Holder for beverage containers in a motor vehicle

The holder includes a support (34) turning about a horizontal axis, to support the drink container receiver (22) in the use position. When the receiver is turned through 180 degrees to the not-in-use position, the support is turned to rest against the carriage (16). In the support position, the support rests on the upper edge of a casing (12) of the holder (10), locking the carriage.
