Abstract: A method for holding a cup in a vehicle so that it can be accessed by a person operating the vehicle in which the cup is suspended from the vehicle mirror or like attachment point. The cup is positioned on a flat base which includes a vertical column extending upwardly therefrom along one edge. A cantilever arm extends outwardly from the vertical column to a point over the central portion of the base and over the cup positioned thereon. A semi-flexible member extends from the cantilever arm upwardly to a hook which hooks over the vehicle mirror or like suspensions point.

Abstract: A cup holder comprising a base for supporting a cup or the like to an edge of which a cantilever support is rigidly connected and extends upwardly over the base. A semi-flexible elongate strip is connected at one end to the cantilever arm at a point approximately over the center of the base. The semi-flexible elongate strip includes a hook at the other end for suspending the cup holder from a vehicle mirror or the like.
