ABSTRACT:
A cup holder for securely holding multiple tapered cups within, and for mounting within an automatic dishwasher. A first plate contains apertures extending therethrough. The apertures are large enough to allow passage of the small bottom ends of tapered cups but small enough to prohibit passage of the relatively larger top ends of the cups. The first plate is supported by legs attached to its underside, such that the bottoms of the cups do not touch the surface upon which the legs rest. The cups are trapped between the first and second plates. The second plate is latched to the first plate by a plurality of extendable arms. Extendable arms are extendable beyond the ends of the cup holder and are mountable upon horizontal members in the upstanding sides of utensil racks provided and used in various styles and makes of automatic dishwashers. Indentations in the upper face of the top gridwork are provided to receive the bottoms of the legs, which support the bottom gridwork and thereby facilitate secure stacking of multiple racks for storage purposes. The cup holder is set into the dishwasher with the open tops of the cups facing downward.
