An arm cap friction hinge mechanism may include a center link; a first top link, a top friction hinge link, a second top link, and a top pin link coupled to the center link; an upper hinge mount coupled to an arm cap, to the first top link, and to the top friction hinge link via a first friction hinge; an upper pin mount coupled to the arm cap of the aircraft seat, to the second top link, and to the top pin link. The center link may be coupled to at least one hinge mount via at least a second friction hinge. The arm cap may be configured to actuate between a closed position and a first open position around the first friction hinge, and between the first open position and a second open position about an axis through the at least a second friction hinge.

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.

A vehicle seat console has at least one vehicle-side guide element and at least one seat-side guide element which is arranged parallel to the vehicle-side guide element. The vehicle seat console also has at least one longitudinal adjustment device which is acted upon by a drive device and is designed to produce a relative adjustment between the vehicle-side guide element and the seat-side guide element. A force-limiting device with a force-limiting element is provided between the longitudinal adjustment device and the vehicle-side guide element and/or between the longitudinal adjustment device and the seat-side guide element. The force-limiting element has a first deformation section which deforms under the effect of a force acting thereon above a specified force threshold. The force-limiting element has a second deformation section which is guided by a deflecting assembly.

Center consoles for passenger vehicles are provided and include a main body, an inner storage area comprising at least one removable inner storage container, and an armrest lid over the inner storage area and able to be opened or closed. The center console can include multiple storage areas and electronic components.

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.
