Mug minder

Abstract

A device for use on any flat surface. A mug minder It is four sides, only. Its shape is square with angled sides. It is placed with the larger open bottom resting upon a flat surface and the opening of the slot for a mug handle is up. The open top is smaller than the open bottom so as to be the best fit for a typical mug. A mug handle fits into the slot. A mug minder reduces the potential for serious spills by the hundreds of millions of people who drink coffee, tea, etc. at their work place. The stability necessary for a mug minder to slide when nudged is achieved by the bottom of a mug minder and the mug inside of it sliding simultaneously because the top of the angled side pushes the mug placed in the mug minder.

1 . The mug minder, positioned on any flat surface such as a desk, work station, console, a table, counter top, etc., and with a mug of liquid placed in it, reduces the potential for serious spills. When accidentally nudged the mug minder slides rather than tips over. This is because the mug bottom and the bottoms of the angled sides of the mug minder, larger than the top, rest upon the flat surface and when nudged move simultaneously.
