Methods and apparatus for supporting tumblers or bottles using a tilting off-set wedge mechanism with adjustable control

An apparatus for supporting a tumbler, bottle, or similar items, the apparatus comprising:

• a handle portion having a point of insertion for receiving a threaded screw, the handle portion comprising a first nut attached to a plate fixedly positioned within the handle portion;
• a stem portion extending from the handle portion, the stem portion comprising an upper stem portion having a tapered bottom surface, and a lower stem portion including an off-set wedge configured to tilt for engaging an interior surface of the tumbler, the off-set wedge comprising a tapered top surface and a second nut positioned at a base of the off-set wedge;
• and a control mechanism configured to actuate and control a tilting of the off-set wedge, the control mechanism comprising the threaded screw extending through the point of insertion, the first nut attached to the plate, and the second nut positioned at the base of the off-set wedge, the threaded screw comprising a shank with predefined threaded portions positioned to interact with the first nut and the second nut, such that rotational movement of the threaded screw generates a linear displacement of the off-set wedge relative to the upper stem portion, wherein an interaction between the tapered bottom surface of the upper stem portion and the tapered top surface of the off-set wedge induces a tilting motion of the off-set wedge, thereby securely holding the tumbler at the interior surface of the tumbler.
