The present invention relates to a wheel chair and a cup holder which is adapted to be secured to the vertical tubular support member of the wheelchair for supporting various sizes beverage containers. The holder comprises a base for supporting a small container, e.g., coffee cups, a flat ring mounted on the base for supporting a large container. The ring having a substantial inner surface height to support the sidewall of the small container. The base can be provided with an opening for liquid drainage. Mounted to the ring is a continuous circular wall having a substantial height for supporting the sidewall of a large container. The wall can be notched for the protrusion of coffee cup handles. Projecting outwardly the wall and integral therewith a first attachment arm having an inner surface. A second attachment arm having an inner surface is provided. The first and second attachment arms each have curved portions and a centrally disposed arcuate portion on their respective inner surface. The arcuate portions of the first and second arms when aligned define an aperture approximate the size of the diameter of the vertical tubular support member of a wheelchair. The mating of the curved inner surfaces of the support arms prevents the enlargement of the aperture after repeated repositioning of the holder from a normal position to another position. Another container holder includes a tapered wall for engaging sidewall of large beverage containers and having the same integral attachment arm and second arm.
