In addition, in the case of a cup holder that is fitted to a cold beverage, the surface of the cup is By absorbing moisture, the user can easily lift the cup. As the cup holder, a disposable cup holder that fits into a takeout cup sold in a cafe, etc. is widely used, and the disposable cup holder is formed of a paper material. Recently, as environmental problems have emerged, a multi-use cup holder made of a fabric material that can be used multiple times is also used.

At this time, most of the cup holders are formed to wrap only the middle part of the cup, so that when the cup is placed on the floor, water may collect on the floor. In particular, when a take-out cup is placed on a desk in an office, lecture room, school, or reading room, water droplets collect on the desk, and electronic devices, documents, and books may become wet frequently.

Conventionally, in order to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom of the cup as described above, a coaster is separately provided and used. More specifically, since takeout beverages are often purchased and consumed without additional preparation, in most cases, the user cannot prepare them if the cafe does not provide coasters. In addition, most cafes do not provide coasters in most cases, and in particular, in the case of takeout drinks, it is common not to provide coasters separately.

As a prior art for solving the above problems, there is Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2019-0034438 (published on April 2, 2019). This prior art consists of a cup holder having a coaster and a carrier function. However, the cup holder of the prior art does not disclose a method for storing the connection part and the coaster when not in use. In addition, the circumferential adjustment allowance formed on the body is formed to convert the function to a carrier by inserting the cup holder upside down, but the support force of the body may be weakened by the circumference adjustment allowance.

For example, in the cup holder of the present prior art, when the body is mounted on the cup, water droplets formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cup are absorbed by the body, and the groove of the circumferential adjustment allowance may be weakened and torn. In addition, even when the user grips the body, the cup is exposed through the gap caused by the circumferential adjustment allowance, so that the water droplet can be in direct contact with the user's hand.
