This Nonprovisional Utility Patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §§ 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/635,567 filed Feb. 27, 2018, which is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses that may be attached to, and removed from various structures, and possess the ability to support a concave container.
BACKGROUND In the general sense, people are a mobile species and often move from one environment to another. This mobility is executed through various modes of transportation such as walking, riding a bicycle, riding in an automobile, traveling in a train, flying in a plane, or in other ways. The environments of these journeys, including the various places of departure, modes of transportation, and the destinations, may differ and often present structures of various size, construction, and utility. People often interact with many types of structures such as leaning on a park bench, sitting in an airplane seat, or using a public toilet. At various points in these sample environments a person may eat or drink from a concave container such as drinking a cup coffee. In the scenario of drinking a cup of coffee, there may be specific moments where it is deemed less desirable to hold the coffee in hand. For example, when a person attempts to answer a mobile phone while standing near a park bench and resorts to positioning the cup within a partial section of their hand, or while placing luggage in an overhead compartment in the boarding of a train or a plane. In the case of boarding a plane or train, the coffee is often balanced on a less than optimal surface, such as placing the cup on an uneven seat cushion, or on the floor. These examples present the risk of spilling the coffee as well as the potential of burning oneself
The current options for securely positioning a concave container so it does not have to be held in hand are often complex, restricting, cumbersome, large, or do not account for the various types of structures across many different environments, thus providing only a single solution. Therefor there is a need for an improved concave container holder that can securely support concave containers of various diameter, and be selectively appended to, and removed from, multiple types of structures such as a park bench, a seatback pocket on an airplane, and many others.
BRIEF SUMMARY Across various embodiments the Concave Container Holder solves or ameliorates, but shall not be limited to addressing, the deficiencies, and defects outlined in the previous section, “Background”, concerning concave container holders. One primary object of the Concave Container Holder invention is to provide people who often move from one environment to another the ability to append their concave container to various types of structures so they do not have to hold the container in their hand.
To achieve the aforementioned object, the Concave Container Holder apparatus includes three key components, an aperture circular in general shape that may receive a concave container, whereas the concave container rests partially extending through the aperture, a first fastening component that is hook-like in general shape and may receive a ledge or terminal point of a structure, and a second fastening component hook-like in general shape that is of different dimension of the first fastening component and contains the ability to receive a ledge or terminal point of a structure.
The features of the Concave Container Holder invention enable appending to many types of structures, for example some examples may include, but not be limited to, appending to a seatback pocket of an automobile, train, or airplane through a first fastening component hook-like in general shape that may slip securely over the top edge of the seatback pocket resulting in a tight, pinching-like connection. In the same illustrative embodiment, the second fastening component, may also be used to append over the top edge of a park bench, or the top edge of a desk drawer, allowing gravity and the connecting points of the hook-like fastening component to append to the ledge, and support a concave container. Other examples of structures that the invention may be affixed to may include the top edge certain types of open toilet tissue dispensers within public bathrooms, the edge of a wooden chair containing a flat board as a back rest, or a vertical rectangular ledge of a book shelf as well as many other types of structures.
A first exemplary embodiment of the Concave Container Holder may consist of an aperture circular in general shape, a top ledge traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture, an exterior sidewall traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture, a bottom ledge traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture adjacent to the sidewall, a first fastening component hook-like in general shape adjacent to the aperture and having the opening of the hook-like connecting component open in the general direction towards the plane of the top ledge of the aperture, a second fastening component hook-like in general shape adjacent to the first fastening component, whereas the second fastening component is open in the general direction towards the plane of the bottom ledge of the aperture, and is of different dimension of the first fastening component so that it may receive a structure of different dimension than that of the first fastening component.
A second exemplary embodiment of the Concave Container Holder may consist of an aperture circular in general shape, a top ledge traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture, an exterior sidewall traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture, a bottom ledge traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture adjacent to the sidewall, a first fastening component hook-like in general shape adjacent to the aperture and having the opening of the hook-like connecting component open in the general direction towards the plane of the bottom ledge of the aperture, a second fastening component hook-like in general shape adjacent to the first fastening component, whereas the second fastening component is open in the general direction towards the plane of the bottom ledge of the aperture, and is of different dimension of the first fastening component so that it may receive a structure of different dimension than that of the first fastening component.
A third exemplary embodiment of the Concave Container Holder may consist of an aperture circular in general shape, a top ledge traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture, an exterior sidewall traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture, a bottom ledge traveling at least a partial circumference of the aperture adjacent to the sidewall, a top wall adjacent to the top ledge containing two protruding exterior walls projecting downward away from the top wall at each of the terminal ends of the top wall, and a moveably connected third wall, projecting down away from the top wall which is located between the two exterior walls, and can adjust to create a first and second fastening component both hook-like in general shape, of different dimension.
