Claims
- 1. A beverage bottle clothing clip is formed from a flexible planar polymer substrate with a bottle cap stop rim gripping aperture located near one elongate end;
whereas said gripping aperture is sized accordingly to snugly fit the diameter size of the area immediately and vertically below said bottle cap stop rim; whereas a secondary aperture is located further inwardly from said elongate end of said polymer substrate, and determinedly spaced from said gripping aperture, and determinedly sized accordingly to the diameter of said gripping aperture, and also determinedly sized accordingly to the total dimensional length of a connecting through cut slit between said apertures; whereas a said connecting through cut slit is formed between said apertures, having a said dimensional length accordingly to a chosen, yet functional, total perimeter size of said two apertures, after merging by means of said slit. whereas said gripping aperture is determinedly expandable in size accordingly to the total of the circumferencial perimeter dimensions of said apertures and dimensional length of said slit. whereas an aperture locking bend of approximately 45 to 90 degrees is made in said polymer substrate from planar edge to edge, and perpendicularly crossing the general elongate path of both said apertures and connecting slit; wherein said bend perpendicularly crosses said general path over said slit, or over said secondary aperture, or both; wherein said bend changes the planar axis of said apertures, and so prevents merging of perimeters of said apertures; wherein said bend prevents said gripping aperture from expanding in size to said determinedly expandable size when axial planar surface surrounding said gripping aperture is bent to said 45 to 90 degrees to axial planar surface surrounding said secondary aperture; whereas hand straightening of said flexible substrate and said bend allows for merging of planar axis surrounding said apertures, and so the merging of both said aperture perimeters into a larger and said determinedly expandable size; whereas said flexible substrate of any nominal amount of residual memory, will return to said 45 to 90 degree bent shape, and will also restore the original perimeter size of said gripping aperture; and whereby said gripping aperture of said bent flexible substrate is controllably sizeable for application to and removal from said area immediately below bottleneck cap stop rim; and whereby with the elongate opposite end from aperture area being positioned into and retained by a pocket or opening in clothing, where the bottle's fluid weight pulls downward, and tighteningly retains said locking bend, and therein tighteningly retains said perimeter of primary gripping aperture even more securely.
- 2. we claim A BOTTLE CAP CLOTHING CLIP as in claim 1;using a black plastic polymer substrate for hand bending in cold weather climates.
- 3. we claim A BOTTLE CAP CLOTHING CLIP as in claim 1;using a white plastic polymer substrate for hand bending in warm weather climates.
