  • Publication number: 20210309138
    Abstract: A cup holder assembly includes a base. A side wall is coupled to the base and extends cup holder assembly-upward from the base to generally define a cavity for receiving a cup. A bracket is pivotably coupled to the base and is operable to pivot between a first position and a second position. A retention feature is coupled to the bracket and is configured to engage with the base if the bracket is in the second position to retain the bracket in the second position. An electronic device is operable between an unassembled position and an assembled position in which the electronic device is engaged with the bracket, wherein the electronic device is configured to move with the bracket as the bracket pivots between the first and second positions if the electronic device is in the assembled position.
