Abstract

According to an embodiment, a combination cup/cup holder is configured to use with a cooler. The combination cup/cup holder includes a bottom portion and a sidewall portion extending from the bottom portion. The bottom portion and sidewall portion define an interior volume for holding a liquid and for holding a beverage container. The combination cup/cup holder includes an attachment portion to removably engage a corresponding receiving portion on the cooler.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A combination cup/cup holder for use with a cooler, comprising:
 a bottom portion;   a sidewall portion extending from the bottom portion, the bottom portion and sidewall portion defining an interior volume for holding a liquid and for holding a beverage container; and   an attachment portion configured to removably engage a corresponding receiving portion on the cooler.   
     
     
         2 . The combination cup/cup holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes a thread raised on an exterior surface of the sidewall portion, the thread configured to removably engage a corresponding recessed thread on the cooler. 
     
     
         3 . The combination cup/cup holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes at least one cam protrusion raised on an exterior surface of the sidewall portion, the at least one cam protrusion configured to removably engage a corresponding cam recess on the cooler. 
     
     
         4 . The combination cup/cup holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes at least one cam recess on an exterior surface of the sidewall portion, the at least one cam recess configured to removably engage a corresponding cam protrusion on the cooler. 
     
     
         5 . The combination cup/cup holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes a material having a high magnetic permeability configured to removably engage a magnet on the cooler. 
     
     
         6 . The combination cup/cup holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes a magnet configured to removably engage a material having a high magnetic permeability on the cooler. 
     
     
         7 . The combination cup/cup holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes a loop patch configured to removably engage a hook patch on the cooler. 
     
     
         8 . The combination cup/cup holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes a hook patch configured to removably engage a loop patch on the cooler. 
     
     
         9 . The combination cup/cup holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes a hook configured to fit into a slot on the cooler. 
     
     
         10 . A cooler and combination cup/cup holder system: comprising:
 a cooler having a main body and a lid, the lid including a receiving portion; and   a combination cup/cup holder, wherein the combination cup/cup holder includes:
 a bottom portion,
