Claims20
A hanging condiment container holder for hanging a condiment container on an outer surface of a food package, comprising:
- a clip portion for removably attaching the holder to an upper portion of a food package;
- a loop portion for receiving a condiment container;
- and,
- an extension wall extending between the clip portion and the loop portion, the extension wall having a curved axial cross section.
A cup and hanging condiment container holder for attaching to a cup, comprising:
- a cup having a curved cup wall having an inner side and an outer side and a rounded lip extending adjacent the upper edge of the cup;
- a clip portion for removably attaching the holder to the upper edge of the cup;
- a loop portion for receiving a condiment container;
- and,
- an extension wall extending between the clip portion and the loop portion, the extension wall having a curved axial cross section generally conforming to the curve of the wall of the cup, at least a portion of the extension wall resting against the outer side of the cup when the clip portion is attached to the upper edge of the cup.
A cup and hanging condiment container holder for attaching to the cup, comprising:
- a cup having a curved cup wall and a rounded lip extending adjacent the upper edge of the cup;
- a clip portion for removably attaching the holder to the upper edge of the cup, the clip portion shaped to receive the rounded lip of the cup;
- a loop portion for receiving a condiment container;
- and,
- an extension wall extending between the clip portion and the loop portion, the extension wall having a curved axial cross section generally conforming to the curve of the wall of the cup, wherein the extension wall has a length whereby the loop portion will not be directly adjacent the upper edge of the cup when the hanging condiment container holder is suspended from the upper edge of the cup;
- wherein the cup has an inwardly sloping wall, wherein the upper edge of the cup and the inwardly sloping wall are disposed at a first angle relative to each other, wherein the loop portion and the extension wall are disposed at a second angle relative to each other, the second angle being approximately equal to the first angle so that the loop portion is positioned generally horizontal when the hanging condiment container holder is attached to the upper edge of the cup.
