Holding device for a food or beverage container

The retaining mechanism has a housing taken up to a retract position in the housing by a stop arm and a receptacle element for a container and with a housing opening assigned which lock in the retract position of the stop arm. The housing opening and for a down position of the stop arm is partly released. The multipart arrangement has several mobile receptacles stored at the housing and covered. In a first direction of motion of the housing opening the receptacles are released to an open position and are independently movable into a closing position. The screens in a second direction of motion from the closing position into the open position are moderately movement coupled with one another. The moderate movement coupling of the screens in the second direction of motion has a coupling mechanism for the screens. A lever (21) is tiltably stored at the housing (2) and bolts and release mechanics allow mechanism to move.
