Cup Holder for Permobil Wheelchair with Existing Tray Mounting Hardware
I needed a cup holder that would mount on my Permobil Chair-Man 2K. We realized that the OEM tray mounting arms could make great mounting points for many things, including a cup holder. So, we went ahead and built a cup holder that would just slide into the existing tray mounting holes. We hacked off the end from a broken cymbal stand that happened to be the right diameter pipe to snuggly fit inside the tray mounting hole. If we didn’t have random junk and misc scrap to pick from, we could have bought a new pipe or some bar stock that would fit. For the cup holder element, we used a peice from an old cup holder. All we had to do was drill the pipe and screw on the holder. Now we’ve got a simple cup holder that slides directly onto the wheelchair. Now, none of this would make life any easier if it weren’t for the Hummingbird Sipper straws that I found and so dearly love! For more info about the staws, see the post on that.
