ABSTRACT:
A cup holder mounted to a transversely extending handle of a shopping cart includes a holding member and an adjusting member. The holding member is mounted fixedly to the handle so as to project from the handle. The adjusting member is mounted to the handle so as to be pivotable between an operative position and an inoperative position. The adjusting member has a distal edge facing toward a concave edge of the holding member in the operative position of the adjusting member and away from the concave edge thereof in the inoperative position of the adjusting member. A cup having a frusto-conical wall can be supported between the concave edge of the holding member and the distal edge of the adjusting member with the adjusting member in the operative position or between the concave edge of the holding member and a near portion of the handle with the adjusting member in the inoperative position. The holding member is made from a steel wire with two end portions wrapped partially around the handle and from a steel strap with a principal portion interposed between the end portions of the holding member and the handle and welded to the holding member and with an end flange mounted fixedly to one end of the handle. The adjusting member is made from a steel plate welded to a steel wire having two end portions interposed respectively between the end portions and the handle.
