Floor mounted container holder assembly for a vehicle

摘要

A container holder assembly (20) for use in a vehicle for support of an elongated container (22) in a substantially vertical orientation. The holder assembly (20) comprises a base (24) having a wall (28), and a substantially rigid retaining collar (26). The collar (26) is mounted to the base (24) and defines an opening (30) dimensioned to receive the container (22) therethrough. A flexible sleeve (32) is mounted to the collar (26) and extends around and downwardly from the collar (26) to define a passageway (34) which is formed to receive the container (22) when positioned through the opening (30). An elastic band (36) is mounted to one of the base (24) and the sleeve (32) and is positioned below the retaining collar (26). Further, the band (36) extends around the passageway (34) and is sufficiently resilient to substantially perimetrically and laterally support the container (22) about a midportion thereof.
