cupholder

Drink cradle compartment

A cupholder is a receptacle designed to hold a beverage container, typically built into vehicles, furniture, or equipment.

Car cupholders became standard features in American automobiles during the 1980s as drive-through culture expanded: My old truck doesn't have cupholders.

They also appear in movie theater armrests, strollers, and office chairs.
