Abstract

A removable device for holding beverage containers, drinking vessels, or the like, especially in motor vehicles, includes a lower support part, a receiving element located higher up with a fastening component connected thereto, and at least one connecting arm extending between the support part and the receiving element. In order for the device, which exhibits good function and simple operation, to be storable compactly in the motor vehicle when not in use, provision is made such that the connecting arm and support part are made foldable and movable from an unfolded use position into a folded lowered resting position within the receiving element.
