ABSTRACT:
A cup holder includes a ring-shaped supporting member, a cord with a proximal end fixedly attached to the supporting member, a hook attached to the distal end of the cord, and a pair of upper and lower anchoring pins attached to the supporting member at a position opposite the proximal end of the cord. A lid retainer is attached to the cord between the ends. A conventional mounting device attached to the supporting member attaches the cup holder to a vehicle, such as on the handlebar of a bicycle. A disposable cup, such as those typically used for holding hot coffee to go, may be held in the cup holder by placing it in the supporting member, positioning the lid retainer on top of the lid, and engaging the hook on one of pins, which is selected to keep the cord in tension. Thus the lid is secured on the cup to prevent spills even when the liquid is sloshed around inside the cup, such as during a bicycle ride.
