Abstract

A molded cup carrier of resilient material for holding cups of different shapes and sizes, the cup carrier comprising at least one cup-holding socket, at least two stabilizing posts positioned around each socket and a center cavity defined between the sockets. Each socket includes a floor within each socket having a cup-contacting surface upon which a cup can rest when inserted into the socket. One embodiment includes the stabilizing post having a thumb hold disposed on the top surface of the stabilizing post to aid in preventing a user's thumb from slipping off the top surface of the post. Each stabilizing post may also include at least one curved stabilizing wall extending inwardly and downwardly into a respective socket. The molded cup carrier may also include a peripheral rim wherein a portion of the peripheral rim is inwardly arced.
