Abstract

A beverage container holder comprises an arcuate body pivotably mounted to a base so as to define a first pivot axis. The base is configured to be affixed to a vehicle. An annular member is pivotably mounted to the arcuate body so as to define a second pivot axis, the annular member being sized for accommodating a beverage container.

Claims

1. A beverage container holder comprising:

an arcuate body pivotably mounted to a base so as to define a first pivot axis, the base being configured to be affixed to a vehicle; and

an annular member pivotably mounted to the arcuate body so as to define a second pivot axis, the annular member being sized for accommodating a beverage container.

2. The beverage container holder of claim 1, wherein the base comprises first and second clamping members configured to cooperate for clamping to the vehicle.

3. The beverage container holder of claim 2, wherein the first and second clamping members are configured to cooperate for clamping to a generally cylindrical structure of the vehicle.

4. The beverage container holder of claim 2, wherein the base further comprises an adjustable member to which the arcuate body is pivotably mounted, the adjustable member being configured to fasten the arcuate body to the first clamping member at an angle about a third pivot axis.

5. The beverage container holder of claim 1, wherein the base comprises any of:

one or more suction cups, a pair of hinged clamping members, and at least one mounting plate comprising one or more fasteners.

6. The beverage container holder of claim 1, further comprising a basket assembly configured for connecting to the annular member.

7. The beverage container holder of claim 6, wherein the basket assembly is configured for providing an additional support surface for the beverage container.

8. A kit for a beverage container holder comprising:

an arcuate body configured to be pivotably mounted to a base so as to define a first pivot axis;

the base, said base configured to be affixed to a vehicle; and

an annular member configured to be pivotably mounted to the arcuate body so as to define a second pivot axis, the annular member being sized for accommodating a beverage container.

9. The kit of claim 8, wherein the base comprises first and second clamping members configured to be removably connected to each other and being shaped to cooperate for clamping to the vehicle.

10. The kit of claim 9, wherein said first and second clamping members are shaped to cooperate for clamping to a generally cylindrical structure of the vehicle.

11. The kit of claim 9, wherein the base further comprises an adjustable member to which the arcuate body is configured to be pivotably mounted, the adjustable member being configured to fasten the arcuate body to the first clamping member at an angle about a third pivot axis.

12. The kit of claim 8, wherein the base comprises any of:

one or more suction cups, a pair of hinged clamping members, and at least one mounting plate comprising one or more fasteners.

13. The kit of claim 8, further comprising a basket assembly configured to be connected to the annular member.

14. The kit of claim 13, wherein the basket assembly comprises a base and at least one support rod configured to removably connect the base to the annular member.
