Abstract
A container holder for securing to a mounting surface and for receiving and retaining a container includes an elongate lash member having first lash member end and a second lash member end; a first lash member attachment mechanism secured to the first lash member end; a second lash member attachment mechanism secured to the second lash member end; and a container receiving pouch structure suspended substantially vertically from the horizontal elastic retaining lash. The lash member preferably is formed of elastic material, so that the lash member can be stretched to fit around and resiliently engage containers of various sizes, and to pull the container against the mounting surface, enhancing container support by increasing friction between the mounting surface and the container.
