2) Two longitudinal cuts (13, 13) are formed on the side surface of the cup holding part (11) along the line of intersection of the ridgeline of the folded part and the virtual plane passing through the axis of the truncated cone. . The notches (13, 13) allow the entire cup holder to be easily folded flat during distribution or after use. Based on such a material, the cup holder of the embodiment is assembled as described below.

First, the material is spirally rolled from one end in the circumferential direction into the truncated cone shape, and the outer surface side of the end in the circumferential direction is fixed to the inner surface of the material. Then, the remaining portion on the other end side is folded back to the outer mountain side at the central portion and the end portion is fixed to the inner surface of the material to complete the process.

As described above, the cup holding portion (11) has a cylindrical shape with a downward constriction, and a plurality of notches (13, 13) are intermittently provided in the longitudinal direction on both side surfaces parallel to the handle portion (12) for easy folding. Has been formed. The notches (13, 13) may be groove-shaped. Further, by printing characters or designs on the outer surface of the cup holding portion (11), fashionability and advertisement / promotion functions can be provided.
