Beverage container holder and handle for use in a vehicle

Abstract

The invention is a beverage container holder with a handle attached to it for use in passing beverages inside a vehicle. A passenger can use the beverage container holder to hold a beverage container (bottles, cans, glasses, etc.), and pass said beverage container to another passenger in the vehicle by means of the handle. The handle would be grasped by one passenger, and the beverage container holder would then be moved within the grasp of another passenger. This invention will allow safer passage of beverages inside a moving vehicle. It will be especially useful for an adult to pass a beverage container to a child. The beverage container holder is made of a lightweight plastic, and contains no sharp corners, making it safe for children to use.
