ABSTRACT:
A cup holding apparatus has a cup holder for holding a cup, a containing portion for containing therein the cup holder, and a hinged lid provided on a base portion which constitutes the containing portion such that the cup holder can be held between the lid and the base portion when the lid is closed. A first link is rotatably connected at one end thereof to the base portion and is rotatably connected at the other end thereof to a first pivot portion which is provided on the cup holder. A second link is rotatably connected at one end thereof to the lid and is rotatably connected at the other end thereof to a second pivot portion which is provided on the cup holder away from the first pivot portion. A link mechanism which has the cup holder as an intermediate link is thus constituted to take the cup holder into or out of the containing portion by the closing or opening operation of the lid.
