Abstract

A combined storage compartment and container holder for a motor vehicle. The storage compartment and container holder is of a substantially rectangular box-like configuration which is divided into two sections. A storage compartment depends from an edge member about the first section and a pair of container holders are mounted in the second section. The combined unit can be concealed within an armrest until needed at which time it can be extended out of the armrest to expose the container holder and on further extension a storage compartment. The container holders are stored in a vertical facing position and are guided to a horizontal use position by pairs of spaced pins on opposite outer edges of each cup-like holder which traverse guide slots formed in a pair of spaced vertical walls.
