Abstract: A holder for carrying beverage containers and the like includes a bracket for releasably mounting the holder on a support and having a generally C-shaped clamp bracket portion and a generally U-shaped swing bracket portion depending from the clamp bracket portion, an adjustable clamping screw associated with the clamp bracket portion, a carrier for the container, and means for pivotally mounting the carrier to the swing bracket portion so that carrier may swing freely below the support. The clamp bracket portion permits the support to be inserted or removed from the clamp opening and defines a tapered support receiving area opposite the clamping screw so that the screw can releasably secure the support in the receiving area. The swing bracket portion includes a pair of spaced, downwardly extending arms between which the carrier is pivotally mounted.
