceable through the second base, and an end of the other arm being pivotably attached to the second base, and an adjustment wheel having threads therein engaged with threads of the threaded member. A method can include inserting an expandable attachment into a beverage container, and rotating a portion of the expandable attachment, thereby radially outwardly displacing grip pads of the expandable attachment.
