PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cup holder which can hold a plurality of cups as a holder, and can save a space by compactly accommodating the cups when the cups are not used by the holder.SOLUTION: A cup holder comprises: an even number of plates which are vertically laminated with prescribed intervals, and whose contours are the same; a turn support part which supports an even number of the plates so as to be turnable with a turning axis as a center between a closed state that an even number of the plates are laminated in a vertical direction, and an open state that an even number of the plates are spirally arranged stepwise with the turning axis as a center; and a plurality of linkage mechanisms which are arranged between the vertically-adjoining plates. Openings for making cups insert therein are fixed at a half number of an even number of the plates from an uppermost layer, and when the plate at the uppermost layer is rotated to a prescribed direction from the closed state, the vertically-adjoining plates continuously contact with each other by a plurality of the linkage mechanisms, and an even number of the plates are deployed to the open state, and in the open state, an even number of the plates are arranged so that the plate having an opening and the plate not having an opening are vertically overlapped on each other, thus forming the cup holder for a plurality of the cups.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
