kicking around a "between-the-legs" cup holder based on a sketch from a requester on this Sunday morning. Why... because everyone needs a cup holder. :)

this one is .875 inch thick when folded so it should be out of the way of the feet upon entry. however, I am stuck on this design with the extended latching mechanism. perhaps something will come to me over time. I also need to verify it will fit in that space.

cup holder with standard sports water bottle resting on the floor with foam and carpeting in my aircraft. I'll test the spring function. It is not optimal but is simple and may be fine. Otherwise, I will move on to another approach. Mounted with 3M Dual Lock or provision is there for mount screws. It was a fun project.

It could also be used as a coffee cup holder, but do you really want hot coffee between your legs? But, there is always that guy that says, YES. :)
