ABSTRACT:
A cup holder used in a vehicle includes a storing portion fixed to the vehicle, a slider slidably accommodated in the storing portion, a cup inserting hole provided in the slider, an arm rotatably disposed around a shaft attached to the slider near the cup inserting hole, and a diameter changing device. The diameter changing device includes a tracing portion fixed to the arm to slide along an inner side surface of the storing portion, a spring for urging the tracing portion toward the inner side surface of the storing portion to thereby allow an end of the arm to rotate in a direction of reducing an inner diameter of the cup inserting hole, and a cam surface protruded from the inner side surface of the storing portion. When the slider is drawn out from the storing portion, the end of the arm is rotated by the cam surface in a direction of enlarging the inner diameter of the cup inserting hole. Generation of a noise at the time of pulling out the slider from the storing portion is prevented.
