Abstract: A collapsible container includes a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls. At least two of the side walls include a rigid first segment and a rigid second segment coupled to the first segment by a pivot to permit the side wall to fold so that the first segment and second segment form an acute angle or are parallel when the container is collapsed. The collapsible container can be configured in a storage configuration for containing objects or a collapsed configuration occupying less volume than the storage configuration for stowing the container.

Abstract: An interior body trim arrangement is basically provided with an interior body trim panel and a back closure member. The interior body trim panel has an interior facing surface and an outboard facing surface opposite the interior facing surface. The back closure member is fixed to the outboard facing surface of the interior body trim panel. The inboard facing surface of the back closure member and the outboard facing surface of the interior body trim panel define an integrated HVAC duct having a first opening end and a second open end.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a vehicle interior cargo area having an interior wall, a track and a cargo accessory. The track is fixedly attached to the interior wall and the track includes a pair of parallel spaced apart wall portions defining a track slot therebetween. The cargo accessory includes a cargo supporting portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion is configured and arranged to attach to the wall portions of the track retaining the cargo accessory in position with a snap-fit engagement arrangement.

Abstract: A storage assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle structure, a removable storage container and a container attachment member. The removable storage container is moveable between a retained position and a release position. The container attachment member is coupled to the vehicle structure, and the container attachment member is moveable between a first position and a second position. The container attachment member is configured to engage the storage container and retain the storage container in the retained position when the container attachment member is in the first position. The container attachment member is configured to be disengaged from the storage container for movement of the storage container between the retained and released positions when the container attachment member is in the second position.

Abstract: An adjustable seat for use in a passenger compartment of a vehicle. A seat cushion is slidably mounted for movement between an aft position and a fore position, and a seat back is connected to the seat cushion. A latch connected to the seat back, and a mounting member is connected to the vehicle that releasably engages the latch to limit fore-aft movement of the seat back with respect to the mounting member so that movement of the seat cushion from the aft position to the fore position moves the seat back from an upright position to a reclined position.

Abstract: An embodiment includes a control apparatus for at least partially controlling a component of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a knob having a body portion, a connection portion, and a conductive portion. The apparatus also includes a device having a proximity sensor and an illuminating portion. The conductive portion is selectively positioned adjacent the illuminating portion. The apparatus further includes a system controller in communication with the proximity sensor and the illumination portion. The system controller selectively detects movement of the conductive portion relative to the proximity sensor.
