Abstract: A storage assembly for a vehicle console that includes a bin, a mounting panel and a cover is contained within the console such that the bin is accessible through a sidewall of the console. The bin assembly is attached to an inside surface of the sidewall in a front section of the console. When the cover is in an open position the cover occupies a gap formed by the inner surface of the sidewall and the mounting panel.

Abstract: A multifunctional tray in a vehicle armrest adapted to temporarily receive food and beverage items is provided. The tray includes a tray body and a beverage container receiving aperture defined in the tray body. A recessed bin is defined in the tray body spaced apart from the beverage container receiving aperture. The condiment container receiving aperture is defined in the tray body adjacent the recessed bin. The condiment container receiving aperture has a generally segmentary shape defined by a generally circular aperture wall and an intersection between the condiment container receiving aperture and the recessed bin. The segmentary shape is appropriately sized to selectively receive rectangular and circular shape associated condiment containers while permitting access to the associated condiment container through the recessed bin for removal of the associated condiment containers.

Abstract: A center console assembly including a rear wall and a pair of sidewalls, the sidewalls being interconnected at a forward end thereof by a bar member assembly. The bar member assembly includes an upper bar member and a lower bar member. The upper bar member defines a first catch that a latch of an upper lid is releasably secured thereto. The lower bar member defines a second catch that a latch of a front panel assembly is secured thereto. The front panel assembly and sidewalls cooperate to releasably retain the front panel assembly in a partially open position or a full open position. The front panel assembly holds a mobile telephone and other small items, such stored items being accessible when the front panel assembly is in one of the open positions.
