Abstract
A thin, flat, absorbent, removable beverage coaster for placement over the top of a stemware foot to absorb condensation trickling down from the stemware bowl. This reduces condensation for reaching the stemware user or the table surface.
Claims21
A coaster for stemware glasses, the coaster comprising:
- a substantially planar body with a substantially flat top surface, a substantially flat bottom surface, and an external side edge;
- the coaster further comprising a centralized opening with an internal side edge;
- a substantially diagonal radial slit extending from a first opening on the external side edge to a second opening on the internal side edge into the centralized opening;
- at least one substantially straight radial perforated slit extending from the internal side edge of the centralized opening to a position on the body of the coaster between the external side edge and the internal side edge of the centralized opening;
- wherein the centralized opening is configured to removably receive and hold a stem of a stemware glass through the diagonal radial slit, such that the bottom surface rests on a top surface of a foot of the stemware glass and the internal side edge of the centralized opening surrounds the stem;
- wherein the straight radial perforated slit expands to permit that body of the coaster to sit substantially flat on the top surface of the foot of the stemware glass.

A coaster for cradling the stem of a glass, the coaster comprising:
- a substantially planar, absorbent, and portable body with a substantially flat top surface, a substantially flat bottom surface, and an external side edge;
- the coaster further comprising a centralized cavity with an internal side edge;
- a substantially diagonal radial channel extending from a first opening on the external side edge to a second opening the internal side edge into the centralized cavity;
- at least one substantially straight radial perforated channel extending from the internal side edge of the centralized cavity to a position on the body of the coaster between the external side edge and the internal side edge of the centralized cavity;
- wherein the centralized cavity is configured to removably receive and hold a stem of a stemware glass through the diagonal radial channel, such that the bottom surface of the coaster rests on a top surface of a foot of the stemware glass and the internal side edge of the centralized cavity surrounds the stem;
- wherein the straight radial perforated channel expands to permit that body of the coaster to sit substantially flat on the top surface of the foot of the stemware glass.
