Abstract:
A device for retaining solids in a drinking glass, comprising:a grid having a planar body adapted to filter liquid therethrough but keep solid particles on one side of said planar surface,a clamp having a planar body with a cleft for receiving the edge of a drinking glass;a hinge connecting said grid and said clamp, said hinge being pivotable such that said grid and said clamp are initially positioned co-planar with each other, and wherein pivoting said hinge places said grid perpendicular to said clamp, so that when said clamp is attached to a drinking glass in a vertical position, the grid is horizontal and prevents solids from rising above the grid; andan L-shaped element on said grid adjacent said hinge, and a second L-shaped element on said clamp adjacent said hinge, such that pivoting said hinge to place the grid and clamp perpendicular to one another causes the L-shaped elements to interlock and lock the grid and clamp into a perpendicular position.
