Benefits of technology

"The present invention is an adjustable cup-holder that can hold different types of cups. It is made of plastic, alloy, or metal and has a handle. The cup-holder can be easily replaced or cleaned. The flexible ring connects the handle and allows for adjustment to different cup sizes. The cup-holder is designed to prevent cups from being turned over and is suitable for different types of cups. The technical effects of the invention are its versatility, low cost, and easy replacement of cups."

Problems solved by technology

Besides, due to the costs of materials as glass, paper, two-layer stainless steel, and cleaning, etc., and most of cups have no handles, pads, and fixing structures, therefore other suitable materials are needed to easily and efficiently produce such components on cups.
Again, as aforesaid, there are sorts of cups, so the components to fit cups may not be possible.

first embodiment

[0026]According to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8, a lower end of a handle 1 is mounted on a top cover 21 of a bottom 2, an upper end of the handle 1 connects a flexible ring 3. A central portion of the top cover 21 is a cylindrical body 211 protruding downward. The cylindrical body 211 is put into a socket 221 of a chassis 22 of the top cover 21 for moving up and down. A wall of the cylindrical body 211 has two stopping slots 212 (partial stopping slot 212 is viewed in FIG. 1, another stopping slot 212 is blocked by the cylindrical body 21 and therefore cannot be seen), the stopping slots 212 symmetrically cooperate with stopping portions 222 located on an upper portion of the socket 221 of the chassis 22. Thus, the stopping portions 222 can move up and down in the stopping slots 212. While the top cover 21 is raised and the stopping slots 212 is thus moved upward, a lower edge 2121 of the stopping slots 212 touches the stopping portions 222; continuously the top cover 21 is lifted up, the stopp...

second embodiment

[0047]A third preferred embodiment is shown as in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, a lower portion of the handle and a plurality of components on the lower portion may be the same as the second embodiment, so they are not drawn in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13.

[0048]A free end 32 of a flexible ring 3 with a round profile is settled a plurality of indentations 321. The free end 32 penetrates through a through hole 43 of a handle head 12. A cylindrical guiding column 46 of a buckling head 4 is capable of going through a guiding hole 15 of the handle head 12. A hook edge 431 of a wedge hook portion 43 of a wedge plate 47 inserts into one of the indentations 321 of the flexible ring 3 and a guiding slot 16 of the handle head 12. A guiding rail is composed of the guiding column 46, the guiding hole 15, the wedge plate 47 and the guiding slot 16, and downward insertion of the buckling head 4 may be with a bias angle toward right, shown as in FIG. 13. The free end 32 going through the through hole 43 is capable...
