A cupholder assembly adapted to be mounted to a support structure and a table including a cupholder assembly are provided. In one example, the cupholder assembly includes a housing that extends in a distal direction from a proximal housing portion to a distal housing portion. The housing is configured to pivotally couple to the support structure to move between a mounted position and a rotated position that is rotated relative to the mounted position. A cupholder subassembly is slidingly coupled to the housing to move between a stowed position substantially within the housing and a deployed position extending from the housing in the distal direction.

This shaft-support structure for a rotary body is provided with a bearing portion disposed to a base panel and a fulcrum shaft that is disposed to a cup holder and is supported by the bearing portion in a rotatable manner. The bearing portion has slits on the side apart from the base panel. A center cover is disposed at a position facing the slits. The cup holder is configured in such a way that, when a load exceeding a predetermined level is exerted in the direction away from the base panel, the fulcrum shaft moves in a direction in which the fulcrum shaft disengages from the bearing portion through the slits and, therewith, by pressing the center cover from the inside and causing the center cover to move in the direction separating from the bearing portion, the fulcrum shaft disengages from the bearing portion.

A motor vehicle including a holding device configured to retain objects. The holding device includes at least one holding unit having a base, and a holding structure that extends away from the base in a primary direction and that contains two flexurally elastic lateral jaws that extend, proceeding from the base in the primary direction, to a head region, and a plurality of rigid coupling stays that are articulated on both lateral jaws and are mutually spaced apart in the primary direction. At least one of the flexurally elastic lateral jaws forms a holding jaw for engaging on a respective one of the objects.

A cup holder for a vehicle that stably supports a cup stored in a hole of the cup holder regardless of the size of the cup and prevents the beverage from spilling out of the cup with the cup stored in the hole released from the hole or falling on a side. Such cup holder comprises a storage tray, a cup support installed rotatably in one or the other direction in a storage space formed in the storage tray, a flap link making a back-and-forth movement while compressing a link spring, and an auxiliary cup support having a lower end rotating around a hinge axis rotatably coupled to a flap housing and an upper portion drawn into or out of the storage space depending on the amount of the back-and-forth movement of the flap link.

A holder for holding, for example, a beverage can, in a tilt-proof manner, in a motor vehicle is designed with two rings that are disposed concentrically inside one another, serving as supports (7), which can be consecutively raised and lowered by rotating a control sleeve comprising radial cams. By raising only the larger ring, the holder is suitable for a beverage can having a larger diameter, and by raising both rings, it is suitable for a beverage can having a smaller diameter.

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.

A cup holder integrated with a passenger seat is disclosed. The cup holder comprises a pair of prongs and a back piece. The prongs and the back piece are configured to move between a stowed upright position and a service position relative to the back of the passenger seat. The back piece is configured to cover the prongs when the prongs and the back piece are in the stowed upright position. The prongs are configured to hold a container in the service position. The back piece is configured to support the container in the service position.

A beverage container holding device includes a storage member having a storage space whose top is open and which is configured to receive a beverage container, and a movable floor mounted to the storage member such that the movable floor can move up and down and is configured to support to bottom of the beverage container. The storage member includes support members that advance into the storage space to support the beverage container, and support biasing members for causing the support members to advance into the storage space. The movable floor has support retracting members for causing the support members to move backward such that the support members retract from the storage space

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 cup holder for a vehicle may include a holder body slidably coupled to a cup holder mounting portion in the vehicle, a finger elastically and pivotably mounted to the holder body, and configured to press and support a side surface of a cup inserted into the cup holder together with the holder body, a support connected to the holder body by a link such that the support is vertically movable in accordance with pivotal movement of the link, the support being configured to support a bottom portion of the cup, and a locking member disposed between the finger and the link, to lock the link, for prevention of pivotal movement of the link, or to unlock the link in linkage with pivotal operation of the finger.
