Urinal flush valve beverage rest holder
Abstract
A drink beverage coaster is specifically meant to attach to a urinal flush valve top cap. It attaches itself by a vertical wall or a plurality of individual walls that extend 90 degrees away from the underside of the top coaster part that conform around the urinal flush valve top cap, and attached to the side edges of the top cap via an elastic spongy material attached on the inner sides of the vertical walls, that not only conforms to the shape of the urinal flush valve top cap, but when it is put over a top cap, the top cap pushes against the spongy material applying force against the spongy material that in turn applies force against the inner side of the downward vertical walls which then apply pressure back to the elastic spongy material which applies the pressure back to the top cap sides. When laying a beverage, whether a bottle, can or glass on the chrome top cap, or plumbing apparatus, a drink is prone to fall off on the floor because the surface is not large enough, flat enough and is too slippery to accommodate a beverage container. The drink beverage coaster fits over the top cap via it's spongy material thus allowing for easy removal for maintenance of the flush valve and may be put back on easily to accommodate those who have a beverage in hand at the urinal allowing one to rest their drink on the beverage rest for hands free operation of said bodily functions at the urinal without losing one's drink.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . I claim a urinal flush valve beverage rest holder, made from any hard resilient material known to man, that attaches itself to a urinal flush valve sanitary device, consisting of a smooth or non-slip flat horizontal surface for which to rest a beverage, and underneath said flat horizontal surface, vertical walls extending downward that conform to, and fit over the urinal flush valve top cap shape, holding it firmly into place, thus allowing the user to rest their beverage on the holder and allowing for their hands to be free from any beverage.

6 . The subject matter in claim 5 where it could be imprinted with advertising for business and maximum exposure of corporate products and identities.
7 . The subject matter in claim 6 where in a side lip around the outer edge of the horizontal surface could extend upward or downward from the horizontal surface that acts as a decorative lip when faced downward or functional lip to prevent a beverage from falling off the flat surface when facing upwards. This lip is located on the outside edge of the horizontal surface and extends from one millimeter to two hundred millimeters on an angle upwards from 1 to 179 degrees from the horizontal flat surface to which the beverage rests, or downward from 1 to 179 degrees from the horizontal flat surface to which the beverage rests.
8 . The subject matter in claim 7 where in drainage slits, or channels could be added to the top horizontal surface side lip of the urinal flush valve beverage rest holder to allow for drainage of any liquid that may find it's way onto the horizontal surface.
9 . The subject matter in claim 8 where a grabbing device attaches to the inside edge of the vertical walls that is an elastic spongy material that forms to the shape of the flush valve top cap when the beverage rest is pushed over top of the flush valve top cap, thus applying force to the flush valve top cap sides via the elastic nature of the spongy material between the inside vertical walls and the outside edges of the flush valve top cap.
10 . The subject matter in claim 8 where the grabbing device attaches to the inside edge of the vertical walls and the underside of the horizontal surface for resting a beverage, that is a magnetic material which attaches the beverage rest to the flush valve top cap by magnetic force.
11 .) The subject matter in claim 8 where the outer vertical walls have a plurality of a horizontal slits, whereby the horizontal slit is aligned with the lower bottom horizontal edge of the flush valve top cap, allowing the vertical wall above the slits to remain stationary, and the vertical wall below the slits to be pushed inward creating a tab using the lower outer wall, that bends inward and under the urinal flush valve top cap, holding the flush valve beverage rest holder securely to the top cap.
12 .) The subject matter in claim 8 where the outer vertical walls have a plurality of a horizontal slits with vertical slits going downward in a 90 degree angle, but not limited to a 90 degree angle, which start at one end of the horizontal slits joining horizontal slits, and which vertical slits extend downward from the horizontal slits past the bottom edge of the urinal flush valve beverage holder, whereby the horizontal slit is aligned with the lower bottom horizontal edge of the flush valve top cap, allowing the vertical wall above the slits to remain stationary, and the vertical wall below the slits to be pushed inward creating a tab using the lower outer wall, that bends inward and under the urinal flush valve top cap, holding the flush valve beverage rest holder securely to the top cap.
13 . The subject matter in claim 9 where in a flush beverage rest holder consisting of a top flat surface to rest a drink on, with downward vertical walls, however, the underside of said horizontal top surface is molded to meld perfectly with the top section of an automatic flush valve top cap, and the vertical walls are longer to accommodate the longer walls on an automatic flush valve top cap, and is held by the underside of the to horizontal surface of the beverage rest, in combination with the elastic spongy material attached to the inside section of the vertical walls.
