TL;DR: In this paper, a vehicle dashboard is used to hold a beverage dispenser in inverted dispensing position, with a dispensing valve at the bottom end (when inverted) of the dispenser.
Abstract: A beverage dispenser holder which is adapted for ready installation on a vehicle dashboard, such as an automobile dashboard, and which may be easily removed for installation in another vehicle, when desired, includes a body portion for holding the dispenser in dispensing position, a strip of material for supporting the body portion to an upper surface of the vehicle dashboard, as by a hook and loop type fastener, and strip means for holding the body portion to (and away from) a lower portion of the dashboard, preferably also by a hook and loop fastener. It is preferred that the holder be of a synthetic organic polymeric material of suitable strength and flexibility for the desired purpose and that the beverage dispenser be held in inverted dispensing position, with a dispensing valve at the bottom end (when inverted) thereof. The holder preferably includes means for supporting a cup below the beverage dispenser and the strips for fastening onto upper and lower portions of the dashboard may be transversely scored or weakened to facilitate cutting or bending, as desired, so as to conform to the dashboard. Also within the invention are a combination of a beverage dispenser and a holder, as described, installed on a vehicle dashboard, and a dispensing valve-seal combination for a beverage container, especially useful for dispensing beverage from such a container, in inverted position.
