Abstract

Abstract A beverage receptacle holder is formed by a planar, rigid, rectangular body portion having a generally circular horizontal base portion normal to the plane of the body portion and having a pair of arms, horizontally secured in circular fashion at one end to one surface of the body and terminating in end abutting relation opposite the body and in spaced relation with respect to the container supporting base. The rectangular body portion is provided with a plurality of transverse, horizontally disposed slots and pairs of vertically disposed, horizontally spaced slots between the horizontal slots so that any one or a pair of the several slots may receive elongated strap-like members having hook-and-loop fabric securing material bonded thereto for embracing structural elements or each other and maintaining the beverage holder in an upright position on any one of a plurality of structural elements.
