ABSTRACT:
A container holder assembly includes a recess forming member adapted for mounting in a vehicle, a first container support member pivotally mounted to the recess-forming member for movement in and out of the recess forming member, and a second container support member pivotally mounted to the first container support member for movement through an opening in the sidewall of the first container support member between a retracted position and an extended position. By extending the first container support member and selectively extending or retracting the second container support member, one or two container holder apertures can be selectively formed for supporting one or two containers. The second container support member automatically pivots to the retracted position when the first container support member is pivoted to the storage position in the recess forming member to facilitate closure. In one embodiment, a container holder assembly includes a base having a multi-sided post, and opposing first and second container support members pivotally mounted to the base for movement between a closed position wherein a single container holding aperture is defined, and pivotable outwardly to an extended position wherein a pair of container holder apertures. The single and the double container holder apertures are defined with arcuate surfaces on the first and second container support members in conjunction with corresponding sides of the multi-sided post.
