VEHICLE AND A HINGE ASSEMBLY FOR A STORAGE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle and a hinge assembly for a storage compartment of the vehicle are disclosed. The hinge assembly includes a first component and a second component coupled to the first component. The second component is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the first component. A damper device includes a housing assembly supported by the first component and a finger attached to the second component such that the finger is movable with the second component between the first and second positions. The finger and the housing assembly are spaced from each other when the second component is in the first position, and the finger slidingly engages the housing assembly as the second component moves to the second position such that frictional engagement between the finger and the housing assembly dampens movement of the second component relative to the first component.
