Abstract
A container holder for a vehicle is stored in an armrest and can be moved to a use position exposing a container supporting element. Upon returning the container holder to its storage position, at least one arm of the container holder is retracted by the action of the top of the armrest contacting a support member. A slide mechanism couples at least one arm of the holder to the support member to effect the retraction of the arm for storage with the movement of the support member.
