Cup holder apparatus

摘要

A cup holder for employment within the passenger area of a vehicle. The cup holder is built into a vehicle trim structure such as a door trim panel so as to be incorporated as an integral part of the vehicle's interior and minimize bulk, attachment and support requirements. The cup holder comprises two plate members having edges which are connected to each other by a hinge, and opposite edges which are movably connected to a housing carried in the trim panel. One plate covers a access opening to the housing in the trim panel and movement thereof carries the second plate from a stowed position behind and parallel with the first plane to a cup supporting position in which the second plate projects horizontally from the trim panel.
