Holster Beverage Holder
Patent Number: US 10610003 Grant Date: 2020-04-07 Filing Date: 2018-01-31
Overview
This patent describes a belt‑mounted beverage holder with a modular clipping assembly and an integrated handle that combines containment, tool functionality, and flexible mounting. Filed on January 31, 2018 and granted on April 7, 2020, the application—prosecuted for inventors and the applicant based in Bushland, TX—protects a beverage containment having aligned upper and lower rims to restrain lateral movement, plus a handle incorporating both a bottle opener and a pry tab. The novel clipping assembly separates into a button clip adapter and a belt clip: a C‑shaped clamp secures to the upper rim while a button‑and‑holster interface provides a gravity‑assisted, rotatable attachment that accommodates left‑ or right‑handed configurations.
Our drafting captured the mechanical interplay between clip geometry, rotating axis, and multi‑position mounting to emphasize user ergonomics and manufacturability. The claims focus on the adapter/holster engagement, the rotating axis, and integrated utility features—elements that collectively strengthen enforceability and commercial value for consumer accessory manufacturers.
Key Features
- Modular button clip adapter with C‑shaped clamp for secure attachment to the upper rim
- Holster and button interface enabling a rotating attachment axis
- Dual clip positions for left/right handed use
- Handle with bottle opener and pry tab integrated
- Base and upper retainer geometry to prevent horizontal movement
This protection supports product differentiation in hands‑free beverage accessories and has clear relevance for outdoor workwear, recreational gear, and consumer goods manufacturers seeking robust, user‑centric mechanical solutions.
Invention Details
Abstract: A beverage holder for holding a beverage and selectively attaching to a belt of an user. Said beverage holder comprising a beverage containment, and a clipping assembly. Said beverage holder is configured to selectively hold said beverage. Said clipping assembly is configured to selectively attach to said belt of said user.
Summary of the Invention: A beverage holder for holding a beverage and selectively attaching to a belt of a user. Said beverage holder comprising a beverage containment, and a clipping assembly. Said beverage holder is configured to selectively hold said beverage. Said clipping assembly is configured to selectively attach to said belt of said user.
A beverage holder for holding a beverage and selectively attaching to a belt of a user. Said beverage holder comprising a beverage containment, and a clipping assembly. Said beverage holder is configured to selectively hold said beverage. Said clipping assembly is configured to selectively attach to said belt of said user. Said clipping assembly comprises a belt clip and a button clip adapter. Said belt clip selectively attaches to said button clip adapter by selectively inserting a portion of said button clip adapter into said belt clip and selectively holding a portion of said button clip adapter within said belt clip. Said belt clip comprises a holster and a clip. Said button clip adapter comprises a button and a clip. Said holster is configured to selectively receive said button of said button clip adapter. Said clip is configured to selectively attach to a portion of said beverage containment. Said button is held within said holster of said belt clip. Said clip is configured to selectively attach to said belt of said beverage holder. Thus, said belt clip selectively attaches to said belt, said button clip adapter selectively attaches to said beverage containment, and said beverage containment selectively holds said beverage. Said button clip adapter and said belt clip comprise a rotating axis. Said button clip adapter and said belt clip selectively rotate along said rotating axis by allowing a portion of said button clip adapter to rest within a portion of said belt clip, and rotating said belt clip and said button clip adapter along an axis of those parts which are attached to one another.
