Abstract

A rotatable holder having first and second sections is provided. The first section has a plurality of first peripheral sides connected to each other and first and second end sides, each end side formed in a plane which is generally perpendicular to the plurality of first peripheral sides. The second section has a plurality of second peripheral sides connected to each other and third and fourth end sides, each end side formed in a plane which is generally perpendicular to the plurality of second peripheral sides. The first and second sections are rotatably coupled with each other along respective end sides of each section. At least one of the peripheral sides forms an orifice for receiving an object.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 753,882, filed Dec. 23, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a holder, and more specifically to a rotatable holder which includes orifices in a variety of sizes that may be used to support one or more objects having a variety of sizes. [0003] Currently, some holders are sized to hold one type of item, such as writing utensils, test tubes, and other such devices. This is problematic, since sometimes a user would desire that the holder be sized to hold a variety of items having various sizes. Additionally, other times a user would like to hold more items of a first size and fewer items of a second size than the holder is typically configured to hold. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a rotatable holder includes a plurality of sections rotatably coupled with each other along respective end s...
