A cup holder assembly includes a container aperture, a travel guide, a stabilizer arm aperture, a stabilizer arm, and a biasing member. The travel guide is on an exterior surface of the container aperture. The stabilizer arm aperture is radially inward of the travel guide. The stabilizer arm is pivotable about a living hinge and is inserted into the stabilizer arm aperture. The travel guide guides radial actuation of the stabilizer arm. The biasing member biases the stabilizer arm radially inward.

An apparatus includes a flexible absorbent panel configured to surround, at least in part, a drink container. The drink container is configured to receive a liquid therein. The flexible absorbent panel is also configured to surround, at least in part, the drink container. The flexible absorbent panel is also configured to absorb, at least in part, the liquid once the flexible absorbent panel is positioned, at least in part, proximate to the drink container, and the liquid is inadvertently spilled from the drink container.

A holding system includes a holder. The holder includes a peripheral lip and a flexible collar extending inward and downward from the peripheral lip. The flexible collar defines an opening configured to receive an object. The holding system further includes at least one of (a) a plurality of slide pads having at least a portion thereof positioned along an upper side of the flexible collar or (b) a biasing element extending along and around a periphery of an underside of the flexible collar.

A storage container is disclosed. A storage container according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: at least one accommodation portion for accommodating goods; and a contact portion formed at the inner lateral surface of the accommodation portion and transferring heat to the goods by making contact with the inner lateral surface of the goods, wherein the inner lateral surface of the accommodation portion is formed in any one of a non-circular shape, a combined shape of a circle and a non-circle, a combined shape of circles having different radii of curvature, a combined shape of a non-circle and a non-circle, a combined shape of a circle or a non-circle and a polygon, a combined shape of a circle or a non-circle and a plane, a combined shape of different shapes of polygons, and a polygonal shape.

A retainer assembly for a cup holder includes an arm defining an first axis and a second axis, the arm configured to pivot about an first axis, and a finger pivotally coupled to the arm about the second axis. The finger is configured to be received in the cup holder.

A cup holder includes an enclosure portion configured to hold a drink container inserted therein so as to surround the drink container from an outer peripheral side. An inner peripheral surface of the enclosure portion includes inner peripheral supporting surfaces and recessed surfaces arranged side -by side in a circumferential direction, the inner peripheral supporting surfaces extending in the circumferential direction so as to continuously or intermittently draw arc surfaces concentric to each other with the same diameter, the recessed surfaces extending in the circumferential direction in a shape recessed radially outward relative to the inner peripheral supporting surfaces.

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 for a vehicle may include a holder body having an upper surface opened and having a receiving space formed therein, a guide movable to inside the holder body, and an elastic member provided on at least a portion of the guide and an external circumferential surface of the holder body. The elastic member is integrally formed with the holder body by injection molding.
