A cup holder for strollers and bicycles is a small mechanical interface that secures a beverage container to the frame or handlebar, allowing the user to keep both hands free for steering or child supervision. The design must accommodate varying tube diameters, resist vibration-induced loosening, and maintain stability under dynamic loads encountered during typical urban or recreational use.
The main body is molded from high‑impact polypropylene (PP) with a melt flow index of 8 g/10 min, providing a balance of stiffness and impact resistance. Fasteners are made from A2 stainless steel to resist corrosion in outdoor environments. All external surfaces receive a UV‑stabilized coating to reduce color fading after prolonged sun exposure. The rubber liner is thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) selected for its low compression set and durability over 10 000 flex cycles.
| Parameter | Typical Value | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clamp tightening torque | 2.5 | Nm | Recommended for secure fit without damaging tube |
| Vibration resistance (10‑50 Hz) | No loosening after 2 h | — | Tested on sinusoidal shaker table |
| Temperature operating range | -20 to +60 | °C | No loss of clamp force |
| Weight (single unit) | 45 | g | Includes clamp and liner |

On a stroller, the cup holder enables caregivers to keep a drink within reach while maintaining control of the stroller’s direction, reducing the risk of spills that could cause slipping hazards. For bicycles, especially commuter or city models, the holder provides a stable location for a water bottle or coffee cup, allowing the rider to hydrate without removing hands from the handlebars, which is critical for maintaining balance and reaction time in traffic. The adjustable clamp accommodates both the oval cross‑sections common on stroller frames and the round tubes typical of handlebars, ensuring a secure fit across a wide range of products.
Each production lot undergoes incoming material verification (PP melt flow, stainless steel composition). Finished parts are subjected to a 100‑cycle clamp‑open/close test to confirm detent functionality, followed by a static load test at 15 kg for one minute. A random sample is placed in a climate chamber for 48 hours at -20 °C and +60 °C to verify that the clamp force remains within ±10 % of the initial value. Visual inspection checks for flash, surface defects, and correct liner placement before packaging.
Units are packed in recyclable polyethylene bags (100 pcs per bag) to prevent scratching during transit. Bags are placed in standard corrugated cartons sized 400 mm × 300 mm × 200 mm, with a maximum gross weight of 15 kg per carton. Cartons are palletized (1.2 m × 1.0 m footprint) and stretch‑wrapped for stability. Each carton includes a packing slip with part number, lot code, and quantity. For overseas shipments, fumigated wooden pallets or ISPM‑15 compliant alternatives are available on request.
Standard lead time for stocked configurations is 10‑12 working days after receipt of a signed purchase order. Custom colors or logo tooling add approximately 3‑4 weeks. Minimum order quantity is 500 units for standard parts; trial orders of 50 units can be arranged for evaluation, with sample costs credited against the first production order. Quotations require the desired clamp range, color, any branding specifications, and the required delivery date.
