A cup holder may include a base having a threaded flange configured to mount the cup holder. A pair of arms may be hingedly coupled to the base and may extend from the base to define an opening. Each of the pair of arms may be moveable to vary a size of the opening. A basket may be formed from a flexible material and coupled to the pair of arms. A cavity may extend from a bottom of the basket to the opening formed between the pair of arms.

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 beverage container holding device includes a first rotating member supported by a holder main body such that the first rotating member can swing horizontally. The first rotating member includes a first shaft member supported by the holder main body and extending in an up-and-down direction, and a first main body supported by the first shaft member such that the first main body can be present in a receiving portion and retract from the receiving portion. The first main body includes a front contact surface portion having a contact portion, which the beverage container received in the receiving portion can contact. The front contact surface portion makes, at least at the contact portion, an obtuse angle with an imaginary line extending from a center of the first shaft member to the contact portion.

A receptacle storage structure formed in an interior member of a sliding door movable in a front-and-rear direction of a vehicle, includes a bottom wall part and a peripheral wall part forming a storage space with an upward opening. The peripheral wall part includes a displacement wall part forming at least an upper part of a front-side wall part in the front-and-rear direction and displaceable to a front side in the front-and-rear direction. The displacement wall part is tiltable to the front side in the front-and-rear direction.

A holding device for a motor vehicle, includes at least one rod element, which has a first end with a cross-sectional surface, which forms a part of a holding surface of the holding device. A main extension axis of the at least one rod element intersects the part of the holding surface such that a second end, opposite the first end, of the at least one rod element is facing away from the part of the holding surface and protrudes into the holding device, and an adjustment device for adjusting the at least one rod element along the main extension direction.

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 container holder is disclosed and includes an inner body defining an innermost surface, an outer body at least partially surrounding the inner body that is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and one or more retaining members. The retaining members each define a retaining surface and are configured to abut against and exert a clamping force upon the container. The retaining members are each connected to the inner body by a hinged connection and are configured to actuate about the hinged connection between a first position where the retaining surface is at a maximum distance when measured from the axis of rotation of the outer body and a second position where the retaining surface is measured at a minimum distance when measured from the axis of rotation of the outer body. The container holder also includes one or more camming members disposed around the outer body.

A container holder configured to hold a container includes a holder body including a container receiver that contains the container and has an opening and a bottom surface, and a container-holding mechanism that stably holds the container contained in the container receiver. The container-holding mechanism includes a swing member that is swingable around a first support shaft relative to the holder body, a turning member that is turnable around a second support shaft relative to the swing member, and a first biasing member that biases the swing member. In a process of putting or taking the container in or out of the container receiver, an outer surface of the container abuts on a part of an outer surface of the swing member or the turning member, and the swing member swings around the first support shaft or the turning member turns around the second support shaft.

A cup holder includes a coupling member that causes a locking pawl to be engaged with a locking recess when a cam plate is catching a beverage container, and causes the locking pawl to be disengaged from the locking pawl when the cam plate does not catch the beverage container.

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.
