Embodiment Construction

[0022] Referring to the drawings, a cup holder 10 for a vehicle (not shown) includes a container 12 having a bottom 14 and side walls 16 . The side walls 16 are offset upwardly and outwardly from the base 14 to define a cavity 18 for receiving a beverage container 20 . The cavity 18 has an open top 22 which is slightly larger than the largest beverage container 12 to be contained in the container 12 . Container 12 is made of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) or other suitable plastic material and is formed by an injection molding process.

[0023] Such as figure 1 As best shown, the outer surface of each side wall 16 includes an elongated depression 24 extending upwardly from the base 14 . Such as image 3 with Figure 4 As best shown, a smaller elongated opening 26 is provided on the upper portion 28 of each depression 24 . Each opening 26 is surrounded by a flange 30 extending outwardly from the side wall 16 . Notches 32 are formed on opposing vertical side walls 16 of eac...

Provided is a cup for vehicles. The cup for vehicles comprises at least one container and at least one supporting finger, wherein the container is provided with a base and at least one lateral wall, and the lateral wall extends upwards from the bottom to define a cavity. The lateral wall comprises at least one opening. The supporting finger is provided with an upper portion hinged to the lateral wall. A bias pressing member extends surrounding the periphery of the container to be connected with the supporting finger so as to push the supporting finger toward the cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cup holder for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a cup holder capable of supporting beverage containers of various sizes. Background technique [0002] Cup holders are commonly used in vehicles to securely hold beverage containers. They are particularly useful for stabilizing beverage containers during vehicle movement. Since beverage containers are not uniform in size, many cup holders include adjustable supports to accommodate beverage containers of various sizes. One such support device has a plurality of support members connected to the cup holder and extending radially inwardly. The support member must be able to rotate off-centre to accommodate the beverage container, but must also provide sufficient clamping force to stabilize the beverage container. The support member also needs to provide minimal resistance when inserting and removing the beverage container to avoid spillage or damage to the beverage co...
