摘要： An apparatus and method for removably holding a liquid beverage container in a vibratory environment of the type created by a moving vehicle, such as an automobile, an airplane, or the like. The apparatus includes a housing having a base wall and a partially enclosing side wall forming an interior chamber. Mounted on the enclosing side wall in the interior chamber is a bracket which removably receives a gimbal structure. Mounted on the gimbal structure is a retaining member which has an encircling side wall sized to removably retain the beverage container. The housing is integral in construction and is provided with a trough at its lower end in order to receive and collect any liquid spillage. The gimbal structure will permit the beverage container to automatically shift its position relative to the housing to maintain a relatively vertical position and thereby compensate for any shifting of the attitude of the vehicle and to compensate for vibratory movement imposed on or created by the vehicle.
