A cup holder unit includes a housing case; a rest tray that switches between a pulled out position where it is moved forward from the case and a stored position where it is pushed in the case; and a holder member switchable from a non-usable position where it is superposed above the tray and stored in the case to a usable position where it is raised by a forward movement of the tray. The cup holder unit has shafts projecting from the holder member to be spaced apart from each other; clearance slots disposed in upright walls of the tray; and guide grooves disposed in the case and slanted upwardly toward front to slidably receive the shafts therein via the clearance slots. Each clearance slot includes a vertical slot and an arc-shaped slot turning toward a rear side from an upper section of the vertical slot.

What is claimed is: 1. A cup holder unit, comprising: a case having side plates, a tray disposed in the case for moving between a pulled out position where the tray projects forward from the case and a stored position where the tray is pushed in the case, said tray having upright side walls, a holder member operationally connected to the tray for moving from a non-usable position where the holder member is overlapped with the tray and stored in the case to a usable position where the holder member is raised when the tray projects forward, a plurality of shafts projecting laterally from the holder member and arranged horizontally and vertically spaced apart from each other, clearance slots disposed in the upright side walls for receiving the shafts, each of said clearance slots having a vertical slot extending vertically and an arc-shaped slot extending from an upper section of the vertical slot and curved toward a rear side so that when the shafts are situated in the arc-shaped slots, the tray is situated at the pulled out position and the holder member is situated at the usable position, and guide grooves disposed in the side plates of the case to slant upwardly toward a front side, said guide grooves slidably receiving the shafts through the clearance slots therein so that the tray and the holder member move while the shafts slide in the clearance slots and the guide grooves. 2. A cup holder unit according to claim 1, wherein each of said arc-shaped slots includes a resilient piece curved in an arc-shape to form the slot. 3. A cup holder unit according to claim 2, wherein said holder member includes shaft inserting sections for holding the shafts to project therefrom. 4. A cup holder unit according to claim 1, wherein said guide grooves and the clearance slots are formed such that as the tray is pulled forward, the shafts are moved upwardly along the guide grooves in the clearance slots. 5. A cup holder unit according to claim 1, wherein said arc-shaped slot has an upper end located higher than the vertical slot. 6. A cup holder unit, comprising: a case having side plates, a tray disposed in the case for moving between a pulled out position where the tray projects forward from the case and a stored position where the tray is pushed in the case, said tray having upright side walls, a holder member operationally connected to the tray for moving from a non-usable position where the holder member is overlapped with the tray and stored in the case to a usable position where the holder member is raised when the tray projects forward, a plurality of shafts projecting laterally from the holder member and arranged horizontally and vertically spaced apart from each other, clearance slots disposed in the upright side walls for receiving the shafts, each of said clearance slots having a vertical slot extending vertically and an arc-shaped slot extending from an upper section of the vertical slot and curved toward a rear side so that when the shafts are situated in the arc-shaped slots, the tray is situated at the pulled out position and the holder member is situated at the usable position, and guide grooves disposed in the side plates of the case to slant upwardly toward a front side, said guide grooves slidably receiving the shafts through the clearance slots therein so that the tray and the holder member move while the shafts slide in the clearance slots and the guide grooves, wherein said arc-shape slot curves upwardly and includes a resilient piece forming a lower side thereof to support the shaft in the arc-shape slot. 7. A cup holder unit according to claim 6, wherein each of the upright side wall includes a cutout section adjacent to the resilient piece.
