Beverage bottle holding device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing beverage bottle holders and coasters do not effectively prevent tipping over and assist in opening screw caps, particularly for plastic bottles.
Innovation Solution
A beverage bottle holding device with a cylindrical container, a stabilizing base, and an orifice with a gripping structure that engages the screw cap to facilitate unscrewing, combined with a support plate for stability and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a simple beverage bottle holder is used, then the device complexity is low, but the stability is poor and it tips over easily
Solution Approach 1:
The base portion extends beyond the container portion in a dimensional extension that creates a wider footprint. This dimensional change from a simple cylindrical holder to one with an extended base increases the support area, thereby improving stability without adding complex mechanical structures or multiple components.
2Ease of operation
If a gripping structure is added to the holder, then the ease of operation for unscrewing caps is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gripping structure is merged with the base portion, forming an integrated component rather than a separate attachment. The gripping structure is formed as part of the base portion's geometry, combining the stabilizing function of the extended base with the cap-gripping function in a single unified structure, thereby improving ease of operation without proportionally increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The base portion serves multiple functions: it provides stability by extending beyond the container portion to create a wide footprint, and it includes the gripping structure that engages with screw caps. This multi-functionality allows a single component to address both stability and ease of cap removal, reducing the need for additional separate components.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the base portion extends beyond the container portion, then the stability is improved, but the volume of the device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The extension of the base portion is localized rather than uniform throughout the entire device. The base extends beyond the container portion specifically at the bottom to provide stability, while the upper container portion maintains its compact cylindrical form. This localized extension improves stability without proportionally increasing the overall volume of the device.

AI summary
A beverage bottle holding device includes a cylindrical container portion, a stabilizing base portion, and a support plate. The cylindrical container portion is designed to hold a beverage bottle. The stabilizing base portion is positioned at the bottom of the container portion and projects beyond the outer surface of the container portion. The base portion includes an orifice that includes a gripping structure on the interior surface thereof, which is designed to engage an outer surface of a screw cap of a beverage bottle to permit a user to at least partially unscrew the screw cap. The support plate is positioned in the container portion on top of the base portion and covering one side of the orifice.
