Motor vehicle dashboard stowage compartment has concave trim strip with inner liner forming cavity that extends volume of compartment

摘要

The stowage compartment (18) between upper (14) and lower (16) sections of the dashboard (12) has its cavity (20) closed by a flap (24) while its upper edge is covered by a trim strip (26) with a concave inner surface (46). The trim strip has a concave liner (34) that forms a cavity (36) in communication with that of the stowage compartment, increasingits available volume. The trim strip has a low degree of rigidity and the liner is deformable to avoid injury to a seated passenger's knees in the event of an impact.
