Abstract
A clip which securely connects a smaller drinking vessel such as a shot glass on the inside rim of a larger drinking vessel such as a beer glass. A first holding finger and a second holding finger are configured for pinching a smaller drinking vessel between them. A third holding finger is configured for holding a larger drinking vessel. An arch connects the holding fingers.
Claims5
A clip for holding a shot glass inside of a larger glass, comprising:
- a back;
- a protrusion connected to the back extending inwardly;
- a parabolic handle extending from the back first in an upward sloping direction then in a downward sloping direction;
- a first inlet configured to clip the larger glass, and a second inlet configured to clip the shot glass;
- an arch extending from the protrusion,
- wherein the arch which connects and extends between the first inlet and the second inlet is a source of a curved beerglass holding finger and a straight shotglass holding finger, and the curved beerglass holding finger is configured to pinch a beer glass rim against the straight shotglass holding finger, and the protrusion and the straight shotglass holding finger is configured to hold the shot glass securely;
- wherein the handle is an actuator configured to allow the shot glass to drop,
- wherein the handle is configured to move the protrusion outwardly off of the straight shotglass holding finger and release the shot glass into the larger glass;
- wherein when both of the glasses are clipped, the protrusion is configured to essentially be sitting inside the shot glass;
- and
- wherein the handle is on a side of the clip which is closer to the first inlet for the larger glass than the second inlet for receiving the shot glass.

A clip for holding a smaller drinking vessel inside a larger drinking vessel, comprising:
- a back;
- a protrusion extending inwardly from the back;
- a handle extending from the back;
- an arch extending from the protrusion;
- a straight holding finger extending from the arch;
- a curved holding finger extending from the arch;
- wherein the straight holding finger and the curved holding finger define a first inlet configured to receive and pinch a rim of the larger drinking vessel;
- wherein the protrusion and the straight holding finger define a second inlet configured to receive and pinch a rim of the smaller drinking vessel such that the smaller drinking vessel is retained within the larger drinking vessel;
- and
- wherein the handle is operatively coupled to the back such that movement of the handle causes the back and the protrusion to move away from the straight holding finger, thereby releasing the smaller drinking vessel from the second inlet into the larger drinking vessel.
