Abstract:
1. A drinking vessel holder comprising: a housing; a drinking vessel receptacle arranged in the housing; a height-adjustable bottom element, wherein the bottom element is arranged in the drinking vessel receptacle and can be displaced between an upper rest position and a lower set-down position, wherein a drinking vessel can be set down on the bottom element in the drinking vessel receptacle; a positionally adjustable supporting element, wherein the supporting element in the set-down position extends above the drinking vessel receptacle and prevents the drinking vessel from toppling over, wherein the bottom element in the drinking vessel receptacle forms a first piston or else is connected to a first piston and the supporting element forms an annular piston between the housing and the drinking vessel receptacle or else is connected to at least one second piston, wherein downward movement of at least one of the first piston, the second piston, and the annular piston causes at least one of fluid-overpressure and fluid underpressure; and a latching engagement, wherein when the bottom element is depressed into the set-down position, at least one of the bottom element and the supporting element latches, via the latching engagement, at least one of the housing and the drinking vessel receptacle and prevents a movement of the bottom element into the rest position, and the latching engagement is produced by a swivelable adjusting lever which is vertically disposed between the drinking vessel receptacle and the supporting element and by a latching element which is coupled thereto and is horizontally disposed below the bottom element.
