Abstract

Cup holder with a housing is integrated into a center console of a passenger car. The cup holder includes a supporting carriage which has a stable one-piece frame in which two recesses are arranged as cup receiving devices. The supporting carriage is arranged in such a manner on a supporting arm guided linearly along the moving range that, in the moving range between a first and a second operating position, the frame can additionally be swivelled about a swivel pin horizontally relative to the supporting arm.
