  • Patent number: 8894030
    Abstract: A drink container holding apparatus includes an object attachment device (40) including a holder engagement element (5), and a drink container holder (31) including attachment device engagement member (30) to engage with the holder engagement element (5). The holder engagement element (5) and the attachment device engagement member (30) allow relative angular movement between the object attachment device (40) and the holder (31) in a selected plane. The holder (31) and the object attachment device (40) can be engaged or disengaged by orientating the holder engagement element (5) and the attachment device engagement member (30) in a pre-determined relative angular disposition in the selected plane, and moving the attachment device engagement member (30) and holder engagement element (5) relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the selected plane.
