Abstract
A cup holder assembly includes a housing partially defined by a pair of opposing sidewalls and configured to partially enclose an interior space. At least one support ring pivotably moves along a cam surface of the housing between a use position and a stored position. In the use position, the support ring is substantially outside of the interior space, is perpendicular to the opposing side walls, and can at least partially support a container. In the stored position, the support ring is substantially inside of the interior space parallel and substantially adjacent to the one of the side walls.
