CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001]This application is based on and claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-65742, filed on Jul. 13, 2006 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]1. Field of the Invention [0003]The present invention relates to a driver's seat structure having receptacles in which a beverage vessel or an ashtray is selectively stored in a receptacle formed at a surrounding portion of a driver's seat, and in particular to a driver's seat structure having receptacles in which a beverage vessel or an ashtray is selectively stored in a receptacle installed where a driver's hand can easily reach, so that a driver can conveniently use an ashtray or a beverage vessel depending on a driver's habit or preference without leaving a driver's seat, with the receptacle being installed in at least two portions. [0004]2. Description of the Background Art [0005]FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a construction that a cup holder and an ashtray are engaged at a front side of a driver's seat in the conventional art. [0006]As shown therein, an ashtray 2 is installed at a front side of a console box of one side of a driver's seat 5 of heavy construction equipment. A cup holder 4 is installed at a lateral panel 4 of the driver's cab for storing a beverage vessel(for example, beverage can, water cup, beverage bottle, etc). As the cup holder 4 and the ashtray 2 are fixed at certain positions, a driver has some problems when using the cup holder 4 or the ashtray depending on a driver's habit or preference. In case that a driver is a smoker, it is needed to install an ashtray at a certain position so that a driver can use the same without leaving a driver's seat. Namely, the ashtray 2, which is relatively more frequently used as compared to the cup holder 4, should be installed where a driver's hand can easily reach. [0007]In case that a driver is a non-smoker, the ashtray 2 is not needed in the course of work. In this case, since the driver frequently uses a beverage vessel stored in a cup holder 4, the cup holder 4, which is more frequently used as compared to the ashtray 2, should be installed at a nearer position so that the user can use the same conveniently. [0008]In the conventional art, since the cup holder 4 and the ashtray 2 are separately installed at different positions, the number of parts disadvantageously increases in the course of a driver's cab layout design and manufacture of equipment, so that the unit cost increases. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009]Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a driver's seat structure having receptacles in which a beverage vessel or an ashtray is selectively stored in at least two receptacles installed where a driver's hand can easily reach depending a driver's habit or preference, so that a driver can conveniently use an ashtray or a beverage vessel without leaving a driver's seat in the course of work. [0010]It is another object of the present invention to provide a driver's seat structure having receptacles in which when a driver works for long time without leaving a driver's seat, it is easy to smoke or drink beverage in comfortable posture without leaving a driver's seat for thereby enhancing workability, and a driver's various demands can be satisfied, and a driver's cab space may be more usefully used. [0011]To achieve the above objects, in a driver's cab of heavy construction equipment, there is provided a driver's seat structure of heavy construction equipment having receptacles, which comprises a predetermined shaped receptacle which is installed in at least two portions of a surrounding side of a driver's seat and is able to selectively receive a beverage vessel or an ashtray; and an ashtray which is detachably stored in a receptacle which is not selected by the beverage vessel in the receptacles. [0012]There is further provided a holder which is received in each receptacle and supports an ashtray or a beverage vessel which is selectively stored in a corresponding receptacle, so that the receptacles can have compatibility. [0013]There is further provided a flexible rib which is protruded from an inner surface of the holder, so that a movement owing to a diameter difference between the holder and the ashtray or a diameter difference between the holder and the beverage vessel is prevented. [0014]The holder is made of a rubber material. [0015]One between the receptacles is formed at a console box of a driver's seat. [0016]The other one between the receptacles is formed at a lateral panel beside a driver's seat. [0017]One between the receptacles is formed at a console box of a driver's seat, and the other one between the receptacles is formed at a lateral panel beside a driver's seat. [0018]The receptacle is formed at both left and right sides of a driver's seat, or the receptacle is formed at one between left and right sides of a driver's seat. [0019]The receptacle is installed where a driver's hand can reach from a driver's seat.
