ABSTRACT:
A rotationally and translationally pivotable balancing structure is disclosed, which may comprise a variety of functional elements, such as beverage container holders, lamps, racks, dispensers, and the like. The balancing structure comprises an elongate member on portions of which are mounted a functional element and a counter-weight, in spaced relationship to one another. Associated with the balancing member is a pivot structure comprising (i) an omnidirectional fulcrum having a base structure reposable on a support surface, such as a table-top or arm chair top surface, for areal contact therewith, and (ii) a support arm joined to the elongate member and mounted on the omnidirectional fulcrum, to permit rotational and translational pivotable movement of the elongate member relative to the support surface on which the omnidirectional fulcrum is disposed. In one embodiment, the balancing structure comprises a beverage container holder, which may be employed with a lawn chair, rocking chair, or other seating article, to accommodate movement of the beverage container holder without spillage of liquid therefrom.
