Definitions

  • Figure 4 shows a sectional view of a second embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 5 shows a perspective view of a third embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 7 shows a front view of the third embodiment of the invention.
  • a receptacle 24 is operatively connected to the holding means 12 and plate gripping means 14 such that, when a glass 26 is received in the receptacle, the weight of the gripped plate 20 and its contents is at least partially balanced by the weight of the glass and its contents.
  • the receptacle 24 has a base 28 on which a range of glasses, including stemless glasses such as the illustrated tumbler 26, can be supported.
  • a plate-gripping member 122 is attached to the receptacle 118.
  • the operating principle of the plate-gripping member 122 is the same as that of the previously described embodiments.
  • Figure 6 shows an edge portion of a plate 124 gripped by the plate-gripping member 122 and the base 112. The weight of the plate 124 creates a moment which causes it to pivot on the base 112. In reaction to this moment the edge portion is biased in an upward direction against the underside of the plate gripping member 122 thereby holding the plate in a gripped position.
  • the distance between the ribs 128 will be sized to accommodate a wide range of plates. This will allow some movement of the plate edge 130 between the ribs 128. The movement will however be limited and the edge portion of the plate 124 will remain biased against the plate- gripping member 122.
  • the plate holder 110 could be held by the user is by locating the thumb of one hand on top of the base 112 in the region 158 indicated on Figure 6. The user's other fingers are then located at the bottom of the base 112. With this grip there is a fairly good balance between the weight of the plate and the weight of the glass, but it will be understood that the actual degree of balance will also heavily depend on things such as the design and weight of the plate and glass as well as the contents of the plate and cup.
  • the base 112 can be held in various different ways, at the discretion of the user, to achieve the best possible balance or degree of comfort.
  • the base 112, receptacle 118 and the plate-gripping member 122 of the embodiment can be formed by moulding a thermoplastic polymer into the illustrated components for assembly of the holder 110.
  • a thermoplastic polymer A wide range of material may however be used to manufacture the components. It would be appreciated that the plate holder 118 could also be moulded as a unit.
