ABSTRACT:
An 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. Promotional messages may be displayed on a central portion ( 18) of the body, as well as on display surfaces (82, 94) of a shelf member (80) of an alternative embodiment.
