Abstract
A container holder assembly for a vehicle having a base wall and a sidewall defining a substantially cylindrical cavity. The cavity having a first side half and an opposed second side half. A resilient member extending across the cavity. The sidewall including a plurality of spaced slots and the resilient member including a first end attached to the sidewall at the first side half of the cavity and a free end configured to penetrate a selected one of the spaced slots for releasable attachment to the sidewall. The resilient member being configured to deform upon insertion of a container into the cavity.
Claims16
A container holder assembly for a vehicle, the holder assembly comprising:
- a first member which defines a cavity and a resilient member adapted to extend across said cavity, said first member including a perimeter wall defining a plurality of spaced passages, said resilient member including a fixed end and a free end, said free end adapted to penetrate a selected one of said spaced passages for releasable attachment to an outer surface of said perimeter wall, the resilient member dissecting said cavity and configured to deform upon insertion of a container into the cavity, the outer surface of said perimeter wall including a projection configured to receive the free end of the resilient member, and the free end of the resilient member including a plurality of holes configured to receive the projection.
A cup holder assembly, comprising:
- a cup receiving portion, said cup receiving portion including a bottom wall and at least one sidewall extending upwardly from the bottom wall, said bottom wall and said at least one sidewall defining a cavity, a resilient member adapted to extend across said cavity, the resilient member dissecting said cavity and configured to deform upon insertion of a container into the cavity, said sidewall including a plurality of spaced resilient member receiving passages, said resilient member including at least one free end adapted to releasably mate with a selective one of the resilient member receiving passages, an outer surface of said at least one sidewall including a projection configured to receive the at lease one free end of the resilient member, and the at least one free end of the resilient member including a plurality of holes configured to receive the projection.
A container holder assembly the holder, comprising:
- a base wall and a sidewall defining a substantially cylindrical cavity, said cavity having a first side half and an opposed second side half, a resilient member including a first end attached to the sidewall at the first side half of the cavity and a free end adapted to extend across said cavity to the second side half, said second side half of the sidewall including a plurality of spaced passages, said free end configured to penetrate a selected one of said spaced passages for releasable attachment to the sidewall, an outer surface of said sidewall including a projection configured to receive the free end of the resilient member, and the free end of the resilient member including a plurality of holes configured to receive the projection.
