CONSTITUTION:When a lid 34 is put in such a sealed condition that its surface on indoor side is positioned in a plane with the surface of car body 14 on the indoor side, the right angle bend 90B of a pin 90 mates with the central bend 92B in the heart cam groove 92 portion of a slider 80, so that the slider 80 is held in the condition as inserted maximumly in a guide hole 86, and hooks 74, 76 are held in detaining condition. If the lid 34, in this condition, is intruded a little and the bond 90.B is set off from the central bend 92b, the slider 80 is pushed out of a case 84 by the force of a spring 88 and, at the same time, the hooks 74, 76 are released from detention. Therefore, the lid 34 is turned by the force of spring 60, and a cup supporting plate 18 is put in horizontal state to stop upon contacting a stopper 28, that enables now placing of cup 30.
