the top end 40 and bottom end 50 are spaced and arranged such that they snap snugly over either end of the can the ends 40 and 50 are designed with built in flexibility where they connect to the structure this arrangement squeezes the can between the top end 40 and the bottom end 50 and the pressure exerted on the can by the ends 40 and 50 pulls the object against the face and holds it securely in place where the can to be held is not flat on its ends the ends 40 and 50 of the latch can be molded to correspond to the shape of the ends of the can an embodiment of the latch with molding is useful for holding cans and other cylindrical objects with figured ends lips or other surface features on the can allow the molded ends 40 and 50 to better grip the can creating a secure hold on the can another embodiment as shown in fig2 amp 3 further comprises a raised grip 10 roughly perpendicular to the top end 40 said grip 10 may be placed on either the top end 40 the bottom end 50 or both ends 40 and 50 of the latch the grip 10 assists the user in removing the can by providing a leverage point the user may use one hand to simultaneously pull the can away from the latch while pushing on the grip 10 to both a push the latch away and b flex the ends 40 and 50 outward to remove the tension securing the can the outer face the convex side of an embodiment with.
