It is designed to be pulled out in an inclined shape. Left and right holder holes 15 for holding the outer circumference of the cups 6 so that they can be taken out are provided through the front side of the upper plate 12 of the holder body 11. These holder holes 15 are formed in an oval shape with respect to the upper plate 12 of the holder main body 11 so that the plane projection becomes a substantially perfect circle.

A cup receiving member 16 that receives the lower surface of the cups 6 inserted into the holder holes 15 is assembled between the both side plates 13 of the holder body 11. The cup receiving member 16 is formed by bending a wire into a substantially U shape, and horizontal shaft portions 17 provided at both ends thereof are rotatably fitted and inserted into both side plates 13 of the holder body 11. Supported by Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the cup receiving member 16 is rotated about the horizontal shaft portion 17 by its own weight when the holder body 11 is pulled out to the cup receiving position, and is inserted into the holder hole 15. It is arranged at a cup receiving position for receiving the lower surface of the cups 6. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the holder body 11 is pushed back to the original storage position, the horizontal shaft portion 17 is centered while the cup receiving member 16 is in contact with the front end of the bottom plate portion 4 of the retainer 2. It is adapted to be stored in the holder body 11 by being rotated as.

As shown in FIG. 1, a recess 18 is formed on the upper surface of the upper plate 12 of the holder main body 11 on the lower inclined side of the holder hole 15, that is, in the first embodiment, on the rear side of the upper plate 12. A flat plate-shaped holding member 21 is stored in the recess 18 at the base end thereof so as to be able to project upward about the pin 22. An arcuate holder surface 23 for holding the cups 6 in cooperation with both holder holes 15 of the holder body 11 is formed at the tip of the holding member 21.
