PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily move a beverage container into and out of a container storage part and to prevent the beverage container from being deformed or damaged. SOLUTION: A container retainer 20 is swingably disposed in a sliding support member 32 slidably disposed on an outer wall surface of a container storage member 10 that defines the container storage part 12, so that the container retainer 20 is allowed to move back and forth relative to the container storage part 12. The container retainer 20 is normally biased forward in the direction to approach the container storage part 12 as the sliding support member 32 is biased by a compression spring 38. Thus, when the beverage container is moved into or out of the container storage part 12, the container retainer 20 is displaced by swinging and/or displaced by moving back and forth to reduce the force to press against and retain the beverage container.
