| Abstract: |
Cup holder for a cup, the holder having at least one recess on a side. The recess is partially surrounded by a projecting track which has a guiding head. A cup with a ring can be pushed substantially horizontally to the side and the ring is guided by the guiding bead until the cup reaches a point where it is free to drop into the corresponding recess. The cup holder can be used in a vehicle to minimize spillage.

We claim:
1. A cup holder for holding a cup in a vehicle, the cup comprising at least one ring on an outer portion of the cup, the holder comprising a first side which includes at least one recess adapted to hold a closed bottom end of the cup, a track partially surrounding the recess, said track having a guiding bead having a lower surface which is adapted to guide an upper surface of the ring on the outer portion of the cup, whereby when the cup is pushed substantially horizontally on said first side of the holder, the cup is guided by the bead on the track to where it drops into the recess, said lower surface of said guiding bead being thereby spaced from said upper surface of said ring by a distance substantially equal to the depth of said recess.
