  • Patent number: 6247212
    Abstract: A device for retaining solids in a drinking glass comprising a clamp connected to a grid via a hinge. The clamp and grid are initially positioned flat but upon rotation of the hinge, the clamp and grid are positioned perpendicular to each other for use. The flat configuration makes manufacturing and shipping easier and less expensive. Upon rotation of the hinge, the clamp and grid are locked into the perpendicular position via interlocking elements on the clamp and grid. The grid prevents solids in the glass from traveling with the liquid as the glass is being tilted, thus eliminating spills and discomfort to the user.
