Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of container brackets, in particular to a cup holder for water transportation. Background Art

[0002] Water skis, paddleboards, and hovercraft are emerging water vehicles that allow users to float on the water for recreational activities such as paddling, surfing, and fishing, and are therefore very popular. However, when these water skis are used while floating on the water, their surfaces sway with the water, making it difficult to place items such as cups, drinks, and mobile phones on them stably. Therefore, cup holders have emerged in the prior art that can be fixed to water skis to accommodate cups and drinks.

[0003] However, such cup holders in the prior art are usually fixed by gluing or suction cup adsorption, which has a poor fixing effect. In addition, fixing by gluing is likely to leave glue and other residues on the surface, while fixing by suction cup adsorption can only be used on flat surfaces and is difficult to use on other non-flat water vehicles.

[0004] Therefore, U.S. Patent Publication No. US11794860B1 discloses a new type of cup holder. This cup holder has a groove formed in the cup wall so that a water vehicle support rope can pass through the groove to press the cup holder against the surface of the water vehicle. However, the groove in the cup wall reduces the strength of the cup holder, shortening its service life. In addition, the cup holder may be unstable and prone to tipping over when a water bottle is placed in the cup holder. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology, the utility model provides a cup holder for water vehicles, which is intended to be stably installed on water vehicles such as paddle boards, paddle boards or air mattresses to stably store items such as water cups or drinks.

[0006] The utility model solves the technical problem by providing a cup holder for water vehicles, comprising a cup holder body with a bottom plane, wherein the bottom of the cup holder body is connected to a rope holder for passing a bracket rope to fix the cup holder body on the water vehicle.

[0007] Furthermore, the top of the rope bracket is connected to the center of the bottom of the cup holder body, and the bottom of the rope bracket is a flat surface.

[0008] Furthermore, a rope groove for hooking the rope is provided on the side wall of the rope bracket, and the rope groove is horizontally arranged through the side wall of the rope bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the rope groove projection surface is a "U"-shaped structure, and one side of the rope bracket is provided with an inclined surface extending obliquely from its bottom to one side of the rope groove.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two outwardly extending support pads are connected to the bottom edge of the cup holder body, and the bottom of the support pad is flush with the bottom of the rope bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the two sides of the support pads gradually shrink, and the two sides of two adjacent support pads are combined to form a rope opening. The rope groove is located at the rope opening and the two ends of the rope groove correspond to the rope opening.

[0012] Furthermore, the support pad is made of rubber material or silicone material.

[0013] Furthermore, the cup holder body is a cylindrical structure.

[0014] Furthermore, a hanging hole for hanging is provided on the top of the side wall of the cup holder body.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. The present invention provides a rope bracket at the bottom of the cup holder body, so that the bracket rope of a water vehicle such as a water paddle board, a paddle board or an air mattress can be hung on the rope bracket, so that the cup holder body can be stably installed on the surface of the water vehicle under the pressure of the bracket rope. This not only achieves stable storage of items such as water cups or beverages, but also does not require the use of adhesive materials such as glue, resulting in stable installation and a wide range of applications.

[0017] 2. The utility model provides an outward-expanding support pad at the bottom edge of the cup holder body, and the bottom of the support pad is flush with the bottom of the rope bracket. When the bracket rope on the water vehicle is hung on the rope bracket to fix the cup holder body, the support pad at the edge of the cup holder body can support the cup holder body, thereby preventing the cup holder body from tipping over due to floating on the water surface, and further improving the stability of the cup holder after installation.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a cup holder for watercraft is designed to stably store cans, cups, or bottled beverages for easy access while a user is engaging in water activities on a watercraft 4, such as a water paddleboard, paddleboard, or air mattress. This embodiment of the cup holder includes a cup holder body 1 with a flat bottom. While using the watercraft 4, the user can store cans, cups, or beverages in the cup holder body 1, thereby maintaining an upright position and preventing them from tipping over. The cup holder body 1 of this embodiment is provided with a rope bracket 2 at its bottom. Watercraft 4, such as water paddleboards, paddleboards, or air mattresses, typically have a taut rope 3 for maintaining stability. This rope 3 is taut and exerts a strong downward force. During installation, the cup holder body 1 can be attached to the rope bracket 2 by suspending the rope 3 from the watercraft 4. This allows the rope 3 to pull the cup holder body 1 against the watercraft 4, keeping it upright and thus ensuring stable installation.

