The history of modern civilization is replete with such inventions that seem just so intuitive in today's world that we cannot help but wonder how humanity managed to survive before their discovery. Today I will talk about one such accessory that has become such an indispensable part of our lives that we take its existence almost for granted.
If you have lived in any modern day city then without a doubt you would have used a cup holder. Granted that they are not one of those path breaking, awe-inspiring inventions of our times. But their beauty lies in the fact that they have become such integral part of our daily routine that life would be pretty inconvenient without them. The bulk of cup holder usage occurs in our automobiles. Be it the daily morning coffee during office commute or the chilled soda during the drive upstate, these drink holders really do make life much easier when travelling. After all, you wouldn't want your neatly ironed suit soaked in your morning coffee just before your all important meeting. Avoiding these types of mistakes is easy enough if you have a cup holder in your car.
Then we have what are commonly known as poker table cup holders. These are made to hold a beer or other beverage while you enjoy Texas Hold'em or any other poker game at the table. A very common sight in casinos, they are made out of stainless steel and are affixed to the table edge using a thin plate, providing a simple yet elegant way of securing your drinks.
Giving in to client's ever increasing demand for convenience, designers invented the rotating cup holder. They are freely available as stand-alone devices. They can be fixed to any furniture or vehicle of your choice. Their primary advantage is that they can be rotated closer or farther away from the user. This is made possible because of the hinges on which they move.
Recent times have seen the advent of insulated cup holders. Put simply, they are just insulated containers that can hold your cups and at the same time ensure the temperature control of the beverage inside them. They are especially useful in countries with extreme climates.
Choosing the right cup holder depends on how you are going to use it because today we have a type for almost every situation you might find yourself in. Whatever happens, I am sure that we have yet not seen the end of road as far as development of cup holders is concerned.
