A center console armrest is provided for preventing an armrest from being interfered with an external wall of a center console when the armrest is opened by forming a proximal end portion of the armrest that can be further rotated and inserted into the internal to the console when the armrest is opened, may include an armrest configured to be opened on an upper portion of the center console; a lead portion rotatable about a main hinge disposed inside the center console to cause the armrest to be opened; an armrest hinge configured to connect the lead portion and the armrest; a lower end portion protrusion disposed inside a proximal end portion of the armrest to be inserted into the center console; and a guide rail for guiding movement of the lower end portion protrusion.

A storage device includes a support shaft for supporting the lid to the container such that the lid can open and close relative to the container, a torsion spring for biasing the lid in a direction to open the lid, and a cylindrical cover that surrounds an outer peripheral surface of a coil of the torsion spring. The torsion spring includes a first arm and a second arm. The second arm can be engaged with the container when the container, the lid and the support shaft are in the assembled state and the first arm is engaged with the lid. The cover has clearance (cutout) that allows the second arm to pass without interference.

An armrest for a rear center seat of a vehicle includes a foam pad for the rear armrest and a convenience device mounted in the foam pad. The foam pad has formed therein a concave portion configured to induce deformation due to impact and distribute load at a portion in contact with the convenience device so as to satisfy the static strength test on a center headrest for the rear center seat, and at the same time, improve comfort of a passenger seated on the rear center seat.

A double opening storage device includes: a box body; a lid member; an open/close mechanism for opening/closing the lid member around a first or second rotation shaft; and an actuation device provided at the lid member and receiving power from the box body side via a wiring member. The open/close mechanism has a hinge member having one end supported swingably around the first rotation shaft by the lid member and another end supported swingably around the second rotation shaft by the box body. In opening/closing the lid member around the first rotation shaft, the hinge member stays at the box body without following the lid member, and in opening/closing the lid member around the second rotation shaft, the hinge member swings from the box body, following the lid member. The wiring member has a hinge wiring portion extending and wired along the hinge member between the one and other ends.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a base providing a compartment with an opening, a door moveable between open and closed positions and an interface between the base and the door to facilitate movement of the door. The interface may comprise a set of projections on the door to engage a set of guides on the base. The set of projections may comprise a set of extrusions. The door may comprise a substrate and a cover layer; the substrate may be formed by extrusion. The component may comprise at least one of a vehicle trim component, a console, a center console, a floor console, a storage compartment, an arm rest. A method of making a component is also disclosed. The component may comprise a base and a door comprising a cover and a carrier. The carrier may be formed by extruding a polymer material.

A vehicle storage compartment includes a base bin defining a storage cavity and configured to couple to a vehicle floor, a door coupled to the base bin and configured to move between a closed position and an open position, the door having a latch mechanism configured to selectively engage the base bin to facilitate maintaining the door in the closed position, and a locking assembly coupled to the door and configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking assembly is configured to selectively engage the base bin in the locked position to facilitate preventing movement of the door from the closed position to the open position. The locking assembly is separate and independent of the latch mechanism such that the latch mechanism remains movable when the locking assembly is in the locked position.

An armrest includes a variable volume storage compartment defined within a first end wall, a second end wall and a telescoping sidewall. A related method of storing items within an armrest is also disclosed.

According to the present disclosure, a vehicle includes: a main body; a first inner side surface and a second inner side surface of the main body located in a widthwise direction of the main body; and a cooling box provided at the first inner side surface.

An opening and closing mechanism of a double opening storage device including a box main body and a lid body includes a rod and an engagement hole corresponding to a first rotating shaft, a rod and an engagement hole corresponding to a second rotating shaft, first and second biasing members that engage the rods with the engagement holes, first and second operation units that displace the rods in an engagement-releasing direction by an opening operation, and a malfunction prevention device that prevents the opening operation of the first operation unit and the second operation unit from being performed at the same time. The malfunction prevention device includes a base member, first and second stoppers that are respectively rotatable around a first shaft and a second shaft with respect to the base member, and a spring member which is interposed between the first and second stoppers.

A storing device having at least one first body defining at least a first storage volume accessible through a first opening, and at least one second body defining at least one second storage volume accessible through a second opening. The first body and the second body are movable relative to one another along a first direction between a close position and a separated position. The first opening is arranged so that the first storage volume is accessible along the first direction, with the first storage volume being closed along the first direction by the second body in the close position and being accessible along the first direction in the separated position.
