Abstract
A holding device for drink containers in particular for installing in vehicles comprises a fastening panel, a tray supported thereto to be retracted or folded-out for receiving the bottom of the drink container as well as a holder, which is at least partially annularly shaped and which is supported above the tray on the fastening panel to pivot between a folded-out position and a retracted position. In its retracted position the holder is covered by the tray like forming a lid. The tray and the holder are connected with each other via at least one connecting lever in such an articulated manner that with the retracting and folded-out movement, respectively, of the tray the holder is automatically movable into its retracted and folded-out position, respectively.
