Abstract

A holder for beverage containers has a back panel flanged for flush mounting on an upstanding support surface and a pivoting base panel and clamp member pivotable between forward extending use positions wherein they can support and grip a beverage container, and a folded non-use position. Movement between these positions is resiliently resisted by a generally square pin-in-hole connection surrounded by circumferentially spaced slots spaced from corresponding edges of the holes by thin, resiliently bendable, leaves deflectable by corners on the pins.
