ABSTRACT:
A beverage container holding apparatus (10) for holding conventional cups of various sizes and conventional beverage cans, includes a body (12). An outer ring member (22) and an inner ring member (32) are pivotally mounted to the body by a pin (40). Large and small cups (52, 60) are supported in generally circular openings (24, 34) by supporting edges (25, 35) in the inner and outer ring members respectively. A conventional can (62) is supported in the inner ring member and on a finger (42) which projects outward from a lower portion of the body. The finger has an upturned end (44) which is adapted to be accepted in a recess in the bottom of the can. The finger also serves to hold the inner ring member in a retracted position when it is not in use. A tab (46) on the lower portion of the body holds the outer ring member in the retracted member when the outer ring member is not in use.
