    Abstract: A removably mountable tray support device for attachment of a tray to articles of furniture, especially those having upholstery or substantial padding. The device has a clamping assembly with a generally C-shaped frame and has a means for manually securing the device to a portion of upholstered furniture. A bracket attached to the frame extends outwardly therefrom preferably in a horizontal orientation to receive alone, or in combination, a tray or similar item to provide a temporary table surface. Posts may be provided to support the bracket and thereby increase the stability of the surface.

  • Patent number: 6325237
    Abstract: A bottle holder to attach gloves such as mittens to a bottle for helping babies or those with disabilities to hold and use the bottle. The bottle holder attaches at least one glove to the outside of a bottle to hold the bottle in place relative to the wearer of the glove. The gloves may be attached to a central flexible band which is stretched around the outside of the bottle, or may be connected individually by adhesive or other fastening means. The device reduces the gripping force needed to hold a bottle and is therefore suited to infants and invalids who may not be able to sustain the strength needed to hold the bottle.
