Abstract:
1. A container holder for supporting a plurality of containers wherein each of the plurality of containers has an axis of symmetry wherein each of the plurality of containers is generally cylindrical about the axis wherein the container holder is positioned on a surface, the container holder comprising: a first stopper defined by peripheral walls wherein the first stopper has a length defined between a first end and a second end wherein the second end is located in a position opposite to the first end wherein the peripheral walls are generally symmetrical about an axis of symmetry of the first stopper wherein the axis of symmetry of the first stopper extends from the first end of the first stoper to the second end of the first stopper; a base having a perimeter defining an exterior of the base wherein the perimeter is defined by a first end, a second end, a first edge and a second edge wherein the base has a height and a length wherein the length is defined between the first end of the base and the second end of the base and the height is defined between the first edge and the second edge wherein the base has a thickness defined between a top surface of the base and a bottom surface of the base wherein the bottom surface is opposite to the top surface wherein the height of the base is generally continuous and uniform between the first end of the base and the second end of the base wherein the length of the base is generally continuous and uniform between the first edge of the base and the second edge of the base wherein the thickness of the base is generally continuous and uniform between the top surface and the bottom surface from the first end of the base to the second end of the base and from the first edge of the base to the second edge of the base wherein the first stopper is secured to the first end of the base and further wherein the axis of symmetry of the first stopper is generally parallel to the axis of symmetry of each of the plurality of containers; and a support element adjacent to the surface wherein the second end of the base is connected to the support element wherein the base is only connected to the first stopper at the first end of the base and the support element at the second end of the base wherein the top surface of the base is generally planar between the first stopper and the support element wherein the top surface of the base is substantially parallel to the surface between the first stopper and the support element.
