ABSTRACT:
A beverage container holder comprising a basket which is suspended from a vehicle. The basket has first and second rings which define a vertical axis. The vertical portions of a U-shaped support member and a suspension arm are mounted to the rings. The horizontal portion of the support member and a portion of the arm provide a bottom support for a container. An engagement segment of the arm, which intersects the axis defined by the rings, is inserted into a mounting orifice in the vehicle to install the holder. The edge of the orifice engages a center portion of a semi-circular shaped engagement segment of the arm. Generally a beverage container is inserted through the first ring and rests on either the second ring or the horizontal portion of the support member and the arm portion. Therefore, the center of gravity of a loaded beverage container holder is vertically aligned with the point of engagement between the vehicle and the holder. The holder swings freely about the point of engagement with the suspension arm, preventing spilling of the beverage when the vehicle travels over bumps or makes sudden or tight turns.
