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 and a first outside leg, each connected at one end to the ring and connected at the other end to a section of the first support forming part of the flat base;a second support, laterally spaced from the first support and comprising a second inside leg and a second outside leg, each connected at one end to the ring and connected at the other end to a section of the second support 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; and the mount portion comprising:
a first arm partially abutting and connected to the first inside leg;a second arm, laterally spaced from the first arm, partially abutting and connected to the second inside leg;a top bracket comprising a first contact bar and portions of the first arm and the second arm extending away the ring of the holder portion, the first contact bar connecting a first end of the first arm to a first end of the second arm; anda bottom bracket comprising a second contact bar and portions of the first arm and the second arm extending away from the holder portion along the flat base, portions of each arm forming part of the flat base and before curving away from the flat base, the second contact bar connecting a second end of the first arm to a second end of the second arm,wherein the bottom bracket extends further away from the holder portion than the top bracket. |
