Description
- The present invention relates generally to beverage containers. Beverage holders of such a kind are known per se.
- They are used for holding one or two beverage containers in a motor vehicle. Beverage containers may be a beverage can, a cup, a beaker or the like.
- A beverage holder for two beverage containers is known from DE 44 29 515 C1. The known beverage holder has a cylindrical recess as receiver for insertion of a beverage container. The known beverage holder also has a holding ring formed by two holding arms which can be folded together. By means of a slideway, the holding ring can be displaced upwards and laterally pivoted into a holding position in which the holding ring is located above and laterally offset with respect to the receiver. In the holding position, a second beverage container can be inserted into the holding ring. In a home position, the holding ring (folded together) is located in the receiver; the receiver cannot be used.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a beverage holder that can be used in a variety of ways.
- The beverage holder according to the invention has a receiver which is open to the top for insertion of a beverage container, “to the top” being understood with reference to the intended installation position of the beverage holder. The receiver can be, for example, a cylindrical recess. The beverage holder according to the invention moreover has a holding ring, which in a home position is located at the upper periphery of the receiver, where it does not impede insertion of a beverage container into the receiver or its removal. The holding ring does not have to be closed; it is sufficient for the holding ring to engage around, and laterally support, an inserted beverage container to the extent that the beverage container is held in all directions laterally. In the home position the holding ring does not have any function per se; it is accommodated in space-saving manner. In contrast to the beverage holder known from DE 44 29 515 C1, the beverage holder according to the invention can be used for insertion of a beverage container when the holding ring is in the home position.
- The holding ring of the beverage holder according to the invention can be brought into a first holding position, in which it is located laterally above the receiver. In the first holding position, a beverage container can be inserted into the receiver of the beverage holder and a second beverage container can be inserted beside it laterally (and higher) in the holding ring. The beverage holder according to the invention is accordingly suitable for holding two beverage containers.
- The holding ring of the beverage holder according to the invention can moreover be brought into a second holding position, in which it is located above the receiver for insertion of the beverage container although not laterally offset with respect to the receiver but rather in register with or in any event approximately in register with the receiver. When the holding ring is in the second holding position, a beverage container can be inserted into the beverage holder, the beverage container being inserted through the holding ring and into the receiver. The holding ring located above the receiver holds the inserted beverage container at a greater height.
- As a result, the beverage container according to the invention is suitable for insertion of a relatively tall beverage container such as, for example, a bottle, which would not otherwise be held in the receiver with sufficient security against tipping.
- The beverage holder according to the invention has the advantage that it can be accommodated in an installation space required for a beverage holder for holding only one beverage container, the beverage holder according to the invention being suitable for holding, as desired, one or two beverage containers or for holding a relatively tall beverage container, which is laterally supported and held at a greater height by the holding ring when located in the second holding position.
- In an embodiment of the invention a slideway is provided by means of which the holding ring is guided so that it can be displaced upwards. Slideways of such a kind are known in various constructional forms; for example, a telescopic guide means is also suitable.
- In an embodiment of the invention a pivotal mounting is provided, by means of which the holding ring is guided so that it can be pivoted to the side. In a development, a pivotal mounting having a horizontal pivot axis is provided; accordingly, in one holding position one end face of the holding ring is to the top and in the other holding position the other end face of the holding ring is to the top. A pivotal mounting constitutes a simple possible means for movably guiding the holding ring to the side.
- In an embodiment of the invention a releasable connection for the holding ring is provided. The holding ring located in the home position at the upper periphery of the receiver of the beverage holder can be released and fixed to the beverage holder above the receiver. In that arrangement, fixing in the first holding position laterally offset with respect to the receiver and in the second holding position in register with or substantially in register with the receiver is possible. This embodiment of the invention makes possible a simple construction of the beverage holder having, in the simplest case, only two parts, namely the beverage holder with the receiver itself and, as the second part, the holding ring.
- The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the present invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
- FIGS. 1 to 6 show, in perspective views, a first exemplary embodiment of a beverage holder according to the invention in various positions;
- FIGS. 7 to 9 show a second exemplary embodiment of a beverage holder according to the invention in various positions; and
- FIGS. 10 to 13 show, in perspective views, a third exemplary embodiment of a beverage holder according to the invention in various positions.
