Abstract

A holder for storing a beverage container in an upright orientation. The beverage holder includes a base with a perimeter and a sidewall extending upwards from the base defining an interior volume with an open upper end. The interior volume can receive a beverage container therein such as a two-liter soda bottle.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a beverage holder that can be easily attached to a refrigerator shelf and used to hold a beverage container therein. This makes it convenient for users when opening the refrigerator door.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the door shelves are the warmest part of a refrigerator and are the only part of the refrigerator that items can fall from due to inertia as a result of the door opening and closing.

However, the practice of storing beverage containers within the door shelves nevertheless continues due to the limited refrigerator storage space.

The moving liquid causes the beverage container to sway and possibly knock over other items, as well as potentially falling or spilling contents if the cover is missing or not properly secured.

A sticky, smelly, corrosive, or easily perishable material can cause additional harm and difficulty in cleaning.
