US 9,802,522 B2 · Vehicle beverage holder

Abstract

A holder for a vehicle that temporarily holds and continuously adjusts the orientation of a beverage container filled with a liquid that prevents spills as the vehicle is moving. The holder includes a base with an upper hole with a smooth perimeter edge and a suspended beverage container vessel that fits into the upper hole and rests against the perimeter edge. The container vessel includes a downward extending, half-spherical upper member and a lower neck. Formed inside the container vessel is a center bore that receives a complimentary shaped beverage container. The upper member and the perimeter edge on the base are configured to form a gripping space between the beverage container and the upper member. When the lower neck is placed inside the upper hole, the base's perimeter edge supports the upper member and allows the vessel to swivel freely when a beverage container is placed in the vessel.
