A portable cigar holder for holding both a lit cigar and an extinguished stub at the same time, configured to be mounted on a support in moving vehicle. The cigar holder comprises a vertical heat-resistant rubber tube with a resilient tubular sidewall and an open upper end, a metal cup connected to or inserted in a lower end of the tube, and a pair of splits formed in opposing sides of the resilient sidewall. The splits define horizontally spaced vertical cigar-clamping slots with resiliently serrated side edges, the slots terminating at their lower ends above the rim of the metal cup.

A component for a vehicle interior is disclosed. The component may comprise a base, a bin moveable between closed and open positions, a tray moveable between retracted and intermediate positions and a cover moveable between an upward position to cover the tray and a lowered position to uncover the tray. The bin may be opened when the tray is in the retracted and intermediate positions. The tray may move from the retracted to the intermediate position when the bin is open and closed. The tray may move from the intermediate to an extended position. The component may comprise a mechanism to retain the bin, guide movement of the bin and guide movement of the cover. The component may comprise a first button to move the cover to uncover the tray and a second button to move the cover and open the bin.

An apparatus for securely holding a flexible material has a first securing member has a first outer circumference and a first shape, and a second securing member having a second inner circumference and a second shape Wherein the second inner circumference is about the same size, or slightly smaller than, the first member's first outer circumference, such that the second member positioned upon the first member creates static friction between the first outer circumference and the second inner circumference. The apparatus has a backing support that is in physical connection with, or incorporated as part of, either the first member or the second member. A thin flexible material, such as a plastic waste bag, placed between the first member and the second member is secured by positioning the first member and second member together, the positioning and static friction not shearing the flexible material. The static friction between the first outer circumference and the second inner circumference secures and immobilizes the thin flexible material contained within.

A refuse bag support apparatus for use with a vehicle is provided. The support apparatus includes a base member having a frame and a first pad slidably mounted to a second pad, the first pad and the second pad oriented substantially parallel to each other and able to adjust to create space sufficiently large to permit a tire of the vehicle to be disposed between the first pad and the second pad to support the base member, and a collar mechanically coupled to the frame of the base member. The collar supports a refuse bag.
