  • Glove compartment and cup holder device for automobile
    Patent number: 6796591
    Abstract: A glove compartment and cup holder device includes a box member, a sliding lid for closing an opening of the box member, and a supporting member attached to a sliding lid. The supporting member is freely slidable along the opening of the box member for supporting a container. When the sliding lid is opened, the supporting member slides in and overlaps with the sliding lid. Only when the glove compartment and cup holder device is used as the cup holder, the supporting member is pulled out from the sliding lid. Therefore, the supporting member does not block the opening of the box member when the glove compartment and cup holder device is used as the glove compartment.
