ABSTRACT:
A vehicular armrest (20) includes an interior compartment (40) which receives a beverage container holding assembly. The holding assembly is pivotally secured to the armrest (20) for rotation between a stored position inside the compartment (40) and an operational position outside the armrest compartment (40). The holding assembly includes two semi-circular arms (54,54') which are operatively connected to an actuating mechanism (52) which automatically expands the semi-circular members (54,54') upon rotation toward the operational position. In the operational position, the two semi-circular members (54,54') form two distinct beverage container receptacles in the holding assembly. The actuating mechanism also automatically collapses the semi-circular arms (54,54') as the holding assembly is rotated toward the storage position to compactly store the holding assembly within the compartment (40) of the armrest (20). A T-shaped bar (92) is pivotally attached to the holding assembly to support the bottom of a beverage container (C) when the arms (54,54') are in the expanded operational position.
