Abstract

A device including a bottle loop section, wherein said bottle loop section is configured to couple a bottle neck, in which said bottle loop section comprises a bottle loop arm, wherein a diameter of said bottle loop arm is configured to commensurate a diameter of the bottle neck. The device further includes a cork loop section, wherein said cork loop section is configured to hold a cork, in which said cork loop section comprises a cork loop arm, wherein a diameter of said cork loop arm is configured to commensurate a diameter of the cork. The bottle loop section and cork loop section are into engagement to form a single unit cork holder and bottle coupler to allow for an elegant display of the cork and proper inspection the cork's condition during wine consumption while coupled to the wine bottle.

 wherein a diameter of said proximate C-shaped bottle loop section formed by said first bottle loop arm and second bottle loop arm is configured to commensurate a diameter of the bottle neck; 
   a narrow end or cork loop section, wherein said cork loop section is configured to hold a cork, in which said cork loop section comprises;
 a first cork loop arm; 
 a second cork loop arm; 
 wherein said first cork loop arm and second cork loop arm forms a proximate C-shaped narrow end or cork loop section; and 
 wherein a diameter of said proximate C-shaped formed by said first cork loop arm and second cork loop arm is configured to commensurate a diameter of the cork; 
   and   wherein said bottle loop section and cork loop section are into engagement to form a single unit cork holder and bottle coupler.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , in which said engagement comprises a bridge, wherein said bridge is configured to engage said first bottle loop arm and said second bottle loop arm to form a generally C-shaped wide end. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , further comprising a notification surface that is configured to allow for printing or engraving of, at least one of, an image, a lettering, an advertisement, and graphics. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , further comprising an anti-slip material disposed on an inner portion of said first and second bottle loop arms, wherein said anti-slip material is configured to provide additional grip or protection, in which said anti-slip material comprises at least one of a rubber composition and a vinyl composition. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate support, wherein said intermediate support engages said bottle loop section and cork loop section. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein said first and second bottle loop arms are coupled to a middle portion of said intermediate support. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein said first and second cork loop arms are coupled to an outer portion of said intermediate support, and wherein said device do not contain moving parts, detachable parts, or other affixing hardware required for the device to work properly. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second bottle loop arms comprises flared openings, and wherein said first and second bottle loop arms are configured to allow for inward or outward deflection. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein said first and second cork loop arms comprises flared openings, and wherein said first and second cork loop arms are configured to allow for inward or outward deflection. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , in which said engagement comprises a connector that is configured to couple said bottle loop section and said cork loop section to form a single unit cork holder and bottle coupler. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , in which said connector comprises two end portions, wherein one end portion is configured to couple an outside surface of said bottle loop section and the other end portion is configured to couple an outside surface of said cork loop section. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , further comprising at least one or more support ribs, wherein said one or more support ribs are configured to provide additional structural integrity to said device, and wherein said device may not contain moving parts, detachable parts, or other affixing hardware required for the device to work properly. 
     
     
         13 . A device comprising:
 means for coupling a bottle neck;   means for forming said bottle neck coupling means;   means for holding a cork;   means for forming said cork holding means;   means for engaging said bottle neck coupling means and said cork holding means to form a single unit cork holder and bottle coupler;   means for allowing for printing or engraving of, at least one of, an image, a lettering, an advertisement, and graphics;   means for providing anti-slip grip or protection for said bottle holding means; and   means for providing anti-slip grip or protection for said cork holding means.   
     
     
         14 . A device comprising:
 a bottle loop section, wherein said bottle loop section is configured to couple to a bottle neck, in which said bottle loop section comprises;
 a bottle loop arm; 
 wherein said bottle loop arm forms a proximate C-shaped bottle loop section; and 
 wherein a diameter of said proximate C-shaped bottle loop section formed by said bottle loop arm is configured to commensurate a diameter of the bottle neck; 
   a cork loop section, wherein said cork loop section is configured to hold a cork, in which said cork loop section comprises;
 a cork loop arm; 
 wherein said cork loop arm forms a proximate C-shaped cork loop section; and 
 wherein a diameter of said proximate C-shaped narrow end formed by said cork loop arm is configured to commensurate a diameter of the cork; 
   and   wherein said bottle loop section and cork loop section are into engagement to form a single unit cork holder and bottle coupler.   
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 14 , in which said bottle loop arm comprises a first bottle loop arm and a second bottle loop arm.
