A drawer for storing items is formed in the side walk.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for storing a beverage container, comprising:
 a bottom wall;   at least one side wall attached to said bottom wall, said at least one side wall having a bottom edge and a top edge;   a top wall attached to the top edge of said at least one side wall, said top wall having a portion defining an opening for receiving a beverage container; and   a plurality of wheels attached to said bottom wall.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of wheels are retractable. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , further comprising a non-slip material attached to said bottom wall to prevent lateral movement of the device on a surface. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said side wall is generally pyramidal in shape. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said side wall comprises a truncated, four-sided pyramid having four distinct surfaces. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said side wall comprises a truncated, three-sided pyramid having three distinct surfaces. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said side wall comprises a truncated cone. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said bottom wall, said side wall, and said top wall are formed using a plastic injection molding process. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said opening for receiving a beverage container extends downwardly to form a section defining a recess in the device. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein said section defining a recess further comprises a beverage container carrier. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein said beverage container carrier may be selectably placed in a raised position or a lowered position. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 10  wherein said section defining a recess further comprises a liner material having insulating properties. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said side wall further comprises a drawer formed therein. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a remote control unit capable of transmitting electrical signals and an antennae attached to the device and electrically connected to the wheels so as to wirelessly controlling the device.
