Abstract: A vehicle interior component includes a storage compartment having an opening configured to facilitate access to an interior of the storage compartment. The vehicle interior component also includes a cover panel having multiple segments coupled to one another by corresponding hinges. The cover panel is configured to transition between a closed position that substantially blocks the opening in the storage compartment and an open position that facilitates access to the interior of the storage compartment via rotation of at least one segment about at least one hinge.

Abstract: A vehicle interior assembly includes an interior trim component at least partially enclosing a storage volume and having a recessed compartment. The interior trim component is configured to transition between a first position, a second position, and a third position relative to a support structure. The vehicle interior assembly also includes a first light transmissive element coupled to the interior trim component and configured to illuminate an exterior surface of the interior trim component. In addition, the vehicle interior assembly includes a second light transmissive element coupled to the interior trim component and configured to illuminate a first interior of the recessed compartment. The vehicle interior assembly further includes a light source coupled to the support structure.

Abstract: A vehicle interior comprises a zero-gap joint formed by a first component that holds a sheet-like flexible material that is supported by supports, and a protrusion of a second component that contacts and deforms the material. The material may comprise a fabric or coated material that is coordinated with the design of the interior. The joint may be formed between components that move relative to one another during normal operation of the vehicle, such as between an instrument panel and a vehicle door panel.

Abstract: A seating/storage system includes a seat which is rotatably supported on opposite ends between the sidewalls of a vehicle on a pivot axle in spaced relationship above the floor level of the vehicle. The seat pivot axle, in turn, is mounted to a rotating member offset from the pivot axle such that, when rotated to a seating position, the seat is positioned above the floor level and, when rotated to a storage position, the seat is positioned in a recess with the lower side of the seat defining the floor of the vehicle. A releasable latching member extends between the rotatable member and the vehicle seat to selectively lock the seat in use or stored positions. In a preferred embodiment, a releasable latch also extends between a fixed seat frame and the rotatable member to selectively lock the seat back and seat in use or stored positions.
