<p>The cup-holder (10) is provided with a number of cells (12, 14, 16, 18) for receipt of a cup. Each cell (12, 14, 16, 18) has a side limit which diverges upwardly and is defined by inter-connected alternatively inwardly (26) and outwardly (28) curved walls. The inwardly curved wall (26) is formed of flexible material which deforms resiliently outwardly as the cup is inserted into the cell to frictionally secure the cup therein. Each inwardly curved wall (26) has a continuous inner surface free of any openings therein save and except for a slit (40) formed adjacent to its intersection with the lower wall and, optionally, a vertically-extending line (70, 72, 74) of weakness. The line of weakness (70, 72, 74) is formed by a cut into but not through the latter said wall. The slit (40) and line (70, 72, 74) of weakness are provided to facilitate deformation of the curved wall.</p> |
