ABSTRACT:
A beverage container holder provides for the holding of a champagne bucket or other similarly configured container, cantilevered from the edge of a table or other platform. The device thus does not require any space on the table, and further does not require a relatively costly and space consuming floor stand for the support of a champagne bucket or the like. The holder generally comprises a round ring adapted to hold a tapered cylindrical bucket or container therein, with a smoothly curved support leg extending therefrom and secured to the ring at a single point. The lower end of the support leg includes a single lower contact point, while the upper end of the leg includes a transverse member extending thereacross, in an approximate T configuration. The opposite ends of the transverse member form two upper contact points, with the single lower and two upper contact points defining a stable three point attachment for the holder. The device may be formed of round wire or rod, and may be plated in precious metals or otherwise as desired for corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance. Decorative patterns may be provided to enhance the appearance further, and to conceal joint reinforcements used to form a sturdy structure. The ends of the contact points may include pads thereon to preclude marring the surface to which the holder is attached.
