When those with little money are on the street with
nothing but a paper coffee cup to rattle at passers by, a
little help would be welcome to improve their efforts.
Octo-cup Holder can assist with their endeavours.
The device is simple, consisting of an extendable
telescopic arm, like a car
aerial. At one end is a hand
gripper, and at the other end there's a set of 8 prongs
arranged like a fan. Each of the prongs terminates in a
circular ring that acts as the paper cupholder.
Our street collector now has eight coffee cups to shake
at
extended arm's length.
Deluxe version has a basic motorised action via a AA
battery in the handle. This causes the cups to vibrate,
making whatever coins they contain to emit additional
attention seeking noise.

Certainly I can see that if you rattle eight coffee cups
in the faces of passers-by, you'll make eight times as
much money as if you only rattle one coffee cup -
this is truly a revolutionary invention. My only fear is
the this will precipitate a street-begging arms race
resulting in people rattling vast grids of thousands of
coffee cups. |

They may be rented from a modern day Fagan. I'm
thinking 8th as a natural for this role. |

We are gratified by your confidence; however, while we are able to assume the design and manufacturing roles, we have had comparatively little success in the type of customer-facing position you envisage. Experience suggests that engaging one of [MB]'s numerous relatives will deliver a more satisfactory outcome in terms of cost-benefit. |

An actuator seems to be over-engineering.
We suggest a small speaker concealed inside some 3D-printed facsimile coins in the base of the cup. |
