Patent ID: 6837472

Claim:
A holder for a bottle having a cylindrical neck, comprising: a body, a pair of convex curved flexible legs joined to the body, each of said legs having a concave curved inside surface adapted to engage cylindrical portions of the neck to secure the holder to the bottle, said legs having adjacent outer ends, a releasable latch joined to said adjacent outer ends for connecting said adjacent ends of the legs to selectively retain the concave curved inside surfaces of the legs in engagement with the cylindrical neck of the bottle and release said concave curved inside surfaces from engagement with the cylindrical neck of the bottle whereby the holder can be removed from the cylindrical neck of the bottle, said body having a concave curved wall between and joined to the concave curved inside surfaces of the legs providing a concave recess, said concave curved wall of the body having a curvature radius smaller than the curvature radii of the concave curved inside surfaces of the legs whereby a portion of said neck of the bottle is movable into said concave recess to allow said latch to be released, an arm joined to the body extended longitudinally away from the legs, a head joined to the arm, an ear joined to the head and laterally spaced from the arm providing an eye, a flexible lip joined to the body and laterally spaced from the arm, said lip having an outer end portion engageable with the ear to close the eye, and a generally flat member joined to the arm having at least one surface for accommodating indicia.
