A dynamic ergonomic surface system for use in a motor vehicle includes an ergonomic surface that is inlayed in a surrounding surface and transitions between states, including: a neutral state in which the ergonomic surface is consistent with the surrounding surface, and at least one ergonomic support state in which the ergonomic surface provides ergonomic support for a user operating an input device. The dynamic ergonomic surface system also includes a sensor system that detects events triggering the transition between states, and a controller that controls the ergonomic surface to transition between the states in response to the detected events.

A center console for a motor vehicle, having a base portion and an armrest arranged on the base portion in a backrest position and which has a support face for an arm. In order to provide an adequate storage surface for the driver of a motor vehicle, there is provision for the armrest to have a pivot element which has an upper side which at least partially forms the support face in the backrest position and which can be pivoted forward with respect to the base portion about a front pivot axis which extends in the transverse vehicle direction into a storage position, in which a lower side of the pivot element forms a storage surface.

A system for attaching a storage panel to a vehicle seat may include a storage panel with a defined plane, top surface, and bottom surface, with at least one mounting hole passing from the top surface to the bottom surface. Additionally, the system may also include at least one top bracket with a first lip to attach to a seat frame structure. The system may also include a bottom bracket with a section to attach to the seat frame structure.

Methods for using a carseat tray and carseat tray devices are disclosed. The device includes a front section, a rear section that is seamlessly attached to the rear section, a rim that is attached to the front section and the rear section, wherein the rim at the front section is on an incline with respect to the horizontal axis, and wherein the rim at the rear section is perpendicular to the horizontal axis, a plurality of raised surfaces on an internal surface, and a fastener attached to an external surface.

A shelf or tray for a vehicle which may be an interior trim component of the vehicle is disclosed. The tray includes a wall element and a holding element. The wall element includes a first section and a second section. The first section is at least partially mounted in a first guide device of the holding element. The first section can be latched in a defined manner within the guide device by means of at least one latching element and, by a movement of the first section and/or the second section, thus ensuring a defined opening or closing of the shelf or tray due to the latching of the latching element.
