CONSOLE BOX FOR MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

A console box (110) for motor vehicles designed to increase the safety to occupants during a collision. The console box includes a rigid, upper space box (115) and a more flexible lower stand (120). The space box (115) includes at least two side walls (130) and a plurality of inner support walls (160). The inner support walls (150) may be oriented horizontally, vertically (155), at an incline, or a combination thereof. The space box (115) portion is constructed from a more rigid plastic material, such as a fiber-reinforced plastic material, capable of absorbing impact energy from a collision event while helping prevent the seats (105) between which the console box is located from contacting one another. The stand portion (120) of the console box (110) is constructed from a more flexible plastic material capable of helping the space box portion (115) to be more properly oriented between the seats (105) during a collision event.
