A container holder has a fixed arcuate housing and an arcuate arm which is pivotally mounted to the fixed housing. The pivoted arm includes a first spring to move the pivot arm from a stored position to a use position and a second spring urging the pivot arm toward the fixed housing. The pivot arm includes a tapered entry surface such that a container deflects the pivoted arm as it is adjustably held to move the pivoted arm to a desired diameter corresponding to that of the cylindrical diameter of the container inserted therein. In one embodiment, a pivoted bail extends beneath the aperture defined by the fixed housing and pivoted arm which lockably engages an end of the pivoted arm with a force determined by the weight of the container positioned on the supporting bail.
