  • Patent number: 5415447
    Abstract: The invention is a grip for holding a seasoning shaker. The grip is made from a strong and rigid material, such as steel or plastic. The grip includes a finger loop; a support ring surrounding the shaker; a rigid arm extending from the finger loop to the support ring; a retaining finger, whereby the shaker is retained within the support ring when dispensing seasoning; and a holding brace, which supports the shaker in a upright position and prevents the shaker from sliding out of the ring. Although the grip is made from a rigid material, the retaining finger is sufficiently flexible that it may be pushed aside to remove the shaker for cleaning or repair.
