Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 193 words
A support for a single beverage container, comprising a base member sized to receive only the beverage container and having a substantially planar underside, activatible adhesive means on the underside of the base by which the base can be attached to a surface, and four support members upstanding from an upper side of the base for engaging and supporting sides of the container, the members being free to flex outwardly so as to accommodate containers of different outside dimensions, said members being formed by a single wire which is bent to form each of the members in turn with an interconnection between each member and the next adjacent member only at the base, each member comprising a loop of said wire defining two lower ends projecting into a peripheral edge surface of said base in a substantially horizontal direction, two generally upstanding legs and a transverse interconnecting portion at an upper end, said legs being shaped such that each turns from said horizontal lower end in an upward and inward direction to a position of closest approach of said members and then turned in an outward and upward direction to said interconnecting portion.
