A cantilever-style wine server for mounting to a table has a unitary frame composed of shaped metal bars, such as shaped rods with circular cross-sections. The frame includes a holder that serves as a receptacle for a wine bucket, insulator, and/or a bottle, and a mount/handle that serves as both a cantilever mount to the side of a table and as a handle to transport the server. The holder and mount/handle are unified as a single frame, such as by multiple welds. The frame has a flat base, enabling the server (even when fully loaded) to be set down on a flat surface. A removable cover may center a wine bottle in the holder. |

1. A table-mountable server comprising:
a unitary frame, the unitary frame having a flat base and comprising a holder portion connected to a mount-portion, the holder portion comprising:
a ring;a first support comprising a first inside leg, a first outside leg, and a first base section, each of the first inside leg and the first outside leg connected at one end to the ring and connected at the other end to respective ends of the first base section, the first base section forming part of the flat base;a second support, laterally spaced from the first support and comprising a second inside leg, a second outside leg, and a second base section, each of the second inside leg and the second outside leg connected at one end to the ring and connected at the other end to respective ends of the second base section, the second base section forming part of the flat base; andat least one crossbar, each crossbar connected at one end to the first support and at the other end to the second support; andthe mount portion comprising:
a first arm partially abutting and connected to the first inside leg, the first arm comprising a first top bracket portion, a first section, a first flat portion, and a first curved portion, wherein:
the first top bracket portion connects the first section to a first end of the first arm,the first section abuts and connects to the first inside leg, and connects the first bracket portion to the first flat portion,the first flat portion connects the first section to the first curved portion, and forms part of the flat base, andthe first curved portion connects the first flat portion to a second end of the first arm; a second arm, laterally spaced from the first arm, partially abutting and connected to the second inside leg, the second arm comprising a second top bracket portion, a second section, a second flat portion, and a second curved portion, wherein:
the second top bracket portion connects the second section to a first end of the second arm,the second section abuts and connects to the second inside leg, and connects the second bracket portion to the second flat portion,the second flat portion connects the second section to the second curved portion, and forms part of the flat base, andthe second curved portion connects the second flat portion to a second end of the second arm; a top bracket extending away from the ring of the holder portion, comprising a first contact bar, the first top bracket portion, and the second top bracket portion, wherein the first contact bar connects the first end of the first arm to the first end of the second arm; and a bottom bracket extending away from the holder portion, comprising a second contact bar, the first and second flat portions, and the first and second curved portions, wherein the first and second curved portions curve away from the flat base, and the second contact bar connects the second end of the first arm to the second end of the second arm, wherein the bottom bracket extends further away from the holder portion than the top bracket. |
