Beverage Container Holder

Abstract

A beverage container holder having a pair of circular rings that are vertically aligned and are connected by a handle. The holder can be secured to any of various beverage containers. The pair of rings are adjustable via a ratchet and strap mechanism, wherein the ratchet and strap mechanism allows for the incremental tightening of the ratchet strap around the beverage container and allows the diameter of the rings to be adjusted. The pair of rings are secured around the circumference of a beverage container having a cylindrical shape and are situated so as to be flush with the exterior surface of the beverage container. An ergonomic finger nub is disposed on each of the rings for adjustment of the ratchet and strap. The pair of rings are positioned in a way to enable the user to place the beverage container and beverage container holder into a vehicle cup holder.
