ABSTRACT:
A container holder adapted to be mounted within a vehicle interior compartment is provided comprising a housing which mounts at least one pivotable arm which defines a container-receiving area. The arm is pivotable by a user between a retracted and an extended position to vary the usable size of the container-receiving area. After a beverage container is placed within the housing, a user can pivot the arm into contact with an outer surface of the beverage container so that the beverage container is securely retained during operation of the vehicle. The beverage container is thereby retained in the housing in a stable manner. A release assembly is also provided which returns the arm to the retracted position when the beverage container is removed.
