Abstract:

A console assembly for a vehicle includes a compartment side wall. The compartment side wall extends from a compartment floor to an upper rim of the compartment side wall. The console assembly includes a receptacle side wall that extends upward from a receptacle floor of the console assembly to define a receptacle. The console assembly further includes a panel that has opposite first and second sides. The panel is pivotable between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the panel, the panel, the compartment side wall, and the compartment floor define a compartment of the console assembly, and the first side of the panel faces the compartment. In the second position, the panel covers the receptacle of the console assembly and a surface of the first side of the panel is substantially planar with a surface of the compartment floor.

International Classification:

B60R 7/04

Abstract:

A console assembly includes a console assembly housing with a member disposed within a wall thereof that is rotatable between a plurality of positions. The member includes a passenger accessible feature that is not accessible when the member is in a first, closed position and is accessible when the member is placed in the second, open position. The member includes two member protrusions that engage with corresponding console protrusions such that the member is slidably guided through a plurality of positions. The protrusions may have differing centers of rotation making the member rotate and project simultaneously.
