Abstract: A container holder includes a vehicle armrest having a generally horizontally extending recess opening at the front for receiving a slide member defining a support floor for containers. Pivotally mounted to the slide member are a pair of arms which define sidewalls for selectively supporting sides of a container positioned on the slide floor. The slide member is slidably supported within the recess of the vehicle support member for movement between a fully retracted and concealed stored position and selected extended positions permitted the arms, which are biased to move away from each other, to span different diameter containers.

Abstract: A beverage container holder for a vehicle includes a housing having a recess for receiving a container holder member for storage. The container holder member includes foldable members which unfold to define the holder member when the holder member is extended from the housing for use. In another embodiment, the beverage container holder includes a support having a well formed therein with a vertically movable platform located in the well. A control structure is provided which extends between the support and the platform for controlling the motion of the platform as a container is placed therein to provide a vertically adjustable support floor for the container placed in the well.

Abstract: An indirect interior vehicle light preferably located along the top edge of each of the forward vehicle doors which directs low level light downwardly and below the eye level of the vehicle occupants. The system includes an elongated generally L-shaped housing defining a light shield. The housing includes one wall which extends generally downwardly and defines a downwardly facing light transmissive window.

Abstract: An illuminated vanity mirror package includes guide and support members which allow the package to translate and rotate to a variety of use positions. In a preferred embodiment, the package is mounted within a recess of a vehicle visor and can be reversed between flush-mounted stored and use positions as well as intermediate use positions.

Abstract: A visor includes a body having a recess with an access opening along a lower edge of the visor. A generally rectangular vanity mirror panel assembly is pivotally coupled to the visor body to pivotally move from a stored position within the recess to a use position extending from the recess. The resultant structure provides a useful mirror lowered below the visor in a convenient location for use and having an aspect ratio conforming to that of a person's face.

Abstract: An armrest assembly includes a pair of mounting brackets each including sockets for pivotally receiving a pair of spaced L-shaped legs facing outwardly from each other to provide a compact structure to which a padded armrest can be attached for use.

Abstract: A panel includes a mirror surrounded on three sides by a generally U-shaped light source for providing illumination of the mirror for use as a vanity mirror under low ambient light conditions. The panel, in one embodiment of the invention is an integral portion of a body of a visor or a panel which is slidably extended from a visor. The U-shaped light and mirror panel can be pivoted when in an extended position such that the light and mirror can be utilized while the visor is in a raised, stored position or in a lowered use position. The panel is, in one embodiment, coupled to an X-shaped bracket with the legs forming the bracket pivotally coupled to one another. One end of each leg is pivotally coupled to one of an anchoring member or the visor panel and the opposite end pivotally and slidably mounted to one of the anchoring member or the visor panel.
