Abstract

A cup holder capable of being moved from a housed position to a pulled-out position includes a holder, a peripheral-holding portion, an arm, a first spring member, and a second spring member. The arm is movable relative to the holder, and forms and define a container-retaining hole whose size is variable between the peripheral-holding portion and the arm. The first spring member moves the arm in a direction wherein the retaining hole is reduced against an urging force, and moves the arm in a direction wherein the retaining hole is expanded with an urging force. The second spring member acts on a tip of the arm, and in the pulled-out position of the holder, controls a variable amount of the arm against an urging force of the first spring member. Accordingly, the second spring member can elastically retain the arm in a prior use condition.
