Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cup holder of the kind which can be used together with a preferably conical disposable cup, a glass or the like, said cup holder having two protruding, flexible arms for retaining the cup said arms being moreover provided with a handle.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a cup holder of this kind which is just as good at retaining cups as the known holder but which moreover is of a simpler design and therefore is cheaper in manufacture.
  • the characteristic feature of the cup holder according to the invention is that the underside of the arms is provided with a supporting surface which - together with the bottom of the cup - is intended to abut on a support such as a tabletop.
  • the handle can have sub ⁇ stantially the same height as the arms.
  • the structure is thereby further simplified.
  • the cup holder can moreover be characteristic in that the underside of the handle is also provided with a supporting surface which can abut on the support. The stability of the cup holder against overturning is thereby increased.
  • the cup holder can be characteristic in that the handle is substantially U-shaped and arranged between the arms, ie. the arms form the extension of the flanges or arms of the U.
  • the handle is substantially U-shaped and arranged between the arms, ie. the arms form the extension of the flanges or arms of the U.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a cup and a cup holder according to the invention with the cup placed inside the cup holder,
  • Fig. 2 is an inclined bottom view of a cup holder according to the invention.
  • Fig. 3 is a top view of the cup holder seen in Fig. 2.
  • the cup holder shown in Fig. 1 reveals a handle 1 and one of two protruding, flexible arms 2 encircling a cup 3.
  • the cup 3 is so arranged in the holder that the bottom of the cup is substan ⁇ tially flush with the supporting surface 7 of the cup holder. This will afford a highly stable combination between cup and holder partly because of the lowest possible mutual centre of gravity and partly because the handle 1 will also contribute to the support.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 which can be seen together show more clearly the design of the cup holder.
  • the second flexible arm 2' is positioned symmetrically with the first arm 2 and at their outer ends they form between themselves a slot 4.
  • the branches 5, 5' are seen to make an acute angle with the bottom 6. This ensures an advantageous spring action of the handle 1. Moreover, the cup holder becomes highly useful because the design of the handle 1 will guarantee a firm grasp for small as well as big fingers.
  • the cup holder according to the invention can advantageously be manufactured of several different materials because the applied design of the handle 1 will ensure sufficient spring action.
  • Examples of production materials are plastics, metal or moulded veneer.
  • the cup holder can be manufactured of sheets which are bent after the punching out thereof. It is possible to make use of laminated material which is moulded just as it is possible to use die casting or vacuum forming.
