ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a novel cup holder adapted for permanent securement to an appropriate supporting surface. The apparatus of the present invention is advantageously adapted for movement between a first closed position for storage, and a second open position for use in holding a suitable container. In a presently preferred embodiment of the invention, a housing is provided that is adapted for securement to the supporting surface. Respective support and retaining assemblies are provided to support the weight of the container and to maintain the container in the desired position. Both of said assemblies are preferably substantially U-shaped in appearance, and are comprised of a plurality of hingedly interconnected components so that the assemblies may be collapsed in a bellows-like manner for storage.
