ABSTRACT:
A drink-item holding apparatus incorporates an upper flap and a lower flap which may be unfolded from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration in which the upper flap is releasably latched in its horizontal position. Projections at the rear edge of the upper flap resiliently push in L-shaped arms against the biasing action of springs until the projections snap past the arms which then serve to latch the upper flap in its deployed configuration. The upper flap may be rotated in the reverse direction in order to unlatch the projections so as to return to the stowed configuration. The upper flap is therefore protected against inadvertent downward rotation. The lower flap folds away upwards, and the upper flap folds away downwards against the lower surface of the lower flap in order to produce a compact arrangement of the apparatus.
