Abstract
A cup holder assembly includes a container aperture, a travel guide, a stabilizer arm aperture, a stabilizer arm, and a biasing member. The travel guide is on an exterior surface of the container aperture. The stabilizer arm aperture is radially inward of the travel guide. The stabilizer arm is pivotable about a living hinge and is inserted into the stabilizer arm aperture. The travel guide guides radial actuation of the stabilizer arm. The biasing member biases the stabilizer arm radially inward.