- The
beverage holder 10 according to the invention which is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is integrated into a central console 12 (a fragment of which is shown in the drawings) of a motor vehicle (not otherwise shown). Thebeverage holder 10 has a cylindrical recess, which forms areceiver 14 for insertion of a beverage container such as, for example, a beverage can, a beaker or a cup. Thebeverage container 10 moreover has aholding ring 16, which in its home position (shown inFIG. 1 ) is arranged at the upper periphery of thereceiver 14. - In the shown exemplary embodiment of the invention, in its home position the
holding ring 16 lies in an annular step-shaped extension 18 to thereceiver 14 at the upper periphery thereof (seeFIGS. 2 and 3 ); it is recessed in thecentral console 12 so that it is flush therewith. By means of a pivotal mounting (not shown in the drawing), theholding ring 16 is pivotally mounted at the upper end of aslider 20. Theslider 20 is of a flat shape and curved in accordance with the diameter of thereceiver 14. Theslider 20 is arranged in a cut-out at the periphery of thereceiver 14. Theslider 20 is, by means of aslideway 22, guided at thebeverage holder 10 so that it is vertically displaceable, theslideway 22 being in the form of a key-and-keyway guide means. In the home position, which is shown inFIG. 1 , theslider 20 is recessed in thecentral console 12 and at the top terminates flush with thecentral console 12. - Displacement of the
slider 20 in an upwards direction causes theholding ring 16 to be brought into a holding position in which it is located above thereceiver 14, there being two holding positions—namely a holding position shown inFIG. 2 and referred to hereinafter as the second holding position, in which theholding ring 16 is located above thereceiver 14 and in register therewith, and a first holding position, shown inFIG. 3 , in which theholding ring 16 has been pivoted about thehorizontal pivot axis 21 of the pivotal mounting to a side of theslider 20 that is remote from thereceiver 14. In the latter holding position, theholding ring 16 is located above thereceiver 14 and laterally offset with respect thereto. Below theholding ring 16 in the first holding position there is a shallowcylindrical depression 24 for accommodating the base of an inserted beverage container. - As can be seen in
FIG. 4 , when theholding ring 16 is in the first position, a beverage container, for example a beverage can 26, can be inserted in thereceiver 14 and a second beverage container, for example also a beverage can 28, can be inserted in theholding ring 16; thebeverage holder 10 according to the invention can accordingly hold twobeverage containers FIG. 5 , when theholding ring 16 is in the home position, a beverage container, for example abeaker 30, can be inserted into thereceiver 14 of thebeverage holder 10. In the second holding position, a relatively tall beverage container, for example abottle 32, can, as shown inFIG. 6 , be inserted through theholding ring 16 and into thereceiver 14 of thebeverage holder 10. Theholding ring 16 located above the receiver laterally supports thebottle 32 at a greater height so that thebottle 32 is held in thebeverage holder 10 in a manner that precludes tipping. - In the case of the
beverage holder 10 according to the invention which is shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, thepivotal mounting 34, by means of which theholding ring 16 is pivotally mounted and guided on theslider 20, has avertical pivot axis 21. Otherwise, thebeverage holder 10 shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 is constructed in the same manner as thebeverage holder 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 and it functions in the same way. In order to avoid repetitions, reference is made to the above explanations of thebeverage holder 10 of FIGS. 1 to 6 for an explanation of the beverage holder of FIGS. 8 to 9. Like components are provided with like reference numerals. - The
beverage holder 10 according to the invention which is shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 has a releasable connection for theholding ring 16. In the exemplary embodiment of the invention which is shown and described the releasable connection is in the form of a bayonet connection. Other releasable connections are possible. - As can be seen especially in
FIG. 11 , the holdingring 16 of thebeverage holder 10 has two downwardly pointingprojections 36. Theprojections 36 are cylindrical; they have the same radius as the holdingring 16; they each extend over about 90° in the circumferential direction and are arranged located opposite one another. On its periphery, thereceiver 14 of thebeverage holder 10 shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 has cut-outs 38 complementary to theprojections 36. When it is in its home position shown inFIG. 10 , the holdingring 16 lies in the annular step-shapedextension 18 at the upper periphery of thereceiver 14, as in the case of the previously described exemplary embodiments of the invention, and terminates flush with thecentral console 12. Theprojections 36 of the holdingring 16 are located in the cut-outs 38 of thereceiver 14. - In order to bring the holding
ring 16 into the holding positions, it is pulled upwards and out from the receiver 14 (FIG. 11 ) and brought into the two holding positions as shown inFIGS. 12 and 13 . The bayonet connection of the holdingring 16 hasgrooves 40 extending in a circumferential direction at the bottom ends of theprojections 36 remote from the holdingring 16. Thegrooves 40 co-operate withribs 42, which are arranged in the annular step-shaped extension at the upper periphery of thereceiver 14 and in thedepression 24, which is located laterally next to thereceiver 14. Theribs 42 in thereceiver 14 are offset by 90° in a circumferential direction relative to the cut-outs 38 in thereceiver 14 for theprojections 36 of the holdingring 16. For fixing in the first holding position, theprojections 36 of the holdingring 16 are inserted in thedepression 24 and, as a result of rotation through about 90°, thegrooves 40 on theprojections 36 of the holdingring 16 are brought into engagement with theribs 42, that is to say thebayonet connection ring 16 is connected to thebeverage holder 10 in the first holding position. As in FIGS. 1 to 9, when it is in the first holding position, which is shown inFIG. 13 , the holdingring 16 of thebeverage holder 10 of FIGS. 10 to 13 is located above and laterally offset with respect to thereceiver 14, above thedepression 24. - In the second holding position, which is shown in
FIG. 12 , thegrooves 40 on theprojections 36 of the holdingring 16 are, as a result of rotation through 90°, brought into engagement with theribs 42 of thereceiver 14, that is to say thebayonet connection ring 16 is releasably connected to thebeverage holder 10. In the second holding position the holding ring is located above thereceiver 14, in register therewith. - It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the types described above.
- While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a beverage holder, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
- Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.
- What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.
