STORAGE CONTAINER SHELF SECURING SYSTEM
A storage container shelf securing system, in one embodiment, may include a base configured to be coupled to a storage container and a shelf between two shelf arms extending upwardly from the base.
Modular folding shelf for personal devices
Described are modular folding shelves configured for removably connecting with a passenger seat back to support small items. The modular folding shelves can include an attachment portion configured to removably connect with a passenger seat back, a platform portion, and a folding support element connected between the attachment portion and the platform portion. The folding support element can be configured to fold between the attachment portion and platform portion when the platform portion is stowed, and to extend when the platform portion is deployed such that the folding support element supports the platform portion and prevents it from extending beyond the deployed configuration. The platform portion is pivotally connected with the attachment portion to allow the platform portion to fold upward and rest against or proximate to the passenger seat back when the modular shelf is installed and in a stowed configuration, and to extend away from the passenger seat back in a deployed configuration.
Retractable cover assemblies that removably cover gaps between vehicle seats and center consoles
A vehicle includes a driver seat, a front passenger seat and a console assembly located between the driver seat and the front passenger seat. At least one of the driver seat and the front passenger seat is spaced from the console assembly in a vehicle lateral direction forming a gap between the console assembly and the at least one of the driver seat and the front passenger seat. A retractable cover assembly includes a flexible, sheet-form cover that is connected to a retract device that takes up or pays out the cover between extended and retracted configurations.

Automated vehicle seats
Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with the operation of a vehicle are provided. For example a vehicle computing system can receive occupancy data that includes information associated with occupancy of a vehicle that includes seats. One or more states of the vehicle can be determined. The states of the vehicle can include a disposition of any object that is within the vehicle. Further, a configuration of the seats in the vehicle can be determined based on the occupancy data and the states of the vehicle. The configuration can include a disposition of the seats inside the vehicle. Furthermore, at least one of the seats can be adjusted based on the configuration that was determined.
TRAY BRACKET FOR CAR SEAT BACK
A tray bracket for car seat back is provided, including: a fixing unit, a hanging board, a tray, and a placement unit. The fixing unit is for fixing to at least one pillar on a car seat supporting a headrest; the hanging board has a back area and a front area with opposite positions. The back area forms an array of adjustment components with different heights. The fixing unit is engaged with one of the adjustment components. The front area is distributed with several clips; the tray is pivotally connected to the bottom of the hanging board, the tray is tightly attached to the hanging board in the folded state, and can be horizontal and perpendicular to the hanging board when opened. The other side of the tray is provided with the placement unit, for placing a carton between the placement unit and the tray.
Movable support surfaces
A support surface includes a table top, a movement stage, a movement actuator, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The movement stage is coupled to the table top and configured to couple to a structure. The movement stage is further configured to permit the table top to move in a degree of freedom. The movement actuator is operable to move the table top in the degree of freedom. The first sensor is for receiving a first user input. The second sensor is for receiving a second user input. The controller operates the movement actuator to move the table top according to the first user input received by the first sensor when the second user input is simultaneously received by the second sensor.
Vehicle floor covering system
A vehicle floor mat system comprising a vehicle floor tray molded from an extrusion polymer sheet, a vehicle floor mat affixation device containing a circular shaped body with axial extending tines, and a removable carpet attachment is disclosed. The vehicle floor mat system resists affixation device pull-out and shear forces applied to the mat with respect to the original equipment manufacturer's floor covering on which the mat is placed but allows for easy removal and replacement of the vehicle floor mat and of the affixation devices.
Deployable table apparatus
A deployable table apparatus for a vehicle includes a support arm and a carrier member. The carrier member is mounted to the support arm and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A table is mounted to the carrier member and is pivotable between a first position suitable for stowage and a second position suitable for use. A biasing mechanism is provided for biasing the carrier member towards the extended position. Movement of the carrier member from the extended position to the retracted position is inhibited when the table is in the second position. Pivoting the table to the second position is inhibited when the carrier member is in the retracted position.
Sleeper bunk system
In one aspect, a sleeper bunk is provided that includes a support for a mattress. The support includes an assembly of support portions each having at least one surface arranged to support an underside of the mattress. The sleeper bunk includes at least one mount connected to the support and configured to facilitate movement of the support and the mattress thereon between a raised orientation and a lowered orientation. The support portions have overlapping portions configured to distribute a load from the mattress between the support portions.
