Beverage holder for a stroller or the like

A beverage container holder for association with a bar of a manually guided vehicle, said beverage container holder comprising:

• a relatively rigid, resilient, transversely flattened, generally U-configured clip having two legs that are unitarily interconnected together at one pair of adjoining respective ends by a generally arcuately extending yoke section, said clip being removably and loosely positionable over a portion of said bar with said yoke section loosely contacting a portion of said handlebar means and with said legs extending downwardly;
• one of said legs having a keyhole-shaped slot defined therethrough, said slot having an enlarged upper end portion and an interconnected elongated lower portion whose terminus is spaced from said upper end portion;
• a beverage container receptacle comprising a frame portion and an insulative sleeve portion,
• said frame portion being a unitarily formed structure having an upper portion with a mouth defined therein, a bottom portion, and side portions extending between said upper portion and said bottom portion,
• said frame portion further having a flange portion that extends downwardly from said upper portion in outwardly spaced relationship to said side portions, and
• said insulative sleeve portion extending exteriorly over said side portions and in non-overlying relationship relative to said flange portion;
• said receptacle having a stub shaft projecting transversely outwardly from said flange portion, said stub shaft having an enlarged outer head portion;
• and
• said outer head portion being receivable through said enlarged upper end portion and thereafter said stub shaft being cooperatively and slidably movable in said lower portion to abutment with said terminus, whereby said receptacle is removably engagable with said clip.

A beverage holder for association with a handlebar of a manually guided vehicle, said beverage holder comprising:

• (a) a relatively rigid, resilient, transversely flattened, generally U-configured, unitarily formed clip, said clip having two legs that are interconnected together at one pair of adjoining upper respective ends by a generally arcuately extending yoke section, said yoke section being removably positionable over a portion of said handlebar with said legs downwardly depending therefrom;
• (b) a receptacle for a beverage container, said receptacle having a mouth at an upper end, an opposed bottom, and intervening side walls defining a cavity radially therewithin, said receptacle being generally cross-sectionally circular, said receptacle comprising:
• a cage-type, relatively rigid, resilient skeletal frame defining said mouth, said bottom and said side walls, said frame having a downturned outer lip extending in adjacent radially spaced relationship circumferentially around said mouth, said frame being comprised of relatively rigid, resilient, unitarily formed plastic, and
• a sleeve circumferentially positioned about portions of said side walls, said sleeve being comprised of elastomeric, foamed plastic;
• (c) a stub shaft unitarily and radially projecting transversely outwardly from a portion of said lip, said stub shaft having an enlarged flattened, peripherally circular outer head portion;
• (d) a keyhole-shaped slot defined through one of said legs, said slot having an enlarged upper end portion and an interconnected elongated lower portion relative to said one leg, said lower portion having a width and a terminus that is spaced from said upper end portion;
• (e) said outer head portion being receivable through said enlarged upper end portion and thereafter said stub shaft being cooperatively and slidably movable in said lower portion until abutment of said stub shaft with said terminus occurs, whereby said receptacle is removably engagable with said clip;
• and
• (f) said stub shaft being cross-sectionally configured as a regular polygon, and the diametrical spacing between opposing pairs of sides to said polygon being about equal to the width of said elongated lower portion, whereby, when said outer end portion is so received through said enlarged upper end portion, said stub shaft can be angularly oriented relative to said elongated lower portion and a selected pair of said sides is slidably engagable with and movable in said lower portion, so that the angular orientation of said receptacle relative to said clip is selectable .
