An apparatus for securing one or more items of stemware includes a base plate, one or more posts, a retainer, and one or more feet. The feet and base plate cooperatively secure the base portion of the item of stemware, and the retainer includes arms defining a stem receiving space that secures the stem of the item of stemware. The feet are coupled to the arms. The arms are flexible so as to accommodate different sizes of stems and bases in stemware with a single rack.

A beverage drinking device includes a body that supports a plurality of containers arranged relative to each other such that a liquid from a first one of the containers flows into an adjacent, second one of the containers while an individual consumes liquid from the second one of the containers.

A portable caddy for disposable tableware comprising: one or more multipurpose platforms for placing tableware, a plurality of concentric vertical legs, with provision for attaching multiple holders for accessories such as bowls, cups, spoons, forks, knives, napkins, stirrers, etc. Furthermore, the caddy may be assembled in table-top mode or in free-standing floor mode with the help of extender leg attachments. The extender legs have provision for attaching one or two or more plastic bags or baskets for separately collecting organic waste or recyclable materials. Platforms may be designed strong enough to hold heavier objects so that the caddy functions as a multipurpose stand.

A beverage container holding assembly includes a housing that has a bottom wall and a perimeter wall attached to and extending upwardly from the bottom wall. The housing has an upper end having a well extending therein. The well receives a beverage container and retain the beverage container in an upright position. A coupler is mounted on housing and engages a shaft. The coupler is rotatable relative to the housing such that the coupler is engageable with a vertically or horizontally orientated shaft.

A cup carrier formed from a flexible sheet of material includes a base portion connected to a handle portion. Each of one or more cup-holding portions formed in the base portion includes a cup-holding aperture. The base portion includes one or more base fasteners that are mated to one or more base fasteners of another cup carrier. The handle portion includes one or more handle fasteners that are mated to one or more handle fasteners of another cup carrier.

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.

An apparatus including a touchless utensil used to serve drinks is provided. The apparatus includes the touchless utensil operable to enable a user to move a drinking glass without the user touching the drinking glass. The touchless utensil includes an elongated handle portion and an engaging portion attached to the elongated handle portion and including a C-shaped gripper including a major arc spanning more than 180 degrees. The elongated handle portion and the engaging portion are coplanar.

A stemware restraining device that rests upon a surface and comprises a body with a top surface, bottom surface, a thickness, and a combination stem clearance slot (20,25,30,31) and underside cavity (21,27). Stemware can be slid into the slot cavity combination trapping said stemware's base while allowing the stem to pass vertically upward. The device does not necessarily contact the stemware until said stemware tips due to an external force. When this occurs the base of the stemware comes into contact with the underside cavity of said device and is restrained due to the resistive tipping moment of the device. The resistive tipping moment is provided either by the weight and width of said device or by its mechanical or magnetic attachment to said surface. The slot and cavity combination in general reflects the profile shape of the base and stem of a piece of stemware.

A urinal bottle holding apparatus includes a mounting hook, a urinal bottle holder, and an attachment mechanism so that a urinal bottle can be safely secured adjacent to a patient. The urinal bottle holder includes a rectangular base, an opening, and a support wall. The opening concentrically traverses through the rectangular base so that the urinal bottle can be inserted and secured. The support wall is terminally connected to a bottom edge of the rectangular base thus delineating a stronger platform to integrate a plurality of holder fastening features of the attachment mechanism. The mounting hook is integrated with a plurality of hook fastening features as the mounting hook is frictionally attached to rectangular base and the support wall through the attachment mechanism.
