Abstract:
A beverage container holder for a vehicle comprising:a beverage container holding unit having a floor and generally upstanding walls defining a compartment with a rectangular opening on its top;a first holding member which extends across the opening of the beverage container holding unit and divides the compartment into two parts,a second holding member which is mounted to the first holding member and moveable between a relatively retracted position and a relatively extended position, in which the second holding member protrudes laterally outwardly from the first holding member wherein when in the relatively retracted position, the second holding member defines a first container opening adapted to hold a relatively large beverage container, and when in the relatively extended position, the second holding member defines a second container opening smaller than the first container opening, the second container opening adapted to hold a relatively small beverage container that is smaller in diameter relative to the relatively large beverage container by creating a smaller cross-sectional area of the second container opening into which the relatively large beverage container no longer is able to be inserted.
