Abstract: A cup and holder assembly including a cover wherein the assembly may be mounted on a surface such as the dashboard of a vehicle to provide the driver or passengers in the vehicle with a drinking cup which may be secured in the holder to prevent spillage of the contents in the cup which may be coffee or may be coins carried for the payment of tolls. The holder has a generally flat bottom surface to which a double adhesive panel may be bonded to permit attachment of the holder to the dashboard and has a cylindrical outer wall for retaining the cup when the cup is positioned in the holder. Two generally vertical slots are diametrically opposed in the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall and at the bottom of each slot are circumferential slots extending in opposite directions from the vertical slots with said circumferential slots tapered to narrower widths away from the vertical slots.
