Abstract

A beverage holder configured for selectively holding a beverage is disclosed. Said beverage holder comprising a beverage containment comprising a base portion, an upper retainer portion and a handle portion. Said base portion and said upper retainer portion comprise a round sidewall having an internal diameter being larger than an external diameter of a beverage. Said base portion comprises a bottom surface configured to receive and hold a bottom portion of said beverage. Said upper retainer portion and said base portion are aligned along a vertical axis such that when said beverage is held within said beverage containment it is held upright along said vertical axis. Said upper retainer portion and said base portion are connected to one another with said handle portion. Said handle portion extends outward away from said vertical axis so as to enable a user to grip said beverage holder with said handle portion.

Claims (71)

1. A beverage holder configured for selectively holding a beverage comprising:

said beverage holder comprising a beverage containment;

said beverage containment comprises a base portion, an upper retainer portion and a handle portion;

said base portion and said upper retainer portion comprise a round sidewall having an internal diameter being larger than an external diameter of a beverage;

said base portion comprises a bottom surface configured to receive and hold a bottom portion of said beverage;

said upper retainer portion and said base portion are aligned along a vertical axis such that when said beverage is held within said beverage containment it is held upright along said vertical axis;

said upper retainer portion and said base portion are connected to one another with said handle portion;

said handle portion extends outward away from said vertical axis so as to enable a user to grip said beverage holder with said handle portion;

said beverage holder further comprises a clip button and a clip;

said clip button is attached at an exterior wall of said upper retainer portion;

said clip button selectively attaches to said clip;

said clip is configured to selectively attach to an object and allows said beverage holder to selectively attach to said object;

said beverage holder is configured to pivot on said clip button with said clip while attached to a user with said clip;

said clip comprises a belt clip configured to selectively attach to a belt of a user and thereby selectively hold said beverage holder to said belt of said user;

said round sidewall of said upper retainer portion wraps completely around an upper portion of said beverage; and

said round sidewall prevents said beverage from slipping out of said beverage holder at an angle perpendicular to said vertical axis; said beverage containment further comprises a twist-off socket; said twist-off socket is round-shaped and comprises a substantially similar internal diameter to an external diameter of a cap of said beverage; and said twist-off socket is configured to receive and remove a cap from said beverages by: inserting a portion of said cap into said twist-off socket, turning said beverage around said vertical axis so as to loosen said cap from said beverage, preventing said cap from turning with said beverage, and removing said cap from said beverage; said twist-off socket comprises a plurality of cap teeth arranged around said internal diameter of said twist-off socket; said base portion further comprises a drain aperture configured to drain a fluids from within said beverage containment; said drain aperture is arranged about said vertical axis to ensure that said fluids are drained at a central location within said beverage containment; and said twist-off socket is located around the perimeter of said drain aperture in said base of said beverage holder.

2. The beverage holder of claim 1 wherein:

said handle portion comprises a “C” shape with a first end and second end;

said first end is attached to said upper retainer portion; and

said second end is attached to said base portion.

3. The beverage holder of claim 1 wherein:

said base portion further comprises a drain aperture configured to drain a fluids from within said beverage containment.

4. The beverage holder of claim 3 wherein:

said drain aperture is arranged about said vertical axis to ensure that said fluids are drained at a central location within said beverage containment.

5. The beverage holder of claim 1 wherein:

said beverage holder comprises a one or more magnets configured to selectively attach

said beverage holder to a ferromagnetic surface.

6. The beverage holder of claim 1 wherein:

said beverage holder further comprises a pry plate;

said pry plate is located in a lower portion of said beverage containment; and

said pry plate is configured to receive a portion of a cap or a can tab of said beverage and enable a user to pry open said beverage.

7. The beverage holder of claim 6 wherein:

said pry plate is attached below said handle portion.

8. A beverage holder configured for selectively holding a beverage comprising:

said beverage holder is configured to selectively hold a beverage;

said beverage holder further comprises a twist-off socket;

said twist-off socket is round-shaped and comprises an internal diameter being substantially similar to an external diameter of a cap of said beverage; and

said twist-off socket is configured to receive and remove a cap from said beverages by:

inserting a portion of said cap into said twist-off socket,

turning said beverage around a vertical axis so as to loosen said cap from said beverage,

preventing said cap from turning with said beverage,

removing said cap from said beverage;

said twist-off socket comprises a plurality of cap teeth being arranged around said internal diameter of said twist-off socket;

said twist-off socket further comprises a raised lower rim configured to surround said cap and press a portion of said plurality of cap teeth into said cap;

said twist-off socket is embedded into a bottom surface of said beverage holder; and

said beverage holder further comprises a drain aperture in a bottom surface;

said beverage holder holds a portion of said beverage on said bottom surface;

said twist-off socket comprises a lower portion of said drain aperture.

9. The beverage holder of claim 8 wherein:

said twist-off socket further comprises a grab being magnetic so as to hold said cap once said beverage is detached from said cap;

said base portion further comprises a drain aperture configured to drain a fluids from within said beverage containment;

said drain aperture is arranged about said vertical axis to ensure that said fluids are drained at a central location within said beverage containment; and

said twist-off socket is located around the perimeter of said drain aperture in said base of said beverage holder.

10. A beverage holder configured for selectively holding a beverage comprising:

said beverage holder comprising a beverage containment;

said beverage holder comprises a two or more magnets configured to selectively attach said beverage holder to a ferromagnetic surface;

said two or more magnets comprise a first magnet and a second magnet;

said beverage containment comprises a first magnet aperture and a second magnet aperture;

said first magnet is embedded into said first magnet aperture;

said second magnet is embedded into said second magnet aperture;

said beverage containment comprises a base portion, an upper retainer portion and a handle portion;
