A glass article is provided with a cover glass sheet having first and second major surfaces. The second major surface has a first region with a first curve of a first radius of curvature, and a second region that is different than the first region. A frame's support surface has a third region of a first frame material and a fourth region of a different, second frame material. The second major surface faces the support, and the third region includes a second curve that complements the first curve while the fourth region complements the second region. A first adhesive is between the third region and the first region. A second adhesive is disposed between the fourth region and the second region. The first adhesive has a first Youngs modulus, and the second adhesive comprising a second Youngs modulus that is different than the first Youngs modulus.

A decorative component for an interior space of a motor vehicle includes an at least translucent first layer. The first layer has at least one first light-refraction edge. The decorative component further includes an at least translucent further layer which is placed areally on a preceding layer, wherein the further layer has at least one further light-refraction edge. At least some of the light-refraction edges of successive layers are positioned laterally offset with respect to one another for the purpose of creating a visual three-dimensional depth effect.

A vehicle interior panel includes an in-vehicle support substrate and a docking station for a mobile device. The docking station includes a top edge, a bottom wall, and a reception surface for the mobile device between the top edge and the bottom wall. The reception surface is pivotably attached with respect to the support substrate. A first portion of the bottom wall is configured to hold the mobile device, and a second portion of the bottom wall is configured to remain recessed within the support substrate when the docking station is in a tilted position. This structure for a docking station helps improve within vehicle integration.

A trim element having a body and a covering element extending over part of the body. The covering element includes at least two substantially rigid panels connected to one another by a flexible branch forming a bending line of the panels relative to one another and fastened to the body by a fastening edge forming a hinge between the panels and the body, the covering element being deformable around the bending line. The covering element hinges between a retracted position, in which the panels of the covering element are pressed against the body, and a deployed position, in which the panels are moved away from the body, the covering element defining a storage volume with the body in the deployed position.

An antimicrobial interior component for a vehicle includes an interior component body having a contoured surface. The interior component also includes an antimicrobial jacket assembly having a first piece and a second piece coupled together and disposed over the contoured surface. The antimicrobial jacket assembly defines at least one touch surface disposed over the contoured surface of the interior component body. The first piece and the second piece each includes an antimicrobial metal material configured to prevent or minimize microbes from accumulating on the at least one touch surface.

A console assembly for a vehicle includes a floor console substrate that has first and second side walls, a console cover that includes a base piece comprised of a top wall and first and second side walls that are unitary with, and extend downwardly from, the top wall. A wrapping material envelops the base piece. The wrapping material has at least one seam. The floor console substrate and the console cover have pairs of slots and pairs of pegs that are slidingly receivable into the respective pairs of slots such that the console cover is secured with the floor console.

A member attachment structure, in which a second member is overlapped with the first member while a large diameter hole communicates with a part of small diameter holes, is provided. At a position of the first member where the second member is not overlapped, a male screw portion inserted into the small diameter hole and extending from the small diameter hole to the base portion side is screwed into a first boss. At a position of the first member where the second member is overlapped, a tip end portion of a second boss is inserted into the large diameter hole and brought into contact with the first member, the second member is held while being overlapped with the first member, and the male screw portion inserted into the small diameter hole and extending from the small diameter hole to the base portion side is screwed into the second boss.

The invention relates to a center console (1) for a vehicle comprising a console body (3) and an upper part (11) provided on the console body (3) on which functional elements and at least one trim element (2) are mounted. According to the invention, the at least one trim element (2) is made of glass sheet.

A vehicle has a driver's position, a passenger position and a center console which is arranged between the driver's position and the passenger position. The center console includes an antenna which is designed to establish a wireless, radio-based near-field communication link.

A member attachment structure, in which a second member is overlapped with the first member while a large diameter hole communicates with a part of small diameter holes, is provided. At a position of the first member where the second member is not overlapped, a male screw portion inserted into the small diameter hole and extending from the small diameter hole to the base portion side is screwed into a first boss. At a position of the first member where the second member is overlapped, a tip end portion of a second boss is inserted into the large diameter hole and brought into contact with the first member, the second member is held while being overlapped with the first member, and the male screw portion inserted into the small diameter hole and extending from the small diameter hole to the base portion side is screwed into the second boss.
