A smart safe console system is provided herein. The smart safe console system includes a smart safe console assembly for mounting in a vehicle, having a safe body suitable for securing an electronic device, a button configured for controlling input and output to and from the electronic device when a vehicle hosting the smart safe console system is in use, and a wireless charging apparatus. Such smart safe console system is useful for improving the safety of a user when traveling in a vehicle with an electronic device.

A container is disclosed that has a housing and a lid. The lid has a planar portion and a latch that is freely movable parallel to the planar portion of the lid. The latch has a retention feature and a first reference surface that is perpendicular to the planar portion of the lid. There is a latch mechanism coupled to the housing that has an engagement element configured to engage the retention feature of the latch and a first alignment feature having a first alignment surface. The first alignment feature is configured to laterally displace the latch in a first direction such that the first reference surface aligns with the first alignment surface when the lid is brought together with the housing with the fastener laterally displaced away from the engagement element in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.

A vehicle center console assembly includes a vehicle body structure and a center console assembly. The vehicle body structure includes a passenger compartment floor with a front seat assembly installed to the floor and a pair of second row seats installed to the floor rearward of the front seat assembly. The center console assembly is releasably attached to the floor between the pair of second row seats. The center console has a manually operated latch mechanism operable between a locked orientation in which the center console is fixedly attached to the floor in an installed orientation and a release orientation in which the center console is released from attachment to the floor and is movable away from the installed orientation and out of the vehicle.

A storage console includes a housing with a storage chamber, two closure members connected to the housing, an actuator movably arranged in the housing and a latch mechanism rotatably connected to the housing. The two closure members can be rotated to open or close the storage chamber. The latch mechanism includes two latch members and a synchronizer connected between the two latch members. The movement of the actuator actuates the two latch members to rotate to a lock position in which the two latch members engage with the two closure members or a release position in which the two latch members are separated from the two closure members. The two closure members of the storage console can be opened synchronously by use of the actuator and closed independently of each other.

A vehicle interior component comprising a bin moveable relative to a base is disclosed. The bin may provide a closed position and an open position for bin access. The open position may comprise a side access state and an end access state comprising a front access state and/or a rear access state. The bin may move laterally relative to the base to provide the end access state. The bin may pivot relative to the base to provide the side access state. The component may comprise a carrier for the bin to extend relative to the base to provide the front access state. The base may comprise an end door assembly to open for the bin in the end access state. The bin may pivot with a side door assembly in the side access state. The component may comprise a console; floor console; center console; or storage compartment.

A storage box includes a door that is coupled to the base. A pivot pin is coupled to the door and is operable between an engaged position, wherein the pivot pin is rotatably engaged with the base, and a disengaged position. The pivot pin is configured to move door-inboard due to contact with the base as the pivot pin moves from the disengaged position to the engaged position.
