An armrest assembly and aircraft passenger seat including the same, the armrest assembly including an arm having a top cutout and a cup holder insert disposed within the top cutout and retained on the arm by front and rear arm caps affixed atop the arm that overlap portions of the installed cup holder insert, the cup holder insert including a recessed center portion at depth within the arm and disposed between upstanding concave end walls, the cup holder insert usable to secure a beverage or other items when the arm is in a deployed use position.

A vehicle comprises: a dispenser for a liquid, the dispenser comprising an outlet for the liquid; and a source of ultraviolet light disposed to emit the ultraviolet light onto the outlet of the dispenser. The dispenser further comprises a first position and a second position that is different than the first position. The outlet of the dispenser is disposed closer to the source of ultraviolet light when the dispenser is in the second position than when the dispenser is in the first position. The vehicle comprises a controller in communication with the source of the ultraviolet light. The controller causes the source of ultraviolet light to emit the ultraviolet light when the dispenser is in the second position but not when the dispenser is in the first position.

A beverage dispensing system for selectively dispensing a beverage in a vehicle includes a vehicle that has a cabin and an outer surface. A refrigerator is positioned within the vehicle and the refrigerator contains and cools a beverage. A dispensing unit is fluidly coupled to the refrigerator and the dispensing unit selectively dispenses the beverage. The dispensing unit is positioned within the cabin to be accessible to a driver of the vehicle. A charging unit is coupled to the vehicle thereby facilitating the charging to be exposed to sunlight. The charging unit converts sunlight into electrical energy and the charging unit is electrically coupled to the refrigerator and the dispensing unit.

A in-vehicle coffee maker assembly for brewing a cup of coffee in a vehicle includes a vehicle that has an internal combustion engine. A water reservoir is coupled to the vehicle and the water reservoir is positioned in an engine compartment of the vehicle. The water reservoir contains potable water and the water reservoir is in thermal communication with the internal combustion engine. Thus, the internal combustion engine heats the potable water in the water reservoir when the internal combustion engine is running. A coffee maker is integrated into the vehicle. The coffee maker is in fluid communication with the water reservoir such that the coffee maker receives the potable water for brewing coffee.

The vehicular water-dispensing system is a water dispensing system adapted for use in a vehicle. Water is stored within a reservoir located in the trunk of the vehicle and may be pumped through a filter to one of two retractable hoses. One retractable hose is provided on each side of the dashboard and the retractable hoses may be pulled out of the dashboard to use. Each retractable hose terminates with a mouthpiece. When either retractable hose is released that hose is pulled back into the dashboard. When not in use, the retractable hoses are wound around spring-loaded reels. The vehicular water-dispensing system may further comprise a refrigeration system adjacent to the reservoir to chill the water.
