Abstract:

The Personal Holding Device, “P.H.D.” is a collapsible holder with three parts joined by a single hinge and a clip to attach to the user's clothing or other convenient location to help facilitate a hands-free option for other activities. When open, an O-shaped ring or similar variation of this shape is held in horizontal position by a supporting lip. The ring keeps any beverage or similarly shaped container in place. The top stationary piece serves as a splash guard and as a means for attachment. It has a clip with a “key-hole” opening located on the back side. The bottom piece has a semi-circular aperture with a non-slip material covered lip at the mouth of the aperture for securing the bottom of any container placed through the ring. A latch in the form of magnets or a clip holds the device closed and out of the way until needed again.
