ABSTRACT:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cup holder for a vehicle includes a main body defining an insertion hole that can receive a beverage container, a supporting portion supporting the beverage container and mounted in an inner hole of the main body such that the supporting potion can rotate and move back and forth by a hinge pin guided along a guide groove formed in a lateral side of the inner hole, and a pair of compression springs supporting the supporting portion such that the supporting portion can elastically protrude to the insertion hole. As the hinge pin moves according to the shape and size of the beverage container, the beverage container can be strongly supported such that the beverage can not be spilt from the beverage container regardless of a shape and size thereof when the beverage container is inserted.
