Abstract
A cup holder accessory for supporting an over-size drink cup in a standard-size drink cup receptacle, is provided with a base element that cooperates with the standard-size drink cup receptacle, with an over-size drink cup receptacle supported by and rotatable relative to the base element, a cam element positioned within the base element and rotated and projected outside the base element when the over-size drink cup receptacle is rotated relative to the base element, and a fastener element joining the base element, the over-size drink cup receptacle element, and the cam element into a unitary assembly.
Claims6
A cup holder accessory for supporting an over-size drink cup in a standard-size cup receptacle comprising:
- a base element having a longitudinal axis;
- an over-size cup receptacle element having a longitudinal axis and being rotatably supported upon said base element;
- a cam element positioned within said base element, having an axis of rotation, being rotationally connected to said over-size cup receptacle element and projecting outside said base element when rotated;
- and
- a fastener element joining said base element, said over-size cup receptacle element, and said cam element into a unitary assembly, said cam element axis of rotation being aligned with said over-size cup receptacle longitudinal axis, and said cam element and said over-size cup receptacle longitudinal axis each being laterally offset with respect to said base element longitudinal axis.
A cup holder accessory for supporting an over-size drink cup in a standard-size cup receptacle comprising:
- a base extension element having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a base element having a longitudinal axis and attached to the bottom surface of said base extension element;
- an over-size cup receptacle element having a longitudinal axis and attached to the top surface of said base extension element;
- a cam element having an axis of rotation positioned within said base element, being rotationally connected to said base extension element and movable between a first position in which it resides with said base element and a second position in which it projects beyond said base element;
- a fastener element joining said base element, said base extension element, and said cam element into a unitary assembly;
- said cam element axis of rotation being aligned with the axis of rotation of said base extension element, and wherein said over-size cup receptacle element longitudinal axis is laterally displaced relative to said base element longitudinal axis.
