20230365032 · 2023-11-16 ·

A rotating device for a vehicle interior item is provided with latching means that is provided on a side of a base member having a rotation support part, and engagement means that is provided on a side of a rotating member supporting a vehicle interior item and being rotatably supported by the rotation support part, and can be switched between a state in which the engagement means engages with the latching means so as to suppress detachment of the rotating member from the base member and a state in which the engagement with the latching means is released when the rotating member attains the rotatable state, wherein the latching means and the engagement means are disposed further outside than the rotating member in plan view at least when the rotating member is in the non-rotating state. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress an increase in the height while suppressing detachment when the vehicle interior item is not rotating.

Track assembly

A track assembly includes a track and/or a support member. The track may include a first ramped portion and/or a second ramped portion. The support member may include a rolling member. A first side of the rolling member may include a first contact portion, and/or a second side of the rolling member may include a second contact portion. The support member may be configured to move along the track via rotation of the rolling member. The first contact portion and/or the second contact portion may be configured to contact the first ramped portion and/or the second ramped portion. The rolling member may include a flange that may be configured to engage an inner portion of the track. The inner portion may be substantially vertical. The track may include an opening that may be disposed between the inner portion and/or a second inner portion of the track.

Track assembly

A track assembly includes a track and a support member. The support member may include a slider and/or an electrical connector. The slider may be configured to move longitudinally to move the electrical connector between a first rotational position and/or a second rotational position. In the first position of the electrical connector, the electrical connector may be in electrical contact with the track. In the second position of the electrical connector, the electrical connector may not be in electrical contact with the track. The electrical connector may include a cam, and/or the cam may be configured to contact the slider. Longitudinal movement of the slider may rotate the cam to move the electrical connector between the first rotational position and/or the second rotational position. The slider may include a first ramped portion and/or a second ramped portion that may be configured to contact the slider.
