Abstract
A condiment dispenser holder including an elongated stem, a base section, a body section, and a support tab section is provided. The base section extends curvedly from an upper end of the elongated stem and supports an undersurface of a condiment dispenser. The body section extends from the base section in a geometrical configuration, for example, a cylindrical helically coiled configuration. The body section in the geometrical configuration firmly accommodates the condiment dispenser within a space defined within the body section. The support tab section extends from an upper end of the body section and secures the condiment dispenser within the body section. The support tab section precludes displacement of the condiment dispenser from the body section. Multiple condiment dispenser holders accommodating multiple condiment dispensers may be arranged in a vase with other decorative elements, for example, flowers, fruits, etc., in multiple configurations to create different decorative arrangements of condiments.

FIG. 1 exemplarily illustrates a front perspective view of acondiment dispenser holder 100. Thecondiment dispenser holder 100 disclosed herein comprises anelongated stem 101, abase section 102, abody section 103, and asupport tab section 104. Thebase section 102 extends curvedly from anupper end 101 a of theelongated stem 101. Thebase section 102 is configured to support anundersurface 201 a of acondiment dispenser 201 as exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 2A-2E . Theupper end 101 a of theelongated stem 101 curves under thecondiment dispenser 201 to support thecondiment dispenser 201. The length of theelongated stem 101 is, for example, about 15 centimeters (cm) to about 30 cm. - The
body section 103 of thecondiment dispenser holder 100 extends from thebase section 102 in a geometrical configuration that conforms to a shape of thecondiment dispenser 201. In an embodiment as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 1 andFIGS. 2A-2F , thebody section 103 of thecondiment dispenser holder 100 has a cylindrical helically coiled configuration that conforms to a cylindricallyshaped condiment dispenser 201. The cylindrical helically coiled configuration is substantially similar, for example, to that of a spring. Although the detailed description refers to abody section 103 with a cylindrical helically coiled configuration, the scope of thecondiment dispenser holder 100 disclosed herein is not limited to abody section 103 with a cylindrical helically coiled configuration but may be extended to include abody section 103 that conforms to any shape of anycondiment dispenser 201, for example, a cubic shaped condiment dispenser, a cuboidal shaped condiment dispenser, etc. - The length of the
body section 103 is, for example, about 7.5 cm to about 9.75 cm from thebase section 102 to theupper end 103 b of thebody section 103. The length betweenconsecutive coils 103 c of the cylindrical helically coiledbody section 103 is, for example, about 1.83 cm to about 3.25 cm. The length of the leadingedge 103 d of thebody section 103 that terminates at theupper end 103 b of thebody section 103 is, for example, about 1.5 cm to about 2.75 cm. Thebody section 103 defines ahollow space 103 a within the geometrical configuration of thebody section 103. Thebody section 103 in the geometrical configuration is configured to firmly accommodate thecondiment dispenser 201 within thespace 103 a defined within thebody section 103. - The
support tab section 104 of thecondiment dispenser holder 100 extends from theupper end 103 b of thebody section 103. Thesupport tab section 104 extends downwardly from theupper end 103 b of thebody section 103 as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 1 andFIGS. 2A-2D , to avoid snagging of thecondiment dispenser holder 100. Thesupport tab section 104 is configured to secure the accommodatedcondiment dispenser 201 within thedefined space 103 a within thebody section 103 and preclude displacement of the accommodatedcondiment dispenser 201 from thebody section 103. The length of thesupport tab section 104 is, for example, about 1.3 cm to about 1.75 cm from theupper end 103 b of thebody section 103. Examples of materials used for manufacturing thecondiment dispenser holder 100 comprise steel, aluminum, etc. The material of thecondiment dispenser holder 100 is configured in the form of a wire having a thickness of, for example, about 1.5 mm to about 2.75 mm The wire is molded to create theelongated stem 101, thebase section 102, thebody section 103, and thesupport tab section 104 of thecondiment dispenser holder 100. -
