Abstract
A built-in combination (10) for use in a motor vehicle includes an ashtray (14) that is displaceable forwards into an inaccessible position and rearwards into an accessible position. A receiving element (24) having an insertion opening (28) for a beverage container is arranged at the rear side of the ashtray (14). The receiving element is pivotally connected to the ashtray (14), thus taking up a position of use when the ashtray (14) is displaced forwards. In the position of use, a beverage container can be inserted into the insertion opening (28).
