Abstract
A beverage container is provided for mounting to vehicles such as power boats, sailboats and recreational vehicles. The beverage container holder is adapted for mounting to support platforms on the vehicle which may be any suitable vehicle structure such as the armrest of a chair. The beverage container holder comprises a mounting ring which is first rigidly affixed to the support platform, and further comprises a cylindrical can having an upper circumferential rim which fits over the mounting ring and includes detents that positively lock the rim onto the mounting ring.
Claims33
A beverage container holder for a support platform, said holder comprising:
- a container having a side wall which defines an upward opening hollow interior adapted to receive a beverage container downwardly therein, said side wall having a peripheral mounting flange which projects radially outwardly and extends about a periphery of said side wall, said mounting flange being defined by an exposed exterior flange surface which faces outwardly and an interior flange surface which faces inwardly toward the support platform;
- and
- an annular mounting ring which is shaped to extend about a holder-receiving opening in the support platform and is mountable on an upper surface of the support platform, said mounting ring including fasteners which fixedly secure said mounting ring in a fixed position on the support platform, said mounting ring including a ring surface which faces toward said interior flange surface in opposed relation and said mounting flange and said mounting ring including cooperating fastening parts which are engagable with each other between said opposed interior flange surface and ring surface so as to be substantially hidden, wherein said container is secured to the support platform by its engagement with said mounting ring.
A beverage container holder for a support platform, said holder comprising:
- a container having a side wall which defines an upward opening hollow interior adapted to receive a beverage container downwardly therein, said side wall having a peripheral mounting flange which projects radially outwardly and extends about a periphery of said side wall, said mounting flange being defined by an exposed exterior flange surface which faces outwardly and an interior flange surface which faces inwardly toward the support platform said interior flange surface of said mounting flange defining a downward opening flange channel;
- and
- an annular mounting ring which is shaped to extend about a holder-receiving opening in the support platform and is mountable on an upper surface of the support platform, said mounting ring including fasteners which fixedly secure said mounting ring in a fixed position on the support platform, said mounting ring including a ring surface which faces toward said interior flange surface in opposed relation wherein said mounting ring is enclosed within said flange channel when said container is positioned thereon and said fasteners are hidden from view in said flange channel, said mounting flange and said mounting ring further including cooperating fastening parts which are engagable with each other between said opposed interior flange surface and ring surface by relative movement of said container and said mounting ring, said cooperating fastening parts being substantially hidden, wherein said container is secured to the support platform by its engagement with said mounting ring.
A beverage container holder for a support platform, said holder comprising:
- a container having a side wall which defines an upward opening hollow interior adapted to receive a beverage container downwardly therein, said side wall having a peripheral mounting flange which projects radially outwardly and extends about a periphery of said side wall, said mounting flange being defined by an exposed exterior flange surface which faces outwardly and an interior flange surface which faces inwardly toward the support platform;
- and
- an annular mounting ring which is shaped to extend about a holder-receiving opening in the support platform and is mountable on an upper surface of the support platform, said mounting ring including fasteners which fixedly secure said mounting ring in a fixed position on the support platform, said mounting ring including a ring surface which faces toward said interior flange surface in opposed relation and said mounting flange and said mounting ring including cooperating fastening parts which are engagable with each other between said opposed interior flange surface and ring surface by rotation of said container relative to said mounting ring, said cooperating fastening parts and said fasteners being substantially hidden by said mounting flange, wherein said container is secured to the support platform by its engagement with said mounting ring.
