  • Patent number: 9211828
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cup holder that is capable of preventing a drawing portion from being pushed and retracted while maintaining a state in which a cup is held. A retraction preventing portion is formed on an interior face of a bottom face of the holder case, and a protrusion is formed so as to be oriented to the bottom face's side of the holder case at a rear end part of a turnable holding arm portion that is provided at a drawing portion. In the case where an attempt is made to retract the drawing portion while maintaining the state in which the cup is held, the protrusion abuts against the retraction preventing portion, and retraction of the drawing portion can be prevented.
