Abstract: A plate holder that attaches a dish to a structure using a suction device. The plate holder includes a three sided “C-shaped structure” that can be made of various hard materials and is composed of a top arm, a side arm, and a bottom arm. On the outer-end or the top arm is a notch or hole through which attaches a suction device facing upward that holds a dish so that it is not spilled by a child, handicapped person, wind, or movement of the structure. A circular protective skirt on the top arm sits just below the suction device and serves to balance the plate on the table. On the bottom arm is a hole through which runs a plastic screw with a handle on the outside used to secure and tighten the plate holder to the table. It can be adjusted for different structures by screwing or unscrewing.

Abstract: A plate holder that easily and firmly attaches to tables and various other structures and by the use of a suction device can hold most plates and bowls. The plate holder includes a three sided structure with right angles, or a squared “C-shaped structure”. The C-shaped structure can be made of hard, unbreakable plastic, wood, metal, or other materials. The C-shaped structure makes up a top arm, a side arm, and a bottom arm. On the top arm at the outer-end there is notch or hole through which attaches a suction device. The suction device is large enough to provide the necessary suction to hold on to most plates and bowls. The suction of the suction device is easily released by an adult, but securely holds a plate or another article so that it is not easily spilled or dislodged by a child, a handicapped person, by wind, or by movement of the structure.
