Abstract

A bottle support is provided to hold a bottle in suspended relationship and in such a manner as to be locked to the bottle so that the contents of the bottle can be poured without detachment occurring between the bottle and the support. To enable a mounting of the support atop the bottle, the support is provided with a keyhole-like opening having a first section which is an enlarged lobe which permits the penetration of the neck of the bottle through opening in the support and a second section which is smaller and permits engaging beneath an annular rib which is located on the neck of the bottle. To permit a tilting of the skirt of the support as the support is being mounted on the bottle, the skirt is provided with a cut away portion adjacent the handle which is provided on the skirt.
