Bottle or utility holder

Abstract

A bottle or utility holder for the supported transportation of a plastic beverage bottle or utility device by the user or for the support from a stationary member that is easy to manufacture and use, low in cost and is comprised of a o-ring with a pull tab ( 1 ), a fastener ( 2 ) for attaching the o-ring with pull-tab to a support member e.g. a belt ( 3 a ), belt loop ( 3 b ), shoulder strap ( 3 d ) or belt clip ( 3 c ), the o-ring with a pull tab is attached to the support member with a fastener ( 2 ) through a hole ( 6 ) this assembly allows for the transport of a plastic bottle or utility device by the user, the plastic bottle is adapted by engaging the annular rim flange at the base of the screw cap by stretching the o-ring with the pull tab over around and down the screw cap where it is released and held in place under the rim at the base of the screw cap along side the neck of the bottle, a utility device e.g. flashlights, billy clubs or similar shaped articles maybe dropped into the o-ring and held in place in a similar manner as the before mentioned, an optional bushing installed between the support member and the o-ring with pull-tab will stand off the article being suspended allowing for better clamping of the o-ring around the article.

What I claim:  
     
         1 . A apparatus for supporting a bottle or utility device for its transport by a person or maybe attached to a stationary member characterized in that it comprises, in combination: 
 a rubber o-ring with pull-tab;    a fastener;    a support member e.g. a belt, a belt loop, shoulder strap or belt clip with a hole that is used to attach the o-ring to the support member using the fastener.    
     
     
         2 . The invention of  claim 1  where the o-ring with a pull-tab is used to pull the o-ring over around and down the plastic beverage container screw cap to be released under the annular rim at the base of the screw cap for its transport by the user or for its suspension from a stationary support member.  
     
     
         3 . The invention of  claim 1  where the o-ring with pull tab is used to support a utility device that may be dropped into the o-ring for its transport by a person or for its suspension from a stationary support member.  
     
     
         4 . The invention of  claim 1  where the supporting member attaches through a single hole allowing for pivot and swivel of the supported article.  
     
     
         5 . The invention of  claim 1  where the support member for the o-ring holder for transport has a surface area ideally suited to accept graphic artwork and print for promotional propaganda.
