Abstract: A vehicle console assembly with a hinge assembly includes a console body, an armrest lid, and a pivotable hinge assembly. The console body includes first and second spring arm engagement portions and a pair of slots. The armrest lid includes an armrest lid engagement portion. The pivotable hinge assembly includes a double torsion spring with a center linkage bar that extends outward between a pair of helical coil portions and between first and second hook locking features. The pivotable hinge assembly includes a hinge pin that extends through the pair of helical torsion coil portions of the double torsion spring to connect the pivotable hinge assembly to the console body.

Abstract: A latch assembly for a vehicle armrest may include a pair of pawls fixed on opposite sides of a coupler, each pawl including a projection on each end thereof, and a pair of paddles each engaging one of each pawls and configured to cause inward translation of at least one of the pawls in response to an actuation at one of the paddles, wherein an inward translation of one pawl causes, via the coupler, an inward translation of the other pawl to disengage the projections from a console.

Abstract: A console assembly includes a console assembly housing with a member disposed within a wall thereof that is rotatable between a plurality of positions. The member includes a passenger accessible feature that is not accessible when the member is in a first, closed position and is accessible when the member is placed in the second, open position. The member includes two member protrusions that engage with corresponding console protrusions such that the member is slidably guided through a plurality of positions. The protrusions may have differing centers of rotation making the member rotate and project simultaneously.
