Abstract: A system includes a stowable cupholder apparatus. The stowable cupholder apparatus includes a cupholder member defined by: a top planar member, the top planar member having a cup hole configured to accommodate a cup; a rear planar member extending from the top planar member; and a base planar member extending from the rear planar member, wherein a gap exists between the top planar member and the base planar member. The stowable cupholder apparatus may include a cup grip ring member attached to the top planar member, the cup grip ring member including a ring and cup grip fingers extending inwardly away from the ring. The stowable cupholder apparatus may include a hinge attached to the rear planar member and configured to attach to a structure, wherein the hinge has a range of motion configured to move the cupholder member between a stowed position and a deployed position.
