ABSTRACT:
A beverage holder for supporting both the bottom surface and the sides of a container includes a housing mounted within a vertical panel of the vehicle body and having spaced apart side walls defining a narrow vertical slot. A plastic retainer includes a narrow spine portion having an end pivoted to the housing at the bottom of the narrow slot to mount the spine for movement between a vertical position stored inside the housing and a deployed position extending horizontally outward from the face of the panel and defining a narrow shelf for supporting the bottom surface of the container. The retainer also has a pair of plastic support wings connected to the spine and extending above the spine. The wings are yieldable relative one another to spaced apart positions by which the wings resiliently cradle the walls of the beverage container to balance the beverage container on the spine. Furthermore, the wings yield relative one another to a closely spaced relation when the retainer is pivoted through the narrow slot to the stored position. In the stored position, the wings yieldably engage the side walls of the housing to thereby retain the retainer in the stored position.
