Bottle/can tethers

Abstract

A bottle and/or can holder including a strap of nylon webbing looped at one end through a square ring and back through a cinch buckle for length adjustment. The ring is also connected to a short loop of webbing that encircles a Velcro-adjustable cuff for attachment to a child carrier, car seat, wrist or the like. The other end of the strap is sewn to a larger Velcro-adjustable compression cuff for attachment around a bottle, can or the like. The compression cuff has a non-slip rubber (neoprene) strip sewn into the cuff to securely grip the container that it holds. An alternate embodiment of the invention comprises a bottle/can tether including a fixed strap attached to a triangular carabiner at one end, and to a Velcro-adjustable cuff at the opposing end. This cuff is for attachment around a bottle, can or the like, and it has a non-slip rubber (neoprene) strip sewn into it to securely grip the container that it holds. When applied, the devices will securely tether a bottle or can and prevent ground contact and spillage if, for instance, a baby throws his bottle.

1 . A bottle/can tether, comprising:
 an elongate first strap;   a first compression cuff attached at one end of said strap, said first compression cuff including an elongate second strap attached at one end to a rectangle ring and another end attachable about said rectangle ring onto itself by hook-and-loop material; and   a releasable attachment fixture attached to another end of said first strap.   
   
   
       2 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 1 , wherein said elongate first strap and second strap both comprise nylon webbing. 
   
   
       3 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 2 , wherein said elongate first strap comprises a first section looped at one end through a rectangle ring and back through a cinch buckle for length adjustment, and a second section looped at one end through said rectangle ring. 
   
   
       4 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 2 , wherein said first compression cuff includes a non-slip strip attached to an inward face of said elongate second strap. 
   
   
       5 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 4 , wherein said non-slip strip comprises closed cell rubber foam material. 
   
   
       6 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 5 , wherein said non-slip strip comprises Neoprene™ polychloroprene. 
   
   
       7 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 5 , wherein said non-slip strip is sewn onto said second strap. 
   
   
       8 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 5 , wherein said non-slip strip is bonded onto said second strap. 
   
   
       9 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 6 , wherein said releasable attachment fixture comprises a second compression cuff attached to another end of said first strap. 
   
   
       10 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 6 , wherein said releasable attachment fixture comprises a carabiner. 
   
   
       11 . A bottle/can tether, comprising:
 an elongate first strap of nylon webbing including a first section looped at one end through a rectangle ring and back through a cinch buckle for length adjustment, and a second section looped at one end through said rectangle ring;   a first compression cuff attached at one end of said first strap, said first compression cuff including second strap attached at one end to a rectangle ring and another end attachable about said rectangle ring onto itself by hook-and-loop material, and a non-slip Neoprene™ strip adhered inside said second strap; and   a carabiner attached to another end of said first strap.   
   
   
       12 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 11 , wherein said non-slip Neoprene™ strip is sewn to an inward face of said second strap. 
   
   
       13 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 11 , wherein said non-slip strip creates an annulus of high-friction around a bottle or can when said first compression cuff is tightened thereabout to securely lock the bottle or can in place. 
   
   
       14 . A bottle/can tether, comprising:
 an elongate first strap of nylon webbing including a first section looped at one end through a rectangle ring and back through a cinch buckle for length adjustment, and a second section looped at one end through said rectangle ring;   a first compression cuff attached at one end of said first strap, said first compression cuff including second strap attached at one end to a rectangle ring and another end attachable about said rectangle ring onto itself by hook-and-loop material, and a non-slip Neoprene™ strip adhered inside said second strap; and   a second compression cuff attached to another end of said first strap.   
   
   
       15 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 14 , wherein said second compression cuff comprises a strap secured at one end to a rectangle ring and attachable onto itself at another end around said rectangle ring by hook-and-loop material. 
   
   
       16 . The bottle/can tether according to  claim 15 , wherein said non-slip strip creates an annulus of high-friction around a bottle or can when said first compression cuff is tightened thereabout to securely lock the bottle or can in place.
