Horizontal platform and advertisement display apparatus and method of using same
A unique beverage holder is adapted to be mounted on a vertical wall surface, and includes a cantilevered beverage holder platform and an advertising display, preferably including a slot or other arrangement for receiving an advertising media and an outwardly facing window for viewing the advertisement. The device is preferably installed in bathrooms, and the like, such as above urinals to provide bathroom users with a place to set their beverage, and at the same time attracting attention to the advertisement while the user is captive. In one embodiment, the beverage holder is adapted to be reversibly mounted on a wall bracket such that the shelf unit may alternately be at the top or bottom of the device. The reversible beverage holder is preferably secured to the wall bracket by release tabs.
Magnetic Base Beverage Container
A method of making beverage container (such as a wineglass, a stemless wineglass, a beer mug or the like) having a magnet adhesively affixed to the bottom of the beverage container. The magnetic base beverage container can be used in combination with a metal strip to support the magnetic base beverage container by attraction of the magnet to the metal support. The method includes providing a base and a drinking glass, coupling at least one magnet to the base forming an assembly, and attaching the assembly to a bottom surface of the drinking glass. Attaching the assembly to a bottom surface of the drinking glass includes applying a waterproof adhesive to one or both of the assembly and the the the bottom surface of the drinking glass and applying sufficient pressure between the assembly and the drinking glass to spread the adhesive as a layer over at least part of an upper surface of the assembly.
Wine glass drying rack
Systems and methods of using a wine glass drying assembly. The wine glass drying rack assembly includes a tray with a bottom, sides, and a vertical lock. The wine glass drying rack assembly further includes a support with a locking element, stems and a top extending between the stems, where the support is coupled to the vertical lock via the locking element and where the support is rotatable about the vertical lock of the tray. The wine glass assembly also includes a rack with two wine glass supports, where the two wine glass supports define a slot for receiving wine glasses, where the rack is coupled to the top of the support via loops and where the rack is rotatable about the top of the support.
DISH RACK
A drying appliance may include a support frame, a planar drying rack and an absorbent tray. The support frame may include a first rectangular end and a second rectangular end, each of which may include a top rail, a bottom rail, a first side rail and a second side rail. Lower lateral rails and upper later rails may connect the first rectangular end to the second rectangular end. A planar drying rack may be disposed between the upper lateral rails and the lower lateral rails. An upper interior volume may be defined by a top surface of the planar drying rack, inner edges of the upper lateral rails and upper edges of the top rails of the first rectangular end and the second rectangular end. The planar drying rack may be free of upwardly extending projections within the upper interior volume.
Modular cup holder tray assembly
Disclosed herein is a modular cup holder tray assembly, which can include a tray and at least one handle operably coupled to the tray. The tray can include a base and sidewalls. The base can define a top surface and have more than one cup holder extending therethrough. The sidewalls can be substantially perpendicular to the base. At least two-tray coupling apertures can extend through a first sidewall. At least two-tray coupling protrusions can extend outward from a second sidewall, opposite the first sidewall. The at least two-tray coupling protrusions can be configured to engage the at least two-tray coupling apertures of a second tray. The at least one handle can have a first end removably coupled to a third sidewall and a second end removably coupled to a fourth sidewall, opposite the third sidewall.
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.
Beverage tray and retainer
The present invention broadly relates to trays, tables, and storage compartments capable of securely holding glasses and other containers for beverages and other liquids. For example, the trays, tables, and storage compartments may include a retainer portion with a retainer that is adapted to flex to receive a portion of a glass or other container for a beverage or other liquid. The flexing of the retainer also applies a gripping friction force to securely hold the glass or other container.
Dish rack
A drying appliance may include a support frame, a planar drying rack and an absorbent tray. The support frame may include a first rectangular end and a second rectangular end, each of which may include a top rail, a bottom rail, a first side rail and a second side rail. Lower lateral rails and upper later rails may connect the first rectangular end to the second rectangular end. A planar drying rack may be disposed between the upper lateral rails and the lower lateral rails. An upper interior volume may be defined by a top surface of the planar drying rack, inner edges of the upper lateral rails and upper edges of the top rails of the first rectangular end and the second rectangular end. The planar drying rack may be free of upwardly extending projections within the upper interior volume.
Tiered Beverage Pong Game System
A tiered beverage pong game system comprising a plurality of tiered platforms, each having at least one of a width and a length that is greater than any higher tiered platform and a plurality of beverage container placement markers located on the tiered platforms, each configured to seat a beverage container thereon, the beverage container placement markers comprising a plurality of colors indicating which direction a beverage container seated on beverage container placement marker is passed when a player bounces a ball into the corresponding beverage container. A top tiered platform comprises a single beverage container placement marker and each tiered platform comprises a greater number of beverage container placement markers than any higher tiered platform. Each side of each tiered platform comprises a different color along a vertical or horizontal side that corresponds with a color among the plurality of colors of the beverage container placement markers.
Container
Container for drinking glasses includes a foot, in particular for sparkling wine glasses, and a base body. The base body includes a bottom and first and second side walls extending substantially perpendicular to the bottom, retaining means for retaining the feet of the drinking glasses is associated with at least one side wall, and the retaining means is embodied and arranged such that in a transport position the drinking glasses are supported by the bottom and extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the container, and the bottom includes at least one folding line extending in the longitudinal direction of the bottom and the bottom is foldable along the at least one folding line such that in a presentation position the drinking glasses have a substantially upright position and are supported by the side walls.
