14 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 13 , wherein the binder has a plurality of elastic curve clamping members.
15 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 13 , wherein the handle head, a middle of the binder and an inner surface of the buckling head have an arc surface respectively.
16 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 1 further comprises a wedge plate in between the cup surrounded by the flexible ring and an upper end of the handle, the wedge plate and the upper end of the handle cooperate each other for moving up and down so as to loosing or tying the flexible ring.
17 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 16 further comprises a through hole on the upper end of the handle for inserting the flexible ring, a side of the through hole is opened for appearing the flexible ring, a wedge hook portion is set on the wedge plate, the free end of the flexible ring is tied up while inserting the wedge downward.
18 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 1 , wherein a top cover protruding downward and out of a cylindrical body is set on a center of the bottom, a chassis protruding upward and out of a socket is below the top cover, a sucker is mounted on the chassis for sealing, the top cover and the bottom connect each other for moving up and down and not being dismantled.
19 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 18 , wherein a wall of the cylindrical body has two stopping slots, the stopping slots symmetrically cooperate with a plurality of stopping portions located on an upper portion of the socket of the chassis.
20 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 18 , wherein a supporting plate elongated from the handle or the top cover is set under the handle.
21 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 18 , wherein a plurality of baffles protrudes upward and are located around a lower end of the cup on the top cover for stopping movement of the cup.
22 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 21 , wherein the baffle is shaped as ladder figure or bevel figure and mounted on the top cover symmetrically.
23 . The adjustable cup-holder as cited in claim 21 , wherein a plurality of line-tooth fasteners are under the baffles, the line-tooth fasteners are set on a plurality of serrate slots with plural serrate line teeth on the top cover and match with the serrate line teeth of the serrate slots, the line-tooth fasteners are moveably mounted on the serrate slots with plural serrate line teeth by means of an oscillating axis thereon, and around a central portion of each line-tooth fastener is an oscillating axis, a center of the oscillating axis is a support point for the oscillation, plural spring pieces of the line-tooth fasteners touch plural walls of the serrate slots, therefore the serrate line teeth of the line-tooth fasteners are pushed to match with the serrate line teeth by the spring pieces, a plurality of curve baffles are elongated upward and set on the line-tooth fasteners for blocking an outer of a lower portion of the cup.
