Plate holder for children and handicapped persons

A method of manufacturing and assembling a plate holder for securely holding a dish to a structure comprising:

• forming a C-shaped structure including a top arm, a side arm and a bottom arm with a notch in top arm and a riveted hole and inward extension in bottom arm;
• forming a screw of compatible dimensions with the C-shaped structure;
• forming a skirt with compatible dimensions with the C-shaped structure;
• threading the screw through the underside end of the bottom arm so that the screw extends perpendicularly with the bottom arm and toward the top arm, parallel with the side arm;
• fixing slip resistant padding to the underside of the top arm;
• positioning the protrusion of the suction device down and through top of the skirt;
• sliding or fastening the protrusion of the suction device through the notch of the top arm such that the skirt and the suction end of the suction device are on the topside of the top arm, and such that the omission of the fold over in the skirt is positioned over the top arm.

A method of securely holding a dish comprising:

• providing a plate holder that includes:
• a C-shaped structure including a top arm, a side arm, and a bottom arm, the top arm having a topside and a bottomside, the topside of the top arm having attached a suction device;
• a skirt attached in between the top arm and the suction device;
• and
• a slip-resistant padding attached to the bottomside of the top arm, the bottom arm having a topside and a bottomside, the bottom arm having a riveted hole near the outside end of the bottom arm;
• a screw threaded through the riveted hole, passing through the bottomside of the bottom arm and perpendicular to the bottom arm and parallel to the side arm, the riveted hole having a diameter and rivet size that is complimentary to the screw size, the C-shaped structure being positioned such that the side is flush with the edge of a dining structure, the screw being tightened such that the C-shaped structure is to become locked in position upon the table, to securely attach the plate holder as a result of a force on the top arm and the screw.
