A container holder is pivotally mounted to an armrest by mateably engageable hinge structures. The first hinge structure is located in a compartment in the armrest near a front wall, and includes a slot and a hole aligned with the end of the slot. The second hinge structure includes first and second protrusions configured to mateably engage the slot and the hole. The container holder is assembled to the armrest by extending the first protrusion into the hole, and then by rotating the container holder to slide the second protrusion into the slot. A detent on the slot holds the second protrusion in position. Further, the leg is U-shaped to mateably engage the front wall of the armrest when the container holder is moved to the extended use position, thereby holding the container holder protrusion in the slot when in the use position. Still further, the armrest includes a cover configured to close on the container holder to further interlockingly hold the second protrusion in the slot when in the use position.

A hinge mounting structure for vehicle components comprising: a vehicle component defining a compartment including a first hinge structure positioned in the compartment; and a functional member including a second hinge structure configured to mateably engage said first hinge structure, one of said first and second hinge structures including a slot and a hole spaced from and axially aligned with an end of said slot, and the other of said first and second hinge structures including a first protrusion for telescopingly engaging the hole and a second protrusion configured to slidably engage said slot, the second protrusion being configured to rotatably slidingly engage said slot after said first protrusion is inserted into said hole so that said functional member is readily installable by rotating the functional member about a vertical first axis and is thereafter pivotable between storage and use positions about a horizontal second axis that is generally perpendicular to the first axis.
