An adjustable beverage container includes an outer case having a case axis. An actuator ring, is rotatably coupled to the case. The actuator ring includes an arm extension push member and an arm retraction structure. A cover ring is fixedly attached to the case. An arm having an engagement structure including a slot or tab slidingly is engaged with the arm retraction structure of the actuator ring. The arm is also rotatably attached to the case and cover ring. The arm moves into and away from said case axis when the actuator ring is rotated relative to the case about the case axis.

1. An adjustable beverage container holder comprising: an outer case having a case axis;an actuator ring, said ring rotatably coupled to said case and having an arm extension push member and an arm retraction structure;a cover ring fixedly attached to said case; andan arm having an engagement structure including a slot or tab slidingly engaged with said arm retraction structure of said actuator ring, said arm including a pivot axis having a first and second end, the first positioned in a notch of said cover ring and defining an upper pivot, the first end rotatable in the notch and the second end rotatably attached to said case, said arm including a push surface contacting said arm extension push member and said arm including a retraction track engaging said arm retraction structure;wherein said arm moves into and away from said case axis when said actuator ring is rotated relative to said case about said case axis. 2. The invention of claim 1, wherein said case has a top inner diameter area, a bottom inner diameter area and a shoulder area adjoining said top and bottom diameter areas. 3. The invention of claim 2, wherein said actuator ring is located above said shoulder area. 4. The invention of claim 1, wherein said actuator ring is located on the outside of said case. 5. The invention of claim 1, wherein said case has a top flange and a bottom flange. 6. The invention of claim 1, further comprising a dial, said dial rotatably coupled to said case and engaged with said actuator ring moving said arm into and away from said case axis when said actuator ring is rotated relative to said case about said case axis. 7. The invention of claim 1, wherein said actuator ring has a dial engaging structure. 8. The invention of claim 7, wherein said dial engaging structure is selected from the group consisting of a tab, a slot, a weld, an adhesive and combinations thereof. 9. The invention of claim 1, wherein said arm retraction structure is selected from the group consisting of a tab, a rod, a pin, a rail and a slot. 10. The invention of claim 1, wherein the first end and the second end of said pivot axis include structures selected from the group consisting of a rod, a pin, a sleeve and combinations thereof. 11. The invention of claim 1, wherein said cover ring is fixedly attached to said case using an attachment structure selected from the group consisting of a tab, a rod, a pin, a slot, an aperture and combinations thereof. 12. The invention of claim 6, wherein said dial and said actuator ring are one piece. 13. The invention of claim 1, wherein said outer case and said cover ring are one piece. 14. An adjustable beverage container holder comprising: an outer case having a case axis, a receiving slot, an outer flange, an inner flange, a top inner diameter, a bottom inner diameter and a shoulder area adjoining said top and bottom diameters;an actuator ring having a receiving slot, an extension push member and a retraction pull member, said ring located within said case and above said shoulder area;a beverage container holding arm having a retraction track, a pivot axis, a push surface and a container surface, said track slidingly engaging said pull member of said actuator ring, said pivot axis having a first end and a second end, said first end rotatably attached to said inner flange of said case, said push surface adjacent to said push member of said actuator ring and said container surface co-axial to said case axis;a cover ring having a stationary tab and an axis receiving aperture, said tab engaging said receiving slot of said case holding said cover ring stationary with respect to said case and said aperture engaging said second end of said pivot axis rotatably attaching said arm to said cover ring; anda dial having an L-shaped bracket and a tab, said L-shaped bracket engaging said outer flange of said case rotatably coupling said dial to said case and said tab engaging said slot of said actuator ring moving said holding arm into and away from said case axis when said dial is rotated relative to said case about said case axis.
