ABSTRACT:
A system for supporting at least one article, comprising an article support member and a base support member for supporting a base member of the article support. The article support comprises a member comprising a first end including a base member projecting therefrom, and a second end including an article support portion capable of supporting at least one article. The base support member comprises a wall which defines a cavity for receiving a portion of the base member projecting from the first portion of the member. Further, the cavity is provided with a protrusion. Preferably, the base support member comprises a cupholder in an automotive vehicle. The base member comprises a first portion capable of interacting with the protrusion, and a second portion capable of interacting with the wall defining said cavity, to cause wedging in response to downward movement of the second end to thereby restrain the second end from further downward movement or in response to tilting of the base member to thereby restrain the base member from further tilting. A beverage container holder is also provided, which can accommodate beverage containers of various sizes and shapes.
