The beverage holder comprising a free swinging, rigid, cylindrical frame to perpendicularly harbor a beverage container (C) contained within or not an insulated drink container sleeve (E) attaching to belt clip device (B), providing the wearer convenient mobile storage while minimizing tipping spills and further providing the user freedom of either or both hands for other activities or tasks.

Claims (4)

1. The beverage holding device for attaching a beverage to a belt comprising:

(A) a belt attachment device having a ribbed reinforced front panel having opposed walls which form a U-shaped stud track channel, a back panel for receiving the front panel, an inverted U shaped clip spring, a sear release plunger with reinforced extensions, a helical internal spring, whereby the belt attachment device may be locked onto a belt,

(B) a one piece cylindrical beverage holding frame made of rigid durable material including and oblate solid cross member plate, opposing proximal rib panels of equal vertical length and width, an annular ring attached to the rib panels, a vertical frame member attached to the annular ring, a mesial cylindrical post attached to the vertical frame member and a distal cylindrical stud button attached to the mesial cylindrical post,

(C) wherein the beverage holding frame engages the belt attachment device by sliding the mesial cylindrical post and cylindrical stud button into the U-shaped stud track channel to form a self leveling and tipping resistant, swiveling device that resists unintentional release from the belt or channel when an upward or other directional pressure is applied to the beverage holder when a user assumes a sitting, standing, or other mobile position.
