For example, a pair of base material sheets 3 and 4 formed in a square shape are overlapped, and the other three peripheral edges 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, and 8b are joined except the upper peripheral edges 5a and 5b. And a body 1 formed in a bag shape in which a container w is accommodated, and cutout portions 2 and 2 in which corners 11 and 12 on both sides of the lower portion of the body 1 are cut off (patents) Reference 1).

[0005] In addition, there is a sheet-shaped material that forms a cylindrical tube portion that expands when the bottom portion force is also directed upward, and has a tube bottom having an air vent at the bottom of the tube portion (patent) Reference 2).

[0006] Further, the flat plate 11 made of the polyurethane foam sheet is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a cylindrical portion 12 that accommodates the pet bottle 9 and a cylindrical portion 12 are fixed to the cylindrical portion. And a fixing means for forming the cylindrical portion 2. Two of the 12 parts forming the cylindrical part that is rectangular At the center of one of the long sides, a long strip-shaped first protrusion 13 projects perpendicularly to the long side, and the other of the two long sides has a short strip-shaped first projection. Two projecting portions 14 project perpendicularly to the long side. At the tips of the first projecting portion 13 and the second projecting portion 14, there are provided through holes 15 and 15 through which the mouth and neck portion 9a of the plastic bottle 9 is passed. Some of the two protrusions 14 constitute the fixing means (see Patent Document 3).

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0018] Next, a cup holder according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Note that the cup (C) used in the present embodiment is formed in a circular shape when viewed from above, and is formed in a tapered shape having a diameter that decreases from the upper part to the lower part when viewed from the side, with the upper part being the upper part. Be an open mouthpiece! RU

[0020] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the cup holder (1) includes a holder main body portion (10) into which the cup (C) is fitted, and a hand-holding portion (20) to be held by a hand. .

[0021] The holder main body (10) is formed in an annular shape that can accommodate a cup. For this reason, when an upward force is applied to the taper-shaped cup on the holder main body (10), the diameter of the holder main body (10) matches the diameter of the cup (C) (in this embodiment, the cup (C) The cup (C) is engaged and locked in such a manner that it is suspended vertically.

In the present embodiment, the holder body (10) is formed in a truncated cone shape along the tapered shape of the peripheral surface of the cup (C).
