Cup holder

A cup holder comprising:

• a holder movable from a housed position to a pulled-out position relative to a case for housing said holder, said holder comprising a peripheral-holding portion penetrated in an up and down direction and having an open side portion capable of retaining a container;
• an arm configured to be movable relative to said holder and having a base end and a tip end, said arm forming and defining a container-retaining hole having a size variable between said peripheral-holding portion and said arm;
• and
• urging means for urging said arm, comprising a first spring member acting on the base end of said arm, for allowing said arm to move in a direction wherein said retaining hole is reduced against an urging force of the first spring member when moving said holder in the direction of said housed position, and for moving said arm in a direction wherein said retaining hole is expanded with the urging force when said holder is moved in the direction of said pulled-out position;
• and a second spring member acting on the tip end of said arm, and in said pulled-out position, controlling a variable amount of said arm against said urging force of said first spring member for retaining said arm in a prior use condition, and for moving said arm in a direction wherein said retaining hole is expanded against an urging force of the second spring.
