  • Patent number: 6227510
    Abstract: A holder for a hand-size container for use in conjunction with a portable chair. The holder comprises an integral body portion and a clamping means for attaching the holder to the portable chair. The integral body portion consists of an annular band having an inside diameter sized to receive a hand-held container, first and second arcuate legs, and a horizontal double-beam-flange member which cooperate to securely and removably hold and support a container placed within the annular band. The annular band may include a discontinuity to accommodate the passage through the annular band of a protruding part of the container, for example, a cup handle. The clamping means is affixed to an end of the horizontal double-beam-flange member so as to provide a means for removably attaching the holder to a portable chair.
