  • Single component cup holder mechanism
    Patent number: 10166904
    Abstract: Cup holder mechanisms are provided for vehicles that include, in one example, an upper region, a base region, and a middle region.

The base region includes a base support element configured to support a bottom of the beverage. The middle region connects the upper region and the base region. The cup holder mechanism is configured to be movable, by an actuator based on input provided by an occupant of the vehicle, between: a closed position, in which the cup holder mechanism is stowed in a recess within a housing; and an open position, in which the cup holder mechanism is opened outside the housing to receive the beverage. The upper region, the base region, and the middle region are formed as a single unitary piece.
