  • Patent number: 5642843
    Abstract: A pull out and rotatable cup and can holder to receive and restrain a coffee cup and a beverage can at respective first and second openings formed through first and second sides of a round base plate. The round base plate is slidably received in and rotatable relative to a frame that is mounted below a suitable flat surface of a vehicle (e.g. a boat, and the like) that is subjected to turbulence and similar mechanical forces during operation. The round base plate slides partially out of the frame to expose either the first or second openings for receiving and restraining a cup or a can. After the round base plate has been pulled partially out of the frame, it may be simply and easily rotated 180 degrees to correspondingly rotate and reposition the first and second openings formed therethrough. Once the cup or can is removed from the cup and can holder, the round base plate may be conveniently pushed inwardly of the frame so as to be disposed at a completely out of the way location therewithin.
