Holding device for a food and/or beverage container and automotive vehicle with such a holding device

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 locks in the retract position by the stop arm. The housing opening and for a down position of the stop arm is partly released. The multipart arrangement (15) has several mobile receptacles stored at the housing and covered. In a first direction of motion (26 ') of the housing opening (14) the receptacles are released to an open position and are independently movable into a closing position (ST). The screens (16, 17, 18) in a second direction of motion (26) from the closing position (ST) into the open position (OT) 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.
