ABSTRACT:
A vial holder has a handle portion adapted to be carried by a human hand and a friction mount for releasibly retaining a vial. The friction mount is fixedly coupled to the handle portion. The handle portion and friction mount are formed as first and second "C"-shaped members that are integrally connected back-to-back so that the first and second "C"-shaped members open in opposite directions. The "C"-shaped members are oriented perpendicularly to one another so that the vial, when positioned in the holder, is aligned approximately 90.degree. relative to the user'hand as it grasps the holder. A method for producing the vial holder is also described.
The method includes the steps of (a) providing a cross-shaped piece of material having opposing ends and opposing flanges; (b) folding the opposing ends in a first direction; (c) shaping the opposing ends about corresponding end axes to form a handle adapted to received fingers of a human hand; (d) folding the opposing flanges in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and (e) shaping the opposing flanges about a longitudinal axis to form a mount adapted to receive a vial.
