Wheelchair Cup Holder - Zip Tie Attachment

cults3d

My mom needed a cup holder to attach to her wheelchair so she could hold her coffee mug while taking the dogs out or just cruising around the house. This is what I came up with to attach to her armrest tubing, and it could probably work in a number of places. I opted for a zip tie approach since we were prototyping, but it has some real strong benefits. Since the bottom rests on a bracket, and even though the zip ties are tight, it swivels easily on the round tube. Plus it seems like it would fit easily in a number of different spots using this method, making it easier to install on different makes of chairs. The cup holder has a 92mm inner diameter at the top and about 70mm at the base. It fits most of the to-go coffee mugs without handles that we have here at home. I updated the files, leaving my mom's name on them. LOL, unless you're named Carol, you probably don't need these with your name on them.
