US 12,304,376 B2 · Rotatable condiment holder

Abstract

A condiment holder including a holding member and connector. The connector includes a clip with flexible teeth for gripping a support surface such as a vehicle air vent fin. The holding member is rotatable relative to the clip between first and second positions disposed at 180° to one another. When in the first position, a first surface of the holding member faces upwardly and when in the second position, a second surface faces upwardly. An interior wall of the holding member defines an aperture extending between the first and second surfaces. The interior wall includes at least three sets of opposed wall sections, each configured to engage a different one of a plurality of differently-shaped condiment containers. A retaining wall extends outwardly from the second surface. When the holding member is in the second position, another differently configured condiment container is receivable in a compartment bounded by the retaining wall.

A condiment holder comprising:

a holding member having a first surface and an opposed second surface;
wherein the holding member is selectively orientable between a first position and a second position;
an aperture defined by an interior wall of the holding member, said aperture extending between the first surface and the second surface;
at least one retaining wall extending outwardly from the second surface of the holding member;
wherein the at least one retaining wall bounds and defines a compartment, and wherein the at least one retaining wall at least partially circumscribes the aperture;
wherein when the holding member is in the first position, the aperture and/or interior surface of the holding member is adapted to operatively engage a first condiment container having a first configuration;
and
wherein when the holding member is in the second position, the compartment defined by the at least one retaining wall is adapted to operatively engage a second condiment container having a second configuration, and the second configuration is different from the first configuration.
