Abstract
The invention relates to a drinks holder (10) intended for installation in a dashboard of a motor vehicle. The drinks holder (10) has a pull-out part (14), which is so guided as to be displaceable in the manner of a drawer and which is provided with insertion openings (32) for inserting drinks containers such as, for example, drinks cans, beakers or cups. The invention proposes providing, at the rear of the pull-out part (14), a pivotal part (22) capable of pivoting downwards, which, when the pull-out part (14) is pushed into a housing (12), pivots downwards so that the length of the pull-out part (14) in the direction of displacement is reduced. The invention makes possible a drinks holder (10) housing (12) of short dimensions, which in the direction of displacement can be shorter than the diameter of the insertion openings (32).
