Abstract
A spill-resistant carrying apparatus includes a platform having a top surface and a bottom surface supported on legs. The platform includes one or more cavities which each have a set of female threads disposed into the bottom surface, and a set of male threads disposed into and extending from the top surface. In one embodiment, the male threads are oriented substantially adjacent to the female threads. The platform may further be configured with a lip disposed along a periphery of the platform and extending to a height greater than a height of the top surface.
Claims16
A spill-resistant carrying apparatus comprising:
- a substantially planar surface having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the substantially planar surface is supported by a plurality of legs at a first height;
- a lip disposed along a circumference of the top surface and extending to a second height that is greater than the first height;
- and
- a first and second cavity disposed along the substantially planar surface, wherein each of the first and second cavities include:
- a set of internal threads extending into the bottom surface and configured to receive a threaded container opening, and
- a set of external threads extending from the top surface, adjacent to the set of internal threads, and configured to receive a threaded lid,
- wherein the substantially planar surface further includes a spill guard disposed on the top surface of the substantially planar surface, and oriented between the first cavity and the second cavity, said spill guard to extend from the top surface to a height greater than the first height.
An apparatus for containing liquid spills comprising:
- a platform having a top surface and a bottom surface and being supported on a plurality of legs at a first height, wherein the platform includes a first and second cavity each having a set of female threads disposed into the bottom surface, and a set of male threads disposed into and extending from the top surface, said set of male threads being oriented substantially adjacent to the set of female threads;
- and
- a lip disposed along a periphery of the platform and extending to a second height greater than the first height,
- wherein the platform further includes a spill guard disposed on the top surface between the first cavity and the second cavity, and extending from the top surface to a height greater than the first height.
