    Abstract: An apparatus for securing various sized drinking containers (cups, mugs, glasses etc.) thus helping to prevent the spilling of liquid drinks from various sized drinking containers onto a desk (or table) top or desk (or table) top protector surface area. The apparatus itself can be placed or even secured anywhere on the desk (or table) top or desk (or table) top protector surface area so that the drinking container can be placed for easy access.
