Abstract: A spill-proof carrier for open-topped beverage containers includes one or more carrier members for carrying one or more open-topped beverage containers. The carrier also has one or more rigid support member having upper and lower end portions, which are connected transversely to a generally peripheral portion of the one or more carrier members. The upper end portion is disposed substantially over the axis of gravitational acceleration of the one or more carrier members. The carrier also has a handle for the one or more rigid support members attached to the upper end portion thereof by means of a joint arrangement incapable of supporting a moment of inertia thereat.

Abstract: A refrigerator door-mounted beverage dispenser device for use with bottled beverages, to control beverage flow during dispensing from a bottle. The device comprises a generally cylindrical housing engaging the mouth of the bottle, an operating lever pivotably attached to the housing and movable between upper and lower positions, a self-closing flow valve, and a valve actuator operable with the operating lever to open the flow valve by applying pressure thereto while it is in either of the upper and lower positions, to enable controlled beverage flow. In a preferred embodiment, the beverage dispenser device itself is threaded onto the beverage bottle, sealing it closed. A retractable lever is arranged to displace a ball valve and enable liquid beverage flow into a cup.
