Abstract
A vehicular cupholder assembly (10) is designed to expand in an upward direction out from a sleeve housing (12) enabling the vehicular cupholder assembly (10) to be mounted to instrument panels (14) and armrest cushions alike. A base plate (24) telescopes in a substantially horizontal plane (A) out of the housing (12). A container stabilizing plate (32) moves from a collapsed position adjacent the baseplate (24) to a stabilizing position spaced vertically up and away from the base plate (24). A primary link (42) and a second link (50) maintain the container stabilizing plate (32) in a position parallel to the plane (A).
