Abstract
In a beverage container holder for a vehicle comprising a box-like member, a first holding member, and a second holding member, the box-like member comprises a floor and generally upstanding walls defining a compartment with an opening on its top, the first holding member extends across the opening of the box-like member and divides the compartment into two parts, and the second holding member is mounted to the first holding member and moveable between a relatively retracted position and a relatively extended position. Preferably the second holding member is pivotally connected to the first holding member so as to be rotatable between the relatively retracted and extended positions. This beverage container holder can be readily adjustable for receiving and holding beverage containers of various sizes by rotating the second holding member between the relatively retracted and extended positions.
