ABSTRACT:
A secure dish holder that easily and firmly attaches to tables and various other structures without relying on suction or adhesive. The secure dish holder is easily released by an adult, but securely holds a dish or another article so that it is not easily spilled or dislodged by a child, by wind, or by movement of the structure. The secure dish holder includes a top plate with a fastener for a dish on the topside. The top plate has slip-resistant padding on the underside that grips the surface to which the secure dish holder attaches. The secure dish holder includes a top plate with posts extending substantially perpendicularly from the underside of the top plate and a bottom plate with holes that slide snugly over the posts so the bottom plate slides along the posts. A compressible material is fixed to the topside of the bottom plate. When the end of the bottom plate nearest the holes is squeezed toward the top plate with a structure between the top plate and the bottom plate, the compressible material provides a force at the end of the bottom plate opposite the holes which cause the bottom plate to be at a non-normal angle with respect to the post and thus wedges the bottom plate against the posts and securely attaches the secure dish holder to the structure. The secure dish holder is easily detached from the table or structure by compressing the end of the bottom plate opposite the holes which allows the bottom plate to be disposed at a substantially normal angle with respect to the posts. With the bottom plate at a normal angle with respect to the posts, the force of the compressed compressible material causes the bottom plate to slide along the posts, away from the structure which releases the secure dish holder from the structure.
