Abstract: A combined ashtray and container, e.g., beverage can, holder for use in a motor vehicle. An ashtray housing has an ashtray cup movable into and out of the housing. An additional housing attached at the ashtray housing provides a container, e.g., beverage can holder. The beverage can holder has a support for the container or beverage can. Spaced up from the support is a holding element which grips at least partially around the container. Both the support and the holding element are arranged parallel to each other and spaced from each other in their open condition. Both the holding element and the support are foldable inward into a trough in the additional housing. The support provides a covering flap over the holding element when they are pivoted into the trough in the additional housing.
