Holder for a beverage container

Abstract

The invention relates to a holder ( 10 ) for a drinks container ( 12; 14 ). The invention proposes providing the holder ( 10 ) with a holding part ( 24 ) having an insertion opening ( 26 ), which holding part ( 24 ) is guided by a parallelogram guide means ( 28 ) at a base part ( 16 ) having a lateral support ( 22 ). As a result, a free width (d) can be matched to the diameter of the inserted drinks container ( 12; 14 ).

Patent claims  
     
         1 . Holder for a drinks container, having a base part on which a drinks container being inserted into the holder can be stood and having a holding part which provides support at a peripheral location of a drinks container inserted into the holder, characterised in that the base part ( 16 ) has a support ( 22 ), which, with respect to a drinks container ( 12 ;  14 ) inserted into the holder ( 10 ), is arranged opposite the holding part ( 24 ); and the holder ( 10 ) has a guide means ( 28 ), by which the holding part ( 24 ) is so guided in movable manner with respect to the base part ( 16 ) and the support ( 22 ) that a free width (d) between the holding part ( 24 ) and the support ( 22 ) can be varied.  
     
     
         2 . Holder according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the holding part ( 24 ) has an insertion opening ( 26 ) for the drinks container ( 12 ;  14 ); and the holding part ( 24 ) is so guided that, in one position of the holding part ( 24 ), the support ( 22 ) is located inside the insertion opening ( 26 ) and, in another position of the holding part ( 24 ), the insertion opening ( 26 ) is approximately flush with the support ( 22 ).  
     
     
         3 . Holder according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the guide means ( 28 ) is a parallelogram guide means.  
     
     
         4 . Holder according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the holder ( 10 ) has a spring element ( 32 ), which biases the holding part ( 24 ) in the direction of reducing the free width (d) between the holding part ( 24 ) and the support ( 22 ).
