         9 . An improved cup handle, said cup handle is easily attachable to at least one object selected from the group consisting of: a beverage cup and a cover disposed on top of said beverage cup, said cup handle comprises:
 (a) a back portion, said back portion comprising a polymeric material configured to sustain a biasing counter force upon distortion;   (b) a top portion forming a continuum with said back portion;   (c) a bottom portion forming a continuum with said back portion;   (d) a front portion forming a continuum with said bottom portion;   (e) an optimized locking mechanism disposed oppositely to said back portion, said locking mechanism comprising:
 (I) a frontal extension extending essentially perpendicularly from said top portion towards bottom, said frontal extension is configured to engage at least one object selected from the group consisting of: said beverage cup and said cover disposed on top of said beverage cup; 
 (II) an inner bumper extension, disposed on a bottom face of said top portion, said inner bumper extension is configured to prevent sliding of a rim of said beverage cup in a backward direction; 
 (III) a blade forming a continuum with said front portion, said blade embodies an inwardly arcuate shape, said blade comprising:
 (i) a pointed front edge configured to exert a greater compressing force onto said rim of said beverage cup; 
 (ii) an arcuate front face configured to exert a greater pressing force towards said beverage cup; 
 (iii) an arcuate back face configured to exert a greater pressing force towards said beverage cup;
