do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is the fixing by clip or otherwise of an attachment of
iron steel or other metal or substance to bottles jars or other vessels for the
purpose of holding when not in use the fork spoon or other server of the contents of
the bottles jars or other vessels and also for receiving and retaining in a part of the
attachment (especially constructed for the purpose) the drips from the fork spoon or
other server.
I would here say that I do not bind myself to the particular form or configuration
set forth in the following drawings.
Referring to the drawings A is the clip by which the holder B is attached to the
neck or body of the vessel, B is the holder of the server, which would rest in the cup C
and there the drips from the server would accumulate.

spoon, fork, tongs or other server would accumulate.
The drawings ("left with the provisional specification") show a perspective view of
a device constructed in accordance with this invention, and I would here state that I

invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:

various shapes and sizes, for the purpose of holding a spoon, fork, tongs or other
