ABSTRACT:
A variable size container holder for an automotive vehicle has a tray movable between a retracted position retracted into a cavity in a vehicle trim piece and an extended position extending from the trim piece. Along an edge of the tray is at least one container receiving portion and at least one channel. Bounding the container receiving portion and mounted in the channel is a flexible band having a first end fixed relative to the tray and a second end movable within the channel. The flexible band is thus adjustable, when the tray is in the extended position, between a taut position substantially flush with the edge of the tray and a container holder position in which a middle section of the retaining member is drawn laterally away from the container receiver portion to allow a container to rest in the container receiving portion. The flexible retaining member grips a vertically extending surface of a container so as to secure it into the container receiving portion.
