ABSTRACT:
A holder for beverage containers such as cans, bottles, mugs, and insulated drink wraps that is mountable on an inclined tubular section such as a golf cart handle is disclosed. The beverage holder consists of brackets and expansion brackets, that are slid together using their reverse dovetail joints. There are also 2 thumbscrews (2 bolts), one for each side, that are screwed in until there is an equal amount of pressure against the tubular handle. This will create an outward pressure of the dovetail joints and prevent them from sliding apart. The thumbscrews also serve as the beverage container receptacle hanging point. The arm that extends from the receptacle has a keyhole-slot at the top. This keyhole slot will accept the thumbscrew head and then the shank, once pulled in a downward motion to lock in place. When in use the receptacle will be free swinging, so upon tilting the tubular section, the receptacle will tend to maintain a vertical orientation.
