  • Patent number: 9603474
    Abstract: A beverage cup holder with a handle constructed from a thin, elongated strip of material. The general shape can be described as having: tabs that extend from the strip along the top and bottom portions of the longitudinal edges to serve as securing flaps; and one cutout on either end of the strip provide an open space that can be utilized as a handle. The strip is wrapped around a cup and joined at the tabs, which are folded down and secured. The cup holder with a handle that is subsequently formed can be placed around a cup with a close fit, and held by the handle. These products are easy to hold. The handle is such that it separates the cup from direct contact with the user, leaving the user unaffected by the temperature, and provides a clear view of printed decoration.
