Publication number: 20040238578Abstract: A beverage bottle clothing clip for attaching a plastic bottle container to a person's belt, pants pocket or waistband; being particularly purposed for cost effective mass production and disposable use. Two apertures; one primary and gripping aperture, and one secondary aperture, and a connecting slit are located at one end of an elongate, flexible, planar plastic substrate; with a locking bend formed perpendicularly to and within the immediate area of said slit and secondary aperture. Said primary gripping aperture of said bent flexible substrate is controllably sizeable for easy application to, and removal from the underside of a bottleneck cap stop rim. As the user straightens the bent clip by hand, the directionally planar axis of said gripping aperture begins to merge with that of said slit and secondary aperture, wherein both apertures and connecting slit combine to form an aperture larger than said primary aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2004Publication date: December 2, 2004Inventors: Samuel James Wagenknecht, Terry Lee Wagenknecht, Charles Maxwell Wagenknecht
