  • Publication number: 20130264440
    Abstract: The invention creates a storage option that can be set up individually and sits securely on a sandy subsurface, whereby the placement of beverage vessels is achieved in a service-friendly manner. The tray used for this purpose is held in a stable manner, yet can be removed. For this purpose, a storage element that can be set up as a cup holder above the subsurface is proposed as a two-part system. A straight mandrel is provided, comprising an upper and a lower section, wherein the lower section is adapted for being turned or inserted into the subsurface. At a certain height above the end of the lower section, the straight mandrel has a horizontally extending structure which is adapted and suitable as a holding support for the tray-like storage element. The storage element has an opening, which is guided over the upper section of the mandrel in order to rest on the horizontal structure and be held there.
