Accessory holder and associated bottle for bicycles

A bottle and bottle holder for mounting on a bicycle comprising:

• a bottle comprising:
• a frustoconical base section;
• a generally cylindrical center section having a diameter;
• a collar section having a mouth allowing replacement or removal of liquids or ice;
• and
• engaging means defined in the center section of a size to releasably and securely retain a first and second generally arcuately shaped pincer;
• a holder comprising:
• an elongated base member adapted to be mounted to a bicycle frame, the elongated base member having a first end and a second end;
• a bottle supporting member extending generally normal tot he plane of the elongated base member adapted to conformingly engage the frustoconical base section of the bottle and attached to the base member by a first arm extending obliquely from the first end of the base member;
• a bottle enclosing structure extending generally upwardly from the bottle supporting member in a direction parallel to the elongated base ember;
• a first generally arcuately shaped resilient pincer connected to the elongated base member having ends extending from the elongated base member toward the bottle enclosing structure;
• and
• a second generally arcuately shaped resilient pincer connected to the bottle enclosing structure having ends extending from the bottle enclosing structure toward the ends of the first generally arcuately shaped resilient pincer;
• said first pincer and said second pincer forming an enclosure, the ends of said first and second pincers being generally opposed and spaced,
• whereby insertion of the frustoconical base section between the pincers will spread the pincers apart by camming action so the engaging means in combination with said first and second pincers securely lock the bottle to the holder;
• and
• whereby the bottle may be release by pivoting the bottle between the pincers, spreading the pincers to release the pincers from the engaging means.
