Abstract
An armrest with cup holder of the type where the cup holder is integral with a foam padding in a trim cover assembly through a foaming process, wherein the cup holder is inserted in a hole formed in the trim cover assembly. A uniform stretcher protrusion is defined in a given local peripheral region of the cup holder about which the afore-said hole is engaged, so that a substantially circular edge of that hole is uniformly stretched by and along the uniform stretcher protrusion, thereby causing a close contact of such substantially circular edge of the hole on and about the uniform stretcher protrusion, so as to insure preventing leakage of a liquid foaming agent from between that particular hole and the cup holder during the foaming process.
