A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a base comprising a surface and a support comprising a surface and configured to move between raised and lowered positions. The surfaces of the support and 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 component may comprise a light source to illuminate a border around the support and walls of the cavity. The component may comprise a mechanism to move the support. The support may comprise a switch to send a signal to the mechanism to move the support. The mechanism may comprise an adaptive volume mechanism. The component may comprise a wireless charger configured to send a signal to a controller to move the support. The component may comprise at least one of a console; armrest; instrument panel; door.

A vehicle safety system that is mounted within a vehicle and operably coupled thereto wherein the safety system inhibits operation of the vehicle during the presence of an accessible cellular phone. The present invention includes a controller that is operably coupled to at least two operation systems of the vehicle such as but not limited to the ignition system and the transmission system. A scanner is present within the passenger cabin and is configured to detect the presence of a cellular phone. A plurality of storage compartments are mounted within the vehicle and have at least one sensor disposed therein. The storage compartments are equipped with locking mechanisms wherein the locking mechanisms are further operably coupled to the controller. The controller must receive a first signal from the sensor and second signal from the locking mechanism to permit operation of the vehicle.

A package stabilizing device for use in transporting a package in a vehicle includes a bracket assembly that is configured to couple to an element of a vehicle so that an arm of the bracket assembly extends into an interior space of the vehicle. A sling is coupled to and extends from a distal limit of the arm. The sling is configured to position a package so that the package is suspended within the interior space. The sling is configured to swing within the interior space to diminish forces that are applied to contents of the package as the vehicle traverses an uneven surface, accelerates, brakes, and turns.

Apparatus to store a mobility device in a lift gate of a vehicle are described herein. An example apparatus includes a lift gate of a vehicle and a mobility device coupled to an interior of the lift gate.

A container holder is disclosed and includes an inner body defining an innermost surface, an outer body at least partially surrounding the inner body that is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and one or more retaining members. The retaining members each define a retaining surface and are configured to abut against and exert a clamping force upon the container. The retaining members are each connected to the inner body by a hinged connection and are configured to actuate about the hinged connection between a first position where the retaining surface is at a maximum distance when measured from the axis of rotation of the outer body and a second position where the retaining surface is measured at a minimum distance when measured from the axis of rotation of the outer body. The container holder also includes one or more camming members disposed around the outer body.

A storage structure for a vehicle interior includes a hollowed storage unit having an opening in the top of the storage unit. The storage unit includes a storage sidewall section surrounding a storage space for an object to be stored. The storage sidewall section includes a sidewall body portion and a sidewall member formed of a member separate from the sidewall body portion. The sidewall member is configured such that an engaging hook provided for the sidewall member is urged against an engaging recess provided for the sidewall body portion when a load is applied on the sidewall member from an outside to an inside of the storage unit.

An apparatus is provided for holding an article in a motor vehicle. That apparatus includes a motor vehicle storage compartment having a receiver and a reversible insert held in the receiver. A storage system is also disclosed including a left-hand storage compartment including a first receiver, a right-hand storage compartment including a second receiver and a reversible insert configured for receipt in the first receiver and the second receiver.

A pocket is structured to be removably securable to a vehicle door. In one arrangement, the pocket includes at least one positioning element receiving cavity structured to extend horizontally or substantially horizontally when the pocket is attached to a vehicle door.

Provided are a door trim attached on a vehicle cabin side of a vehicle door and including a storage recess curved outward in a vehicle-width direction, and a release switch disposed in the storage recess and pushed in a predetermined operating direction to output a latch release signal to an actuator that moves a latch member. The latch switch is completely stored in the storage recess, and the operating direction is tilted toward the rear of the vehicle relative to an axis extending outward in the vehicle-width direction.
