Abstract
A container holder for a vehicle includes a container bin unit with a cavity and a size adjustment mechanism. The cavity has a first portion and a second portion. The adjustment mechanism includes a dual adjustment piece and a single adjustment piece, which are movable between at least a retracted and extended position. When in the extended position, the dual or single adjustment pieces extend into the first portion and/or second portion of the cavity to adjust the diameter of the portions. The adjustment pieces allow for the container holder to adequately hold one small container and one large container, two small containers, or two large containers.
