Abstract: A collapsible beverage holder for a beverage container is formed from a substantially rigid paperboard sheet having a rectangular body portion having opposite lateral side edges. The rectangular body portion is provided with several longitudinal creases which divide the rectangular body portion into panels so that the panels can be folded relative to each other. By joining the lateral ends of the body portion together, a sleeve can be formed from the rectangular body portion. A bottom portion is provided with the beverage holder by providing an extended portion of the paperboard sheet which extends from a lower end of the rectangular body portion. The bottom portion is provided with a transverse crease dividing the bottom portion into rigid sections which are foldable relative to each other along the transverse crease. The bottom portion has a free end which is joined to a lower edge of the sleeve.

Abstract: A clasp is provided for gripping a towel, having a base with a planar surface, and a locking member pivotally carried by the base. The locking member has a gripping edge separated from the base by a clearance, and a handle movable relative to the base through an arc for adjusting the clearance between the base and the locking member. The clearance is maximized in a loading position with the handle at a first region along the arc allowing a small potion of the towel to be inserted between the planar surface of the base and the locking member. The clearance between the planar surface of the base and the gripping edge of the locking member is minimized in a clasping position with the handle in a second region along the arc for securing the towel between the gripping edge of the locking member and the planar surface of the base to prevent removal of the towel.
