The inside of each of the left and right cylinders 3 serves as an air-conditioning outlet 4, one end of which is opened in the front plate 2, and an air-conditioning duct (not shown) is connected to the other end. A barrel 5 for adjusting a wind direction is attached to each of the outlets 4 of the two cylindrical bodies 3.

The register body 1 has a case body 6 formed integrally with the front plate 2 at a position intermediate the two cylindrical bodies 3. The case body 6 is formed in a box shape having a storage room 7 opened to the front plate 2, and the cup holder 11 is housed in the storage room 7 so as to be able to be pulled out.

The cup holder 11 is mainly composed of a holder body 12 and a holder arm 22. The holder main body 12 has a receiving plate 13 inserted so as to be able to be pulled out along sliding grooves 8 formed on both left and right sides of the bottom surface of the storage chamber 7, and a right-angled upward shape at the front end of the receiving plate 13. A support member 15 having a hollow box shape and a column 16 are respectively provided upright on the upper side of the upper surface of the receiving plate 13.

The support 16 projects through a predetermined length through the upper surface of the upper plate of the support member 15. A pair of left and right holder arms 22 is rotatably (openably and closed) mounted on the small-diameter shaft portion 17 formed at the upper end of the column 16.

Each of the pair of holder arms 22 is made of a metal wire, and its base end is rotatably wound around the shaft 17 of the column 16 and is directed forward from each base end. , Each of which extends in a substantially C-shape.
Further, the portions of the holder arms 22 near the ends are formed in an arc shape along the outer peripheral surface of the cups C.

The two holder arms 22 are always resiliently opened by the opening spring 18 in a direction in which they are expanded. That is, when the holder main body 12 is pulled out to the storage chamber 7 to the predetermined draw-out end position, the two holder arms 22 are opened, and the portions near the base ends of the both holder arms 22 are stored by the elastic force of the spring 18. When the holder main body 12 is pushed back to the original storage position, the holder body 12 is expanded to the open position corresponding to the side wall of the front end opening of the chamber 7, so that the two holder arms 22 are opened.
