A trim element for a vehicle element, where the trim element comprises a shell with an inner surface intended to be oriented towards the interior of the vehicle element and an outer surface intended to form a rear surface of the vehicle element, and a pocket fixed to the outer surface of the shell, where the pocket comprises a panel which has a lower and lateral edges and at least one stiffening element arranged in the lower and lateral edges. The shell further comprises at least one groove in which are housed at least one from the lateral edges and/or the lower edge of the panel for assembly of the panel with the shell.

A storage system for a vehicle door may include: a vehicle door; a map pocket assembly movable with respect to the vehicle door; and a guide mechanism guiding a movement of the map pocket assembly, wherein a storage compartment is defined between the map pocket assembly and the vehicle door.

The present invention provides an object holding device used in a vehicle seat. The object holding device comprises an object holder coupled to an extendable device via a deployment rod and is extended and retracted in and out a map pocket of the vehicle seat. An extendable rod of the extendable device is pivotably connected with the deployment rod and lockable with the deployment rod. At a first position where the deployment rod forms a first angle with the extendable rod, the object holder is changeable at a slanted position and a leveled position to hold an object.

A vehicle interior trim assembly includes a first trim component and a second trim component. The first trim component includes a first base plate and a protrusion. The second trim component includes a connection clip and a connection suspension. An opening in the connection clip receives the protrusion, and the connection clip engages an underside surface of the protrusion to yield a snap fit between the connection clip and the protrusion. The snap fit secures the second trim component to the first trim component. The connection suspension is configured to yield an interference fit between the connection suspension and one of the first base plate and the protrusion when the second trim component is assembled to the first trim component. The interference fit yields a biasing force that biases the connection clip toward the underside surface of the protrusion to limit movement between the first and second trim components.

A vehicle door includes an inner panel and a trim panel portion connected to the inner panel. The trim panel portion includes an inner surface facing the inner panel. At least one holding device for an object is disposed on the inner surface and the trim panel portion is pivotable between a closed position adjacent the inner panel and an open position, in which the holding device is accessible, wherein a storage space for the object to be held by the holding device is provided in both positions.

A map pocket usable as a trim component for a vehicle door assembly includes an inward-facing, substrate material layer including a polyethylene/polypropylene fibrous, thermoformed material and an outward-facing, A-side material layer including a non-woven, thermoformed material, disposed abuttingly against the substrate material layer.

A map pocket for a motor vehicle cover element formed of a stack formed at least of a cover material made of textile, of leather, of skin, or of a synthetic material, and of a foam layer at the rear surface of the covering material, including: a piece defining the apparent surface of the pocket; elongated rigid elements at least partially surrounding said piece and sandwiching the cover element and said piece.
