A rotary closed-valve type vacuum suction device is mounted to a bottom of an object, and has a valve assembly, a sucker, and a valve part. The valve assembly has a top valve seat and a bottom valve seat mounted below the top valve seat. The sucker is mounted to a bottom of the valve assembly. The valve part is inserted through a valve hole of the sucker and the bottom valve seat, and is connected to the top valve seat. When one of the top valve seat and the bottom valve seat is rotated to change the relative position between the bottom valve seat and the top valve seat in a height direction of the valve assembly, the valve part switches the valve hole of the sucker between an open state and a closed state.

This present invention relates a beverage container carrier comprising a cylindrical vessel receiver for receiving a beverage container, one or more of a tension tab, and one or more of a tension fin. When a beverage container is inserted into the cylindrical vessel receiver it contacts the tension fin. The tension fin and tension tab flex outward creating space within the cylindrical vessel receiver for the beverage container and applying retaining pressure to the beverage container holding it securely within the cylindrical vessel receiver. In exemplary embodiments, the beverage container carrier further comprises a handle slot proximate to the open-top rim for receiving the beverage container handle, and an attachment panel having concealed magnet retention slots. One or more magnets are secured in each of the magnet retention slots and orientated such that the magnets secure the beverage container carrier to ferrous metal objects.

The invention is an insulated self-righting cup holder. It is not simply just a gyroscopic cup holder. This is a new application of the concept of using a gyroscope to hold an open beverage using a self-contained, insulated container formed by a fabric cover mounted to a wide, stable, non-slip base. The invention does not require physical mounting or connection to a fixed object or surface. It can be placed on any surface inclined up to fifteen degrees from the horizontal. A full sixteen-ounce open beverage can be held by the invention while the invention is sitting on that surface without fear that it will topple over and spill the beverage . . . making it ideal for camping or other outdoor activities. The fabric cover can be printed with any design. The invention is lightweight, portable, and reusable.

A container stability mounting apparatus allows a user attach or detach a beverage container such as thermal foil flasks to various surfaces or objects such as, but not limited to, outdoor equipment. The container stability mounting apparatus includes an anchoring base, a connector sleeve, a first attachment mechanism, and a second attachment mechanism. The anchoring base is a structural support that can be mounted to various surfaces or objects through the second attachment mechanism. The connector sleeve can receive a beverage container and can be attached to the anchoring base through the first attachment mechanism. With a beverage container situated within the connector sleeve, a user can attach or detach the beverage container to various surfaces or objects through the anchoring base.

The invention relates to an assembly (150) for anchoring a vessel (100) to a reference surface (102). The assembly (150) comprises a sealing element holder (106) for coupling to a vessel (100) and a sealing element (104) coupled to the sealing element holder (106), wherein a portion of the sealing element (104) is moveable relative to the sealing element holder (106). A base member (108) is located proximate to the sealing element holder (106) in use and a diaphragm element (112) is coupled to the base member (108) for engagement with a reference surface (102). The base member (108) comprises upper (142) and lower surfaces (144), including a sealing surface (110) on the upper surface (144) and a channel (140) extending from the upper surface (144) to the lower surface (142). The sealing element holder (106) is moveable relative to the base member (108) between first and second positions and the assembly is configured such that when the diaphragm element (112) is engaged with the reference surface (102) and the sealing element holder (106) is in the first position the sealing element (104) will engage with the sealing surface (110) thereby forming a sealed space between the reference surface (102) and the sealing element (104) to anchor the assembly (150) to the reference surface (102), and the assembly is configured such that when the sealing element holder (106) is in the second position the diaphragm (112) is removable from the reference surface (102).

A clamp mechanism includes a clamp configured to receive an associated support structure, a connecting assembly attached to the clamp, and a mount assembly configured to secure an apparatus to the clamp. The connecting assembly includes an engagement member selectively movably into engagement with the associated support structure for securing the associated support structure within the clamp. The mount assembly includes a first mount connected the clamp and a second mount connected to the apparatus and adapted to be rotationally indexed relative to the first mount to secure the apparatus in at least two positions relative to the clamp.

A quick-release anchoring apparatus includes an anchor member having a flexible base seal member that engages an external reference surface and forms a substantially airtight seal therewith to define a controlled pressure zone. The anchor member includes a central stem extending through an opening of the first auxiliary component. A mounting portion of the stem rigidly self-mounts the anchor member to the first auxiliary component opening. A vent port extends through the anchor member. A vent port upper end is centered within a stem landing zone on the stem upper end. A second auxiliary component is slidably mounted to the first auxiliary component and moves between a vent port closure position wherein the second auxiliary component engages the stem landing zone and blocks the vent port, a vent port open position wherein the second auxiliary component is out of engagement with the stem landing zone and unblocks the vent port.

In some embodiments, a beverage holder includes a beverage receptacle, an accessory receptacle, and a shaft. The beverage receptacle defines a cylindrical volume and includes a flat base for supporting a beverage container, the flat base having a circular shape with a first diameter; a first arm having a second diameter and at least partially encircling the cylindrical volume; and a spine connecting the base and the arm. The accessory receptacle defines a rectangular volume and is connected to the base and to the first arm of the beverage receptacle. The shaft includes a first section connected to the base, and a second section with a pointed end for securing the beverage holder into the ground where the first and second sections are connectable by a threaded section.

A mobile beverage holder assembly is structured for use with a piece of luggage and/or a seat back pocket to support at least one beverage container in an upright position. A mobile beverage holder assembly includes a mounting unit having a mounting member with a mounting aperture formed there through, wherein the mounting aperture is dimensioned for mounting over a handle of the piece of luggage. The mobile beverage holder assembly also includes a beverage holder unit directly interconnected to the mounting unit. The beverage holder unit comprises one or more beverage holders, each of which are dimensioned to receive and support at least one beverage container in an upright, operative orientation.
