  • Patent number: 4294384
    Abstract: A liquid dispenser holder includes a cradle and cradle attachment means the former of which receives and holds an air pot and the latter of which provides stationary attachment of the cradle to a vehicle seat, transmission shroud, or floor. In one embodiment of the invention, the cradle comprises a base and a collar above the base. The cradle attachment means are a pair of elongate legs extending from the base. An extension of the collar provides a platform for supporting a receptacle in position under an air pot dispensing spout and the legs and underside of the base form a saddle for sitting the holder over a vehicle transmission shroud. Upon setting an air pot on the base, the air pot is held in place by the collar and dispensing fluids from the pot with a single hand is readily accomplished.
