ABSTRACT:
A drink holder for mini-vans is detailed and described which does not require a fixed physical attachment to a mini-van, the drink holder having a flat surface tray with a plurality of openings therethrough adapted to receive various sized drink containers or soft drink cans, and a coffee cup, together with a rectangular shaped receptacle providing a cavity below the surface of the top, the cavity for receiving small food or non-food items. Attached to the bottom surface of the top are a pair of "J" shaped legs, the elongated portion of the legs adapted to be frictionally secured interiorly to a compartment provided in the mini-van front console and dashboard assembly and thereby to secure the tray in a fixed level portion. The legs are each hinged to the bottom surface of the tray to swing in towards the tray for minimum storage room and protection against breakage of the legs during non-use. A cross member is forcibly urged against each leg to hold the legs perpendicularly outward of the tray, the cross member secured in a notch formed in the legs proximate the hinge. The cross member, in addition, provides a lower bottom support for a cup held in one of the plurality of the openings.
