Abstract: A displaceable hinge (28), of particular use in a carrier (10) for a beverage container to allow use of the carrier (10) with different sizes of beverage container, comprises a first member (12) passing through an aperture in a second member (14), the first member being elongate to allow displacement of the second member relatively to the first member, at least one of the first and second members being resiliently deformable to allow pivoting of the second member relatively to the first member, and the aperture being bound by two side portions (30) located by opposite side faces (32) of the first member (12) and two end portions (34) located by opposite end faces (36) of the first member (12), the side portions (30) being offset from one another along the length of the first member and end protrusions (38) extending from the end portions (34) inwardly of the aperture also being offset from one another along the length of the first member, the side portions (30) and the end protrusions (38) being spaced in qua

Abstract: A carrier comprises a holder 10 extending from a body 14 securable to a support, the holder defining an opening 16 for receiving a beverage container. The carrier may be formed of a plastics material. The holder includes a pair of arms 12 which are resiliently deformable for retaining a wine glass, and the holder is pivotally mounted to the body for movement between an operative position, and an inoperative position in which there is a retentive interference fit between the arms and the body. A lower base 38 is provided to help retain a canned drink, and an upper flange 46 is provided to help retain by cantilever action a plate on the holder. The body is releasably secured to a support by a removable rigid tongue 52 for insertion between the window and the body of a vehicle door.

Abstract: A combined plate and glass holder comprises support means presenting a first area for use as a plate, and a second area for use as a glass holder, the first and second areas being distinguishable by location-defining means, and the second area being located adjacent to an edge of the support means over which, in use, a thumb of a hand extends to press against a glass placed on the second area, with the fingers of the hand pressing against the support means from underneath.
