The sidewall includes a heat source for providing heat to the cupholder. The electronic heating unit is integrated with the sidewall. The electronic heating unit has an electrical connector configured to be electrically connected to another electrical connector of a vehicle center console to draw electrical power from the another electrical connector to power the heat source.

A retractable cup holder is provided, including: a main base, disposed with a plurality of guide grooves inside located at different heights, and with a placement surface as a top; a gear set, located inside the main base; at least three surrounding arms, each including a sliding element and a surrounding element connected to each other, the sliding element being located movably in the corresponding guide groove; the plurality of the surrounding elements being erected around the main base, each peripheral gear being positioned corresponding to the sliding element, and the actuating gear meshing with the actuating rack; when one of the surrounding arms moving, the rest of the surrounding arms moving synchronously through the meshed gear set; a stopper; partially restricted in the main base but movable for a short distance; after the stopper engaging a sliding element, the surrounding arm becoming unable to move.

A drinking receptacle holder comprising a holding portion, the holding portion providing an aperture with a variable size, and a base portion, wherein the drinking receptacle holder is configured so that a drinking receptacle can be received within the aperture of the holding portion with the drinking receptacle resting upon the base portion, wherein the base portion is configured to be pushed away from the holding portion by the drinking receptacle as the drinking receptacle is moved through the aperture of the holding portion, and wherein the holding portion is connected to the base portion such that the size of the aperture is configured to reduce as the base portion is pushed away from the holding portion.

A cup holder assembly includes a stationary upper ring, a lower cup vertically movable relative to the stationary upper ring between a first position and a second position, a flexible sleeve extending between an upper edge of the lower cup and a bottom edge of the stationary upper ring, and an actuator adapted to selectively move the lower cup relative to the stationary upper ring between the first and second positions, thereby simultaneously varying a depth of the cup holder assembly and varying an inner diameter of the cup holder assembly.

A holder for a beverage container, for example a beverage can, which is provided for holding the beverage container in a tilt-proof manner in a motor vehicle. Supports are designed so as to laterally support the beverage container by way of a supporting element, which is pivotably mounted at a support carrier and urged by a preloaded support spring into the holder. An electric motor pivots the support carriers inwardly, so that the supporting elements are laterally pushed by the support springs from the outside against the beverage container placed into the holder, in order to hold the beverage container in a tilt-proof manner.
