Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A bottle attachment device for securing a container having material stored therein to an exterior surface of a vehicle, the bottle attachment device comprising: 
 a bottle holder,    a magnet that is connected to the bottle holder, wherein the magnet is of sufficient strength to secure the bottle holder with the container positioned therein to the exterior surface of the vehicle, and,    a cushion that is connected to the magnet, wherein at least a portion of the cushion is positioned between the magnet and the exterior surface of the vehicle when the magnet is secured to the exterior surface of the vehicle.    
     
     
         2 . The bottle attachment device of  claim 1  wherein the bottle holder and the cushion further comprise the container and a bottom piece that is positioned below a bottom surface of the container, the magnet being positioned between the bottom surface of the container and the bottom piece.  
     
     
         3 . The bottle attachment device of  claim 1  wherein the bottle holder and the cushion further comprise the container and a bottom piece, the bottom piece further comprising a peripheral wall extending below a bottom surface of the container and forming a cavity, wherein the magnet is positioned within the cavity.  
     
     
         4 . The bottle attachment device of  claim 1  wherein the bottle holder further comprises a cup having a conical sleeve connected to a circular bottom, the conical sleeve having top and bottom ends, the top end having a greater diameter than the bottom end.  
     
     
         5 . The bottle attachment device of  claim 1  wherein the bottle holder further comprises an adjustable strap having first and second sides, the first side including a positive surface and the second side including a negative surface.  
     
     
         6 . The bottle attachment device of  claim 1  wherein the bottle holder and the cushion further comprise a wrap having inner and outer surfaces and positive and negative surfaces, wherein the magnet is positioned between the inner and outer surfaces.  
     
     
         7 . The bottle attachment device of  claim 6  wherein the wrap further comprises a first end and a body, the body including the negative surface and the first end including a strip having the positive surface.  
     
     
         8 . The bottle attachment device of  claim 1  wherein the bottle holder and the cushion further comprise a sock, the sock including a body portion, bottom surface and a bottom portion, the bottom surface being positioned between the body portion and the bottom portion, wherein the magnet is positioned within the bottom portion.  
     
     
         9 . The bottle attachment device of  claim 1  wherein the cushion further comprises a rubber boot:  
     
     
         10 . A method for temporarily attaching a container having material stored therein to an exterior surface of a vehicle and applying the material to the exterior surface, the method comprising: 
 removing material from the container,    positioning an attachment device against the exterior surface of the vehicle, wherein the container is connected to the attachment device; and,    applying the material to the exterior surface.    
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising positioning the container within a bottle holder, the bottle holder being connected to the attachment device.  
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the positioning the attachment device step further comprises positioning a peripheral surface of the container against the exterior surface of the vehicle, the attachment device being positioned adjacent to the peripheral surface of the container.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising positioning the attachment device further comprises positioning a bottom surface of the container against the exterior surface of the vehicle, the attachment device being positioned adjacent to the bottom surface of the container.
