Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a holder for glass and bottles that can be easily used. The holder can be modified and has a flexible design. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a versatile holder for glass and bottles that can be adapted to different needs and preferences."

Problems solved by technology

Transporting beverages contained in bottles or other containers and multiple glasses often requires numerous trips.
First, waiters and waitresses are often traveling in crowded spaces and, if another person knocks into the waiter or waitress, he or she may drop the tray, breaking the glasses and / or bottles thereon.
In addition, it is difficult to carefully balance a flat tray for a long distance.
Thus, articles on the tray may tip over and break, even if the tray does not hit an unanticipated object.
Moreover, these trays are normally not used to hold beverages, such as wine in bottles, at their final destination.
