ABSTRACT:
A universal container holder designed for receiving, supporting and orienting a beverage container in an upright configuration from a horizontal or a vertical surface or any surface disposed at an angle between the horizontal and vertical. In a first preferred embodiment the universal container holder is characterized by a clip element fitted with a supporting suction cup and provided with curved, spaced clip legs for receiving a corresponding bar tab of a T-bar element which may be attached to a receptacle designed to receive a beverage container. In a second preferred embodiment the T-bar element includes a beverage container receptacle. The T-bar element may be permanently attached to an insulated beverage container receptacle or an alternative container receptacle or it may be removably attached to the container receptacle, as desired. Engagement of the tab component of the T-bar with the curved clip legs, in combination with the rotatable or pivotal mounting of the clip to the supporting suction cup, insures that the beverage container placed in a container receptacle attached to or made a part of the T-bar, is able to swing in two planes oriented in perpendicular relationship with respect to each other and the beverage container will therefore remain upright at all times, regardless of the attitude of the suction cup and the structural member to which the suction cup is attached.
