Abstract

A cup holder includes a movable adapter ring for use in selectively reducing the inner diameter of the larger upper socket that is the primary cup support. The large upper socket is movably secured to an underlying base member having an outer diameter sufficient to securely fit into the stationary cup holders found in most late model vehicles. The upper socket is movable in a lateral direction to accommodate use of two such supports in vehicle that provide two adjacently positioned cup holders.
