ABSTRACT:
The beverage temperature controller is adapted to be releasably connected to the vent(s) of a vehicle are temperature conditioning unit which may be a heater or an air cooling and heating unit. The controller includes a box-like hollow housing having a generally horizontal closed bottom, interconnected closed upraised sides, front and rear and an open top, which can be covered by an openable lid. The housing defines a control storage space accessible through the top and in which a ring-like beverage can or drink holder is secured, so that the beverage is spaced from the housing sides, front and back, allowing circulation of air therearound. Strips in the housing bottom also raise the can for additional circulation. The housing rear has an opening permitting air to flow from the vent(s) of a vehicle air temperature conditioning unit into the housing and around the beverage can, keeping it hot or cold, as desired, when the housing is releasably connected directly to the vent(s) or through a spacing adapter in the form of a sleeve. A spring biased hook, velcro straps, etc. can be used as housing-vent connectors. The front of the housing may include a grill to allow the air to exit the housing.
