  • Patent number: 6766912
    Abstract: A secured receptacle holder having two-securing posts each with a clamping member and rib configuration. The posts are connected by a clamping screw that rotates clockwise to attach and counter clockwise to detach by a compression knob. Continued rotation clockwise causes the lower post to telescope into the main post while driving the clamping members toward one another. On other types of surfaces support is achieved by a pedestal base. The main post top has a rotator ring attached at its top end. One of the holders may include a support member, base support and support walls. The support walls and the base support are connected for holding the receptacles. Advantageously, one or more of the holders may be configured to hold one or more items or receptacles and the holders may have various sizes and configurations depending upon the number and type of items to be held or supported.

  • Patent number: 5842671
    Abstract: A secured receptacle holder having two securing posts each with a clamping member and rib configuration. The posts are connected by a clamping screw that rotates clockwise to attach and counter clockwise to detach by a compression knob. Continued rotation clockwise causes the lower post to telescope into the main post while driving the clamping members toward one another. On other types of surfaces support is achieved by a pedestal base. The main post top has a smaller diameter with a securing cap inserted into its top which keeps the support rotator in place. The support rotator has a thread stabilizer housing containing a thread insert stabilizer. Threaded into the thread insert stabilizer is a support lock that rotates clockwise to lock and counter clockwise to unlock. Sandwiched between the thread stabilizer housing and the support lock is a holder for a receptacle. The support lock allows the holder to remain level even on inclined surfaces.
