Abstract: A receiving device for beverage containers is disclosed. The receiving device comprises a supporting construction that is open at the top, which can receive the particular beverage container and consists at least of a first material. Furthermore, at least one heat-conducting element which can forward heat and/or cold to a beverage container received by the supporting construction. In addition, one or more thermoelectric air-conditioning units for generating heat and/or cold. The one or more thermoelectrical air-conditioning units have a thermally conductive contact with the at least one heat-conducting element. The at least one heat-conducting element consists of at least one second material which has an elevated thermal conductivity in comparison to the at least one first material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a temperature-controllable beverage holder (10), having a holding device (12) that is configured for holding a drinking vessel (54) and that provides a temperature control chamber (14) for the drinking vessel (54), a Peltier element (16) that is coupled to the temperature control chamber (14) in a heat-transmitting manner, a heat transport body (18) that is coupled to the Peltier element (16) in a heat-transmitting manner, and a fastening device (20) that is configured for fastening the Peltier element (16) and the heat transport body (18) to the holding device (12), wherein the fastening device (20) is configured for detachably fastening the Peltier element (16) and the heat transport body (18) to the holding device (12). The invention further relates to a dashboard (50) for a vehicle (100), and to a vehicle (100) having such a temperature-controllable beverage holder (10).

Abstract: A temperature controllable receiving and/or holding device comprising: (a) at least one temperature control element for the heating and/or cooling of at least one cavity as well as an object received therein, and (b) at least one operating element situated in physical proximity to the at least one cavity for the activating, deactivating, and/or controlling of a heating function or a cooling function of the at least one temperature control element, which operating element especially with the temperature control element activated and/or the object received in the cavity is optically highlighted and/or identified in an operating console of a vehicle interior; wherein the temperature controllable receiving and/or holding device receives an object, and the temperature controllable receiving and/or holding device is part of a vehicle interior, with the at least one cavity for receiving of the object.
