Vehicle center console assembly

摘要

A vehicle center console includes a tray hinge that supports a tray for pivoting movement about a tray axis, the tray hinge being a friction hinge restricting movement of the tray. The tray is moveable between a lowered orientation where the tray is completely located within a storage compartment and at least partially covering a lower portion of the storage compartment, and a raised orientation at least partially extending out of the storage compartment and exposing the lower portion of the storage compartment. A lid hinge structure is attached to the main body and to a lid such that the lid moves about a lid axis relative to the center console. The lid is movable from a closed orientation covering the storage compartment and the tray, and an open orientation exposing the tray and the upper portion of the storage compartment.

1. A vehicle center console assembly comprising:
a main body structure defining a storage compartment having an upper portion and a lower portion; a tray hinge structure having a first part fixedly attached to the main body structure and a second part supported to the first part for pivoting movement about a tray axis, the tray axis being in a fixed location relative to the main body and the tray hinge structure being a friction hinge that restricts movement of the first part relative to the second part; a tray having a first end fixedly attached to the second part of the tray hinge structure for movement between a lowered orientation where the tray is completely located within the storage compartment and at least partially covers the lower portion of the storage compartment, and a raised orientation at least partially extending out of the storage compartment and exposing the lower portion of the storage compartment; a lid hinge structure having a first part fixedly attached to the main body and a second part supported to the first part of the lid hinge structure for pivoting movement about a lid axis; and a lid attached to the second part of the lid hinge such that the lid is movable from a closed orientation completely covering both the storage compartment and the tray, and an open orientation exposing the tray and at least the upper portion of the storage compartment.
