    Abstract: A collapsible holder for a container having a plate-like base member and a plate-like support member. The support member has a hole therethrough along an axis perpendicular to an upwardly facing surface on the base member. Yieldable force-generating structure is interconnected between the base member and the support member for continually urging the support member and the base member from a first position wherein the base member and support members are in a mutually adjacent relation with little or no space therebetween to a second position vertically spaced from each other while maintaining the upwardly facing relation of the surface on the base member. A releasable latch structure is provided for holding the base member and the support member in the aforesaid first position. Thus, upon a release of the latch structure, the force-generating structure will urge a separation of the base member and support member to the aforesaid second position.
