Abstract

A drinking vessel retainer for use upon a seat cushion of an automobile. The retainer has a wedge shaped base to hold the vessel upright on sloping seats, and is anchored into the space between the seat and backrest cushions by a flat extension. An open ended, reversible insert, flanged inwardly at one end, enables the holder to support both large and small vessels. According to one aspect of the invention, the retainers are adapted for use in pairs connected in tandem across the seat to save space.
