A cup and holder assembly including a cover wherein the assembly may be mounted on a surface such as the dashboard of a vehicle to provide the driver or passengers in the vehicle with a drinking cup which may be secured in the holder to prevent spillage of the contents in the cup which may be coffee or may be coins carried for the payment of tolls. The holder has a generally flat bottom surface to which a double adhesive panel may be bonded to permit attachment of the holder to the dashboard and has a cylindrical outer wall for retaining the cup when the cup is positioned in the holder. Two generally vertical slots are diametrically opposed in the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall and at the bottom of each slot are circumferential slots extending in opposite directions from the vertical slots with said circumferential slots tapered to narrower widths away from the vertical slots. The cup is of generally conventional configuration and may include a handle with the base of said cup fitting closely within the outer cylindrical wall of the holder and has two outwardly extending tabs which are insertable into the vertical slots. The base of the cup rests on the inner surface of the bottom of the holder thereby permitting the cup to be rotated to cause the tabs to frictionally lock in the tapered circumferential slots thereby preventing the contents of the cup from being spilled due to tipping of the cup. The cover includes a circular disc with an outer downwardly extending wall and an inner downwardly extending lip which frictionally fit over the upper edge of the cup when the cup is positioned on the cup holder. The cover also fits over the outer cylindrical wall of the holder when the cup is not in the holder thereby retaining coins or the like in the holder.
