Holding device for a beverage container

Abstract

A holding device for a beverage container has a carriage displaceable back and forth in a manner of a drawer between an inserted position and an extended position in which a beverage container is placeable on the carriage; a first holding element which is movably attached to the carriage; a control track arrangement for moving the holding element in an upward direction when the carriage is being extended and/or back in a downward direction when the carriage is being inserted, and in a moved-up position provides a lateral support for a beverage container placed on the carriage in the extended position, and a second control track arrangement which is offset from the first control track arrangement in a direction of displacement of the carriage, for moving the holding element in an upward and/or downward direction when the carriage is being extended and inserted.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:  
     
         1 . A holding device for a beverage container, comprising a carriage displaceable back and forth in a manner of a drawer between an inserted position and an extended position in which a beverage container is placeable on said carriage; a holding element which is movably attached to said carriage; a first control track arrangement for moving said holding element in an upward direction when said carriage is being extended and/or back in a downward direction when said carriage is being inserted, and in a moved-up position provides a lateral support for a beverage container placed on said carriage in said extended position; and a second control track arrangement which is offset from said first control track arrangement in a direction of displacement of said carriage, for moving said holding element in an upward and/or downward direction when said carriage is being extended and inserted.  
     
     
         2 . A holding device as defined in  claim 1;  and further comprising means for guiding said holding element and moving said holding element relative to said carriage in an upward direction and in an extension direction of said carriage when said carriage is being extended.  
     
     
         3 . A holding device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said means for guiding said holding element has a pivot lever which is pivotally connected at said carriage and at said holding element.  
     
     
         4 . A holding device as defined in  claim 2 , wherein means for guiding said holding element has a guide track arrangement.  
     
     
         5 . A holding device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said holding device has two said holding elements for one beverage container, said holding elements being movable in an upward direction wherein said carriage is being extended and in the moved-up position provide a lateral support to a beverage container placed on said carriage, at different locations on a periphery of the container.  
     
     
         6 . A holding device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said carriage has a support surface having cut-outs for accommodating feet of a beverage container placed on said carriage.
