Abstract
A cup holder assembly includes a receptacle. A base defining a recess is also included. The base is pivotable with respect to the receptacle between a stored position in which the base is substantially inside the receptacle and a use position in which the base is at least partially outside the receptacle. A partial ring is supported by the receptacle and slides in the channel in one direction such that the partial ring is contained substantially within the channel when the base is in the stored position and slides in the channel in another direction to extend between the receptacle and the base when the base is in the use position to cooperatively form with the base a circumferential support for receiving and at least partially supporting a container.
