Abstract
Abstract A holder for holding a beverage can in such a manner that one may use the holder as a stein in drinking the beverage from the can. The holder includes a dish for supporting the can, a post extending upwardly of the dish, a handle pivoted to the top of the post and a bar slidably mounted for inward-outward movement in the top of the post. A latch is provided at the bottom of the handle that, when the handle is swung downwardly, extends through a slot on the post and bears against the can to restrain the can against movement on the dish. A connection is provided between the handle and the bar that is so constructed as to move the bar inwardly over the top of the can when the handle is swung downwardly to also restrain the can against movement on the dish.
