A cup holder is a small, often molded compartment designed to securely hold cups, bottles, or cans. Commonly found in vehicles, furniture, and various appliances, cup holders help prevent spills and keep beverages within easy reach. They come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different drink containers. In cars, cup holders are typically located in the center console or door panels. They can be adjustable or fixed, and some even feature additional functions like heating or cooling. Cup holders are also popular in home furniture, such as recliners and sofas, enhancing comfort during leisure activities like watching movies or reading.
