Device for holding beverages

Abstract

A device for holding beverages for installing in a motor vehicle, comprising a holder having an insertion opening for insertion of a beverage container, a spring element, two diameter-compensating elements both pivoting under an action of the spring element into the insertion opening, the two diameter-compensating elements extending to different extents into the insertion opening and having pivot axes with different spacings from a circumference of the insertion opening.

1 . A device for holding beverages for installing in a motor vehicle, comprising a holder having an insertion opening for insertion of a beverage container; spring means; two diameter-compensating elements both pivoting under an action of said spring means into said insertion opening, said two diameter-compensating elements extending to different extents into said insertion opening and having pivot axes with different spacings from a circumference of said insertion opening.  
   
   
       2 . A device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said pivot axes of said two diameter-compensating elements are parallel to one another.  
   
   
       3 . A device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein one of said diameter-compensating elements is pivotally mounted on the other of said diameter compensating elements.  
   
   
       4 . A device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said pivot axes of said diameter-compensating elements extend parallel to a notional tangent of said insertion opening.
