A pair of guide elongated grooves 26 for engaging the respective stopper projections 25 are opened on the lower surface side of the first unit 1, and the engagement of the stopper projections 25 with the respective guide elongated grooves 26 causes the side support member 12 to move within the housing 11. And the stopper protrusion 25 abuts on the edge of the guide long groove 26 to regulate the pull-out position. In addition, the pair of guide long grooves 26 is provided with the stopper protrusion 2 on the concave wall portion 24.
Because of the provision of 5, the inner wall is shifted toward the inside by the amount of the recess of the concave wall portion 24, and the reinforcing flange 27 is positively applied to the outer edge portion.

Therefore, the side support member 12 is moved by the action of the stopper projection 25 and the guide elongated groove 26 to the housing 11.
In the state of being pulled out from the inside, as shown in FIG. 5, the engagement surface 21a of each engagement shoulder 21 of the bottom support member 13 is in contact with the step 19a surface of the corresponding elastic engagement claw 19 of the side support member 12. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting surface 13a of the bottom support member 13 is positioned directly below the holding hole 12a of the side support member 12 and extends horizontally to mount the cup 40. It becomes possible to place and support. Conversely, when the side support member 12 is pushed into the housing 11, the bottom support member 13 is pressed by the lower edge of the mouth of the housing 11 and is folded on the lower surface side of the side support member 12 as shown in FIG. 7. Thus, an unused state in which the side support members 12 and the bottom support members 13 are housed in the housing 11 is obtained.

Therefore, in the cup holder of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when the cup holder is not used, the side support member 12 and the bottom support member 13 are fixed to the bracket 37. Since it is stored in the rear seat 11 and does not protrude from the rear seat 34 in the direction of the elevating step 33, it is possible to guarantee a smooth elevating of the passenger using the elevating step 33. The side support member 12 is pulled out together with the bottom support member 13 to a position above the elevating step 33 by the spring pressure of the push-out spring member 14. When inserted, the cup 40 is securely held by the side support member 12 and the bottom support member 13. Therefore, in such a use state, even if the liquid in the cup 40 spills, it only falls on the elevating step 33 which is easy to clean.

It is possible to prevent the bottom support member 13 from being damaged and quickly drop the cup 40 in the direction of the elevating step 33, but at the same time, the rotation position of the bottom support member 13 is restricted by the recess 22. As shown in FIG. 12, each of the elastic engaging claws 19 and the engaging surface 21 of the engaging shoulder 21 by the restricting action.
a, the pressing surface 21 b of the engaging shoulder 21 is still in contact with the stepped portion 19 of the elastic engaging claw 19.
Since the elastic engaging claw 19 is bent inward by pressing the edge a, there is no need to worry about the bottom support member 13 that has turned downward being rattled.

Furthermore, if the bottom support member 13 that has been turned downward is pushed up with a small force by utilizing this pressing state, the bottom support member 13 is immediately returned to the normal state shown in FIG. The bottom support member 1
In combination with the damage prevention of No. 3, reuse can be guaranteed.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the concave wall portion 24 which is continuous while being bent from the top plate 12b of the side support member 12 to both side plates 12c hanging down from the top plate 12b is formed. The rigidity of the stopper projection 25 itself is improved due to the configuration in which the stopper projection 25 provided on the lower edge of each concave wall portion 24 is engaged with the guide long groove 26 of the housing 11. At the time of elevating, the side support member 1 from which the passenger is drawn to the elevating step 33 side
Even if the front end portion 2 is grasped, the side support member 12 does not easily come off the housing 11. Moreover,
The provision of the stopper projection 25 on the concave wall portion 24 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the guide slot 26 of the housing 11 also moves inward by that amount, the outer edge of the guide slot 26 is reinforced by the reinforcing flange 27, and each side plate 12 c approaches the opposed inner surface of the housing 11. Thus, the torsional rigidity of the housing 11 itself is also significantly improved, and the side support member 12 can be more reliably prevented from coming off the housing 11.
