Support apparatus for holding and transporting beverage glasses, and method of using same
A beverage glass transport apparatus holds and transports multiple beverage glasses, each having a narrow base portion and a wider upper portion. The apparatus includes a unitary fork body with two spaced apart arms defining a slot therebetween, with an opening at one end of the fork body. Optionally, each arm may include an inner band and an outer band joined to the inner band. The inner bands have upper surfaces which cooperate to define a plane. Each of the outer bands extends in a direction away from the plane, which may be downwardly. The fork body also includes a bridge interconnecting the arms, the bridge disposed at an end of the fork body opposite the opening. The fork body also includes a handle attached to the bridge portion, for being grasped by a user to carry the apparatus. A method of using the apparatus to transport beverages is also described.
Ergonomic cup holder with enhanced stability and weight distribution
A cup holder storage apparatus with enhanced stability for securing a plurality of beverage storing cups is provided. The cup holder storage apparatus is designed to be supported by a user's thumb, index finger and radius bone in an arm. The apparatus includes a tray having a thumb hole in a central portion of the tray and a plurality of compartments, each compartment having an upper opening that receives one of the plurality of beverage storing cups, each compartment having a pair of arm members pivotably mounted to the upper opening of the compartment, and a pair of boomerang-shaped gutters coupled to each arm member and extending from a portion proximate the upper opening of the compartment to the bottom of the arm member.
Assembly kit for constructing a food or beverage wall
An assembly kit for constructing a food or beverage wall including a pair of vertically extending framing sections with pedestal base supports. A plurality of horizontally arrayed and tier defining shelves are assembled in extending fashion between the framing sections, the shelves adapted for supporting the food or beverage items. At least one stacked plurality of intermediate located and inter assemble-able vertical pole supports interconnect through aligning apertures configured in the individual shelves to provide reinforcing support. The stacked pole supports each including a narrowed upper diameter projecting portion frictionally engaged with an opposing underside pocket configured in a successively engaged pole support.
Cup holder assembly
A cup holder assembly includes a body that defines a cup-receiving cavity and an aperture that extends through a side wall of the body, a first bracing feature and a second bracing feature, each of which is coupled to the body and positioned outside of the cup-receiving cavity, and a retention finger. The retention finger includes a first portion that extends into the cup-receiving cavity through the aperture, a first engagement feature coupled to the first portion and pivotably engaged with the first bracing feature, and a second engagement feature coupled to the first portion and engaged with the second bracing feature. The retention finger is operable to move via pivotal movement of the first engagement feature relative to the first bracing feature.
Receptacle rack for stackable receptacles
A receptacle rack including a base providing a surface for abutting support for a retainer plate and a plurality of mounting receptacles; the retainer plate coupled to the base; the plurality of mounting receptacles integrally molded to the retainer plate; the retainer plate moveable from a first closed position parallel and proximal to the surface for abutting support to a second open position; a back panel extending from the base, the back panel substantially perpendicular relative to the surface for abutting support, an electronic display installed in the back panel.
Round serving tray and accessory system
A round serving tray and accessory system used to secure stemware. The serving tray and accessory system comprises an arcuate sleeve that has an inner and outer part, and a top, a bottom, a first and a second side. The top inner part of the sleeve defines an arcuate cavity wherein an innermost part of the sleeve is curved upward. The outer part of the sleeve defines an arcuate shoulder, the arcuate shoulder has a top, a bottom, a first and a second side, the bottom side of the arcuate shoulder defines and arcuate opening that linearly runs from the first side of the arcuate shoulder to the second side of the arcuate shoulder. And, a round serving tray that has a raised edge, the arcuate sleeve is mounted on the raised ledge of the serving tray via the arcuate opening so that the inner part of the sleeve rests on the round serving tray.
