Abstract: A center console assembly for a motor vehicle includes a pair of side walls generally parallel and spaced apart from each other; a storage compartment extending between the side walls; and a tray supported on the side walls. A tab extends outwardly from at least one of the side walls and extends into a recess formed in the tray to retain the tray in a retained position to prevent the tray from sliding along the side walls. The tab has a ramped leading surface that facilitates insertion of the tab into the recess as the tray is moved along the side walls toward the retained position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for electroplating a workpiece. The apparatus includes an anode basket containing particles of an electroplating material. A mask is positioned around the anode basket to selectively block current flow from the basket to the workpiece which is mounted to a cathode. The mask includes a frame supporting a number of non-conductive plates adjusted in position to provide a desired electrical field distribution. The resulting electrical field between the anode and the cathode produces uniform plating thickness over the entire surface of the workpiece.
