ABSTRACT:
A cup holder adapted to be attached to a person's thigh, so that a person's hands may be kept free for other tasks. The cup holder is formed from a material having elastic memory and is comprised of a receptacle member forming a generally cylindrical shell which is open at its top end and closed at its bottom end, and two arcuate arms which extend downwardly therefrom. The receptacle member has a pair of vertical slots formed in the sidewall of the receptacle member running from its top edge to a small distance from its bottom end to allow the receptacle member to flex outwardly to receive a large beverage container and to allow a beverage container having a handle to be placed therein. The arms are formed integrally on the bottom of the receptacle member and they extend downwardly therefrom in spaced relation to each other on opposite sides of the receptacle member so that they may clamp comfortably onto a person's thigh to support the receptacle member vertically thereupon.
