A vehicle accessory anchor system is provided. The system involves a shaft or similar elongate connector which is monolithically connected to a frame of the vehicle. On an opposite side of the shaft is a connector port which extends to or through an interior finish of the vehicle. The connector port allows connection of a variety of accessories such as device holders, and the like. As such, the vehicle accessory anchor system overcomes problems of prior art accessory connectors by securely tying in the accessory to the frame of the vehicle.

A magnetic attachment system including a magnetic attachment base and an item to be retained having engagement means, the base including a first and a second retaining means which are capable of moving back and forth between a locked position and an unlocked position, in the locked position the retaining means being capable of being received in the engagement means, where the first retaining means includes a first motion magnet (140), and the second retaining means includes a second motion magnet, the item to be retained includes two contact magnets, the contact magnets exert a force on the motion magnets, which holds the first retaining means and the second retaining means in the engagement means in the locked position.

A drinking receptacle holder comprising a holding portion, the holding portion providing an aperture with a variable size, and a base portion, wherein the drinking receptacle holder is configured so that a drinking receptacle can be received within the aperture of the holding portion with the drinking receptacle resting upon the base portion, wherein the base portion is configured to be pushed away from the holding portion by the drinking receptacle as the drinking receptacle is moved through the aperture of the holding portion, and wherein the holding portion is connected to the base portion such that the size of the aperture is configured to reduce as the base portion is pushed away from the holding portion.

A stowage compartment assembly for a vehicle comprising support and wall elements arranged on a front side of the support element, the wall element adjusts between a non-use position and a functional position. In the non-use position the wall element extends along a contour of the front side of the support element and in the functional position, projects with at least one section from the front side of the support element and is elastically deformed, to form a stowage compartment; and a drive device for adjustment of the wall element. The stowage compartment assembly includes at least one pivotably mounted floor element adjustable between a storage position and a functional position and, when the wall element is in use, is pivoted from its storage position into its functional position and defines a floor of the stowage compartment.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a base comprising an outer surface and a support comprising an outer surface and configured to move between a raised position and a lowered position. The component may comprise a light source to provide a lighted border around the support and/or illuminate walls of the cavity. The outer surface of the support and the outer surface of the base may comprise a substantially continuous surface when the support is in the raised position. The support may descend into the base to provide a cavity. The support may rotate and translate as it descends. The support may comprise a switch to send a signal to move the support. The component may comprise a pump and a valve. The component may comprise at least one of a console, floor console, tunnel console, armrest, instrument panel, door or door panel.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a base structure comprising a functional region configured to present a first form and a second form comprising a receptacle. The base structure may comprise an illuminated section at the functional region. The functional region may comprise a movable illuminated platform. The platform may move between an elevated state for a default form and a lowered state for the second form. The platform may be configured to be presented at a first or generally horizontal orientation and a second or generally tilted orientation. The illuminated section may comprise a perimeter of the functional region. The component may comprise an actuator configured to operate a mechanism for the functional region. The functional region may comprise wireless charging capability. The component may comprise at least one of a console; floor console; tunnel console; armrest; instrument panel; door; door panel.

An armrest of a seat for a vehicle includes a first armrest that is movable between a storage position where the first armrest constitutes a part of a seating surface of a seat back and a use position where the first armrest abuts against and is supported on a seating surface of a seat cushion, a rear end portion of the first armrest in the use position being connected to a lower portion of the seat back to be rotatable forward and backward about a first rotation axis extending in a lateral direction of the seat, and a second armrest that is connected to the first armrest to be interlocked with the first armrest, is close to a rear side of the first armrest in the storage position, and is separated upward from the first armrest in the use position.

A vehicle seat assembly includes a seatback rotationally coupled to a base at a seat pivot. A securing pin is coupled with the seatback. An inertial latch is operable about a latch pivot to define an idle position defined by the inertial latch biased distal from the securing pin, and a deployed position defined by an opposing directional force biasing the inertial latch into selective engagement with the securing pin wherein the seatback is maintained in a predetermined rotational position. A guide latch is biased against the inertial latch and having an idle notch and a deployed notch. The idle notch selectively maintains the inertial latch in the idle position. The deployed notch secures the inertial latch in the deployed position in response to the opposing directional biasing force.

An armrest for a vehicle seat that is rotatable with respect to a seat back of the vehicle seat, and the armrest includes a bracket that is configured to support a rotation shaft of the armrest, the hollow plastic shell to which the bracket is joined and a trim cover that covers the hollow plastic shell.
