ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional beverage holder
1
a
, as indicated in
FIG. 15
, is comprised of a mounting plate
11
a
, a bottom mount
12
a,
two clip arms
13
a
, and a clip arm hinge rod
14
. In the mounting plate body
110
a
of the said conventional beverage holder
1
a,
since a plurality of holes
111
are formed in the plate body
110
a
and, furthermore, no other installation or mounting components are present at its rear surface (as shown in FIG.
16
), it is only possible to fasten it by screws for utilization to a vertical and flat surface in the interior of a room, the interior of a vehicle, or that of an appliance; or, following the placement of double-sided adhesive pads on the back surface of the said mounting plate body
110
a
, adhesively installed for utilization to a vertical and flat surfaced wall panel in the interior of a room, the interior of a vehicle, or that of an appliance; as this precludes installation for utilization on the tube or rods of appliances such as bicycles, wheel chairs, and infant carriages and, therefore, application is limited. Additionally, the bottom mount plate
121
of the said conventional beverage holder
1
a
is of a rudimentary arrangement and since no assistive clamping components are present on its two clip arms
13
a
, even though the said two clip arms
13
a
can be fully adjusted to a “maximum narrow and smallest” configuration, when a small nursing bottle or other bottle or can of beverage is therein situated, since the two clip arms
13
a
are incapable of securely clamping the said bottle or can of beverage and the periphery of the bottom mount
12
a
cannot support the bottom edges of the said bottle or can of beverage, wobbling and toppling readily occur, resulting in inconveniences during utilization. In view of this, the inventor of the invention herein conducted research and testing that culminated in the innovative development of the improved structure beverage holder of the invention herein.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The objective of the invention herein is to provide an improved structure beverage holder in which the mounting plate is not only capable of being screw fastened or adhesively installed for utilization to a vertical and flat surfaced wall panel in the interior of a room, the interior of a vehicle, or that of an appliance, but is also capable of being fastened and installed by means of a first or a second type of mounting frame at the back surface of the said mounting plate and, therefore, fixed and installed in an inclined or vertical state for utilization onto a tube or a rod of an appliance.
Another objective of the invention herein is to provide an improved structure beverage holder wherein when a bottle, a can, or other similar container of beverage is situated therein, the upper end or upper section of the said beverage containers is tightly clamped and, furthermore, their bottom sections are supported such that wobbling and toppling does not readily occur.
The brief description of the drawings below are followed by the detailed description of the invention.
