  • Patent number: 6474611
    Abstract: A device for holding a container adjacent to a vehicular vent for allowing air expelled from the vent to either heat or cool the container. The device for holding a container adjacent to a vehicular vent includes a first annular member for removably receiving a container. The annular member has an inner surface and an outer surface. A plurality of flanges is integrally coupled to the inner surface of the annular member and extends toward a central portion of the annular member. A first coupler removably couples the first annular member to slats of a vehicular vent. The first coupler comprises a first and second tubular member. Each of the first and second tubular members is elongate and has a first end and a second end. A bar is integrally coupled to each of the second ends of the first and second tubular members such that the first and second tubular members are spaced from each other and extend away from the bar in a generally parallel direction with respect to each other.