[0028] In some embodiments, the top of the rope bracket 2 is connected to the center position of the bottom plane of the cup holder body 1, and the bottom surface of the rope bracket 2 is also a flat surface, so that when the bracket rope 3 on the water vehicle 4 is connected to the rope bracket 2, the tension provided by the bracket rope 3 can directly act on the center of gravity of the cup holder body 1, so that the cup holder body 1 can stand upright on the surface of the water vehicle 4.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rope holder 2 of this embodiment is provided with a rope groove 21 extending horizontally through the side wall of the rope holder 2. The rope groove 21 is located at the center of the rope holder 2 and is structurally compatible with the support rope 3. This allows the support rope 3 on the watercraft 4 to be hooked into the rope groove 21, thereby pulling the cup holder body 1 upright and achieving stable installation. In other embodiments, multiple rope grooves 21 may be provided, each equidistantly spaced around the center of the rope holder 2. This allows multiple support ropes 3 to be hooked into each rope groove 21 simultaneously, further enhancing the stability of the cup holder installation of this embodiment.

[0030] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the rope groove 21 of this embodiment is a "U"-shaped structure when projected, and the rope groove 21 is adapted to the structure of the bracket rope 3. This facilitates the bracket rope 3 to be hooked into the rope groove 21. Once hooked into the rope groove 21, the bracket rope 3 provides a vertical downward pulling force to the entire cup holder, thereby achieving stable installation of the cup holder body 1. In addition, an inclined surface 22 is provided on one side of the rope holder 2 of this embodiment. The inclined surface 22 gradually rises from the bottom plane of the rope holder 2 to a side edge of the rope groove 21. When the bracket rope 3 is hooked, it can move along the inclined surface 22 to fit into the rope groove 21 to secure the cup holder body 1, facilitating the hooking of the bracket rope 3.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the cup holder body 1 after installation, an outward-expanding support pad 11 is further provided at the bottom edge of the cup holder body 1 of this embodiment, wherein the bottom of the support pad 11 is flush with the bottom of the rope bracket 2, so that after the cup holder body 1 of this embodiment is installed on the water vehicle 4, the bottom of the support pad 11 and the bottom of the rope bracket 2 can be tightly attached to the surface of the water vehicle 4, thereby providing lateral stability for the cup holder body 1 and the cups, beverages, etc. therein, thereby preventing the cup holder body 1 from tipping over due to floating on the water surface.

[0032] Furthermore, at least two support pads 11 are provided, and each support pad 11 is evenly arranged at the bottom edge of the cup holder body 1, thereby providing support force in all directions for the cup holder body 1, thereby improving the stability of the cup holder body 1. In this embodiment, two support pads 11 are provided, and the two support pads 11 are symmetrically arranged, so that both sides of the cup holder body 1 can be equally supported, thereby achieving stable installation. Specifically, the two sides of each support pad 11 in this embodiment gradually converge toward the bottom of the cup holder body 1 to form an inclined edge. The two sides of the two support pads 11 are combined to form a rope opening 12 with an "eight" structure. The rope groove 21 of this embodiment is correspondingly located at the position of the rope opening 12, and the two ends of the rope groove 21 correspond to the positions of the two rope openings 12. This allows the holder rope 3 to enter the bottom of the cup holder body 1 through the rope opening 12 and then be hooked from the inclined surface 22 into the rope groove 21 to install the cup holder body 1. This installation method is convenient and stable.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support pad 11 and the cup holder body 1 can be integral or separate. The entire support pad 11 is constructed from rubber or silicone to enhance durability and increase friction, limiting the cup holder body 1 from sliding on the flat surface of the watercraft 4. Furthermore, the cup holder body 1 in this embodiment has a cylindrical structure, facilitating and providing greater stability for storing items such as cups and beverages. In other embodiments, the cup holder body 1 can also be triangular, rectangular, oval, or other polygonal shapes.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the top of the cup holder body 1 of this embodiment is also provided with a hanging hole 13, and a hanging rope can be hung on the hanging hole 13 to facilitate the user to carry it, and when not in use, it can also be hung on a hook through the hanging hole 13 for storage; in addition, keys or other small items can be stored on the hanging hole 13 by adding a climbing buckle or the like, thereby enriching the functions of this embodiment.

[0035] In summary, the working principle of this embodiment is as follows: this embodiment provides a rope bracket 2 at the bottom of the cup holder body 1, so that the bracket rope 3 on the water vehicle 4 such as a paddle board, a paddle board or an air mattress can be hung on the rope bracket 2, so that the cup holder body 1 can be stably installed on the surface of the water vehicle 4 under the pressure of the bracket rope 3, which not only achieves stable storage of items such as water cups or beverages, but also does not require the use of adhesive materials such as glue, so the installation is stable and has a wide range of applications; and, this embodiment provides an outward-expanded support pad 11 at the bottom edge of the cup holder body 1, and the bottom of the support pad 11 is flush with the bottom of the rope bracket 2, so that when the bracket rope 3 on the water vehicle 4 is hung on the rope bracket 2 to fix the cup holder body 1, the support pad 11 at the edge of the cup holder body 1 can support the cup holder body 1, thereby preventing the cup holder body 1 from tipping over due to floating on the water surface, further improving the stability of the cup holder after installation.

[0036] The embodiments described above are only preferred implementation methods of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and modifications made by technicians in this field on the basis of the utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
