A seat assembly including a first armrest having a first lateral side and a first mounting panel pivotally attached to the first lateral side, and a second armrest having a second lateral side facing the first armrest, and a second mounting panel pivotally attached to the second lateral side. The mounting panels are pivotable between stowed positions and deployed positions. A bridge table is removably positionable between the first and second armrests and has a first lateral side for mounting upon the first mounting panel and a second lateral side for mounting upon the second mounting panel, each lateral side including a respective engagement feature for releasably engaging one of the mounting panels. When not in use, the bridge table stores within a box attachable below a seat position of the seat assembly.

This disclosure details vehicle front trunk utility systems for increasing the usefulness of front truck cargo spaces. In exemplary embodiments, a vehicle front trunk utility system includes a utility table that may be deployed between a first configuration in which the utility table functions as a floor liner of a cargo space of the front trunk and a second configuration in which the utility table functions as a tabletop or work space that extends away from the cargo space. The utility systems of this disclosure may additionally or alternatively include various other utility features including but not limited to storage compartments, lighting, battery and stereo interface panels, power outlets, etc.

A passenger tray with an integrated user interface device is disclosed. In embodiments, a passenger tray assembly includes a passenger tray with a cavity defined in a surface of the passenger tray. A user interface device is disposed within the cavity. The user interface device includes a capacitive touch interface that is configured to generate signals for controlling one or more electronic components in a passenger environment. For example, the capacitive touch interface can be configured to generate signals for controlling an in-flight entertainment device, an actuator of a passenger chair, a passenger light system, and/or a flight attendant alert system.

A positionable platform for an interior of a vehicle comprising: a planar top surface; a bottom housing with a channel; and a releasable locking mechanism disposed between the planar top surface and the bottom housing. The releasable locking mechanism includes: a first bracket; a second bracket layered beside the first bracket; a button accessible for manipulation connected to the first bracket; a locked state where the second bracket extends into the channel; and an unlocked state where the movement of the button in a first direction causes movement of the first bracket in the first direction, which causes movement of the second bracket in a second direction different than the first direction that withdraws the second bracket from the channel or reduces the extension of the second bracket into the channel.

An autonomous vehicle may include a plurality of seats rotatably provided on a vehicle floor of the vehicle; a console device rail provided between the plurality of seats and extending in a longitudinal direction thereof; and a console device mounted on the console device rail and configured for sliding between the plurality of seats along the console device rail, the console device mounted on the console device rail via a rotation shaft to be rotatable about the rotation shaft relative to the console device rail, wherein when the console device is slid along and rotated relative to the console device rail during rotation of the seat, the interference by the seats and the console device is prevented.

A center console for a motor vehicle includes a tray (11) which can be deployed in the direction of the vehicle dashboard. The tray is mounted on top of a generally rectangular base portion (10) which provides storage space, accessible by pivoting upward the tray components and a cover (1), both of which are hinged (6, 28, 30) on an upper rear lip of the box. The tray includes panels (113, 114) which slide out to left and right to provide a larger support surface for papers, food and/or beverages. A support leg (116) under the forwardly extending tray can pivot (13, 117) to a diagonal orientation, engaging with a front face of the base portion (10), to provide additional support and bearing capacity to the deployed tray (111).

A support surface system includes a support surface portion that defines mounting locations spaced from one another and a fixture configured to secure an object. The support surface system also includes a retention portion having a first portion defined by the support surface portion at each of the mounting locations and a second portion defined by the fixture, with the second portion arranged to couple with the first portion at any of the mounting locations. The retention portion alternates between a retained state, in which the first portion and the second portion are coupled and motion of the fixture is restrained, and an unretained state, in which the first portion and the second portion are decoupled and the fixture is movable with respect to the support surface portion.

A convertible lounge sofa system for seating, lounging, and working having a sofa seat bottom having a dual armrest/headrest positioned on one end, sofa seat bottom is configurable thereto a side facing chaise lounge seat having a back support segment, a center segment, a seat pan segment, and a lower leg support segment, and a sofa seat back configured to be opened, with deployable working surface, a storage feature, a power/data feature, and a lighting feature, and, thus, functions to enable seating configurations that utilize reduced floor space with smaller foot prints, and enable multi-person seating as in 1-2 or more and then conversion into a single person lounge or work seating by rotating 90 degrees.

A work surface for a vehicle includes a first leaf, a second leaf, and a dual-stage hinge pivotably coupling the first and second leafs. The dual-stage hinge includes a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis.

A convenience assembly includes a work surface coupled to a support structure by a mounting structure. A switch protrudes from the support structure toward an underside of the mounting structure. A switch-actuation assembly is positioned between the support structure and the work surface and is movable between raised and lowered positions relative to the switch to indicate a rotational position of the work surface relative to the support structure.
