The lower jaw portion being generally shaped like the top of a candy cane, a shepherd's crook or a hook. The curve of the lower jaw portion allows for flexing and enables secure attachment to a range of horizontal surfaces.
Claims11
A beverage holder comprising:
- a c-shaped clamp with a generally horizontal upper portion including a first jaw portion, a generally vertical portion and a second generally horizontal portion, said second generally horizontal portion, including a second jaw portion having a aperture of predetermined diameter, said c-shaped clamp aligned along a generally vertical axis;
- a plunger member received by said opening, said plunger member having a proximal end portion, and a distal end, said proximal end having a head with a diameter greater than said aperture;
- a spring positioned around said plunger member with a diameter greater than said aperture;
- a flange attached at said distal end of said plunger member, said flange having and upper and lower surface, said lower flange surface in frictional contact with said spring;
- a first anti-slip pad attached to said first jaw portion of said upper portion of said c-shaped clamp;
- a second anti-slip pad attached to said upper surface of said flange;
- a base portion attached to said vertical portion of said clamp portion, said base portion at a predetermined elevation below said first jaw portion;
- at least one circumferential ring portion attached to said vertical portion of said c-shaped clamp, said circumferential ring being substantially parallel to said base portion, a predetermined spacing from said base portion from a base unit and, and each of said at least 1 circumferential ring having an elevation below said first jaw portion and below said upper portion of said flange portion;
