A vehicle beverage holder (10) has a rigid beverage holder frame (18) defining at least one cup-shaped receptacle (20, 20) having a circumferential wall (24), and defining a beverage container receiving space (21, 21) accessible from above for holding a beverage container (12). At least one hump opening (30) extends across a curved section of the circumferential wall (24). A clamping textile body (50) is outward of the circumferential wall (24) and forms a clamping textile hump (40) that projects convexly in a radial direction through the hump opening (30) and into the receiving space (21). At least one separate clamping shell (60, 60) is outward of the clamping textile body (50) and clamps the clamping textile body (50) between the circumferential wall (24) and the clamping shell (60, 60).

An apparatus for securing one or more items of stemware includes a base plate, one or more posts, a retainer, and one or more feet. The feet and base plate cooperatively secure the base portion of the item of stemware, and the retainer includes arms defining a stem receiving space that secures the stem of the item of stemware. The feet are coupled to the arms. The arms are flexible so as to accommodate different sizes of stems and bases in stemware with a single rack.

The technology disclosed relates to modularized beverage holder for actively cooling beverages. The modularized beverage holder includes a sleeve shaped beverage container receiver having a unibody construction comprising an insulating material, an interior opening adapted to receive beverage containers of varying sizes and materials, a bottom portion adapted to receive and provide support for beverage containers inserted into the interior opening of the sleeve shaped beverage container receiver, and a sidewall including an interior surface, an exterior surface and one or more via holes. The beverage holder further includes a first modular engine for actively cooling beverages, the first modular engine being mounted to the sleeve shaped beverage container receiver, and the first modular engine including a first thermal conductor member, and a first active temperature control system.

An item holder includes a receiving well with a sidewall and an upper opening. One or more air bladders are disposed within the receiving well and are operable between inflated and deflated conditions within the receiving well. The air bladders substantially fill the upper opening when the air bladders are in the inflated condition to provide a filled receiving well appearance. A sensor is configured to sense an item being received in or removed from the receiving well. The air bladders deflate from the inflated condition to the deflated condition as an item is received in the receiving well. The air bladders may include a filler material that is predisposed to an expanded condition which correlates to the air bladders being in the inflated condition to substantially fill the upper opening of the receiving well.

An item holder includes a receiving well with an upper opening. First and second air bladders are disposed in the receiving well. Upper portions of outer casings of the air bladders are substantially flush with the upper opening of the receiving well when the air bladders are in an inflated condition. Also, the abutment portions abut one another along an abutment seam when the air bladders are in an inflated condition. A sensor may be sued to detect the receiving of an item in the receiving well. Valves assemblies are opened as the sensors detect an item being received in the receiving well. The item compresses a filler material disposed within the air bladders as the item is received in the receiving well. When the item is removed from the receiving well, the filler material expands to inflate the air bladders to the at-rest position.

A cup holder including a case for receiving a cup, having an opening and a bottom opposite to the opening; a rotational arm including a first arm member rotatably connected to the case, and a second arm member rotatably connected to the first arm member and having a retaining member for holding the cup; and a platform slidably arranged in the case to move between a first position in which the platform is positioned at the opening of the case, and a second position in which the platform is positioned at the bottom of the case, the platform an abutting portion extending downwardly therefrom to abut against the first arm member. When the platform moves from the first position to the second position, the abutting portion abuts against the first arm member to rotate the rotational arm toward the case and the retaining member is disposed inside the case.

The present invention relates to a cup holder for an automobile, which is installed in the interior of a vehicle for holding a beverage cup or a beverage can, and includes a capturing part accommodated in a case (10) through a front cover (13) of a cup holder or advancing forward, and a support plate (31) connected to the capturing part (21) via a first link plate (51) and a second link plate (54), wherein in a use state that the capturing part (21) advances forward from the case (10), when a user puts a beverage cup on the support plate (31) in an exposed state or moves the support plate (31) slightly downward, the support plate (31) quickly moves downward and then maintains the moved state, and on the contrary, when the user rotates the support plate (31) and the capturing part (21) on the plane to store the support plate (31) and the capturing part (21) into the case (10) or moves the support plate (31) slightly upward, the support plate (31) quickly moves upward and is folded to be easily stored in the case (10) together with the capturing part (21).

A juvenile seat includes a seat bottom and a cupholder support coupled to the seat bottom. The juvenile seat further includes a cupholder coupled removably to the cupholder support. The cupholder includes a cupholder mount coupled to the cupholder support to retain the cupholder to the cupholder support and a cupholder base at least partially defining an interior container-receiving space.

A vehicle cup holder is provided and includes a base and a sidewall together defining an interior space for receiving a beverage container. A number of fingers extend through the sidewall for retaining the beverage container. A number of light pipes are each coupled to a corresponding finger for transmitting light into the interior space.
