  • Patent number: 7090186
    Abstract: An automotive video display console assembly 18 for installation in a vehicle 10 is provided. The automotive video display console assembly 18 includes a console housing 20. The automotive video display console assembly 18 further includes a horizontal support element 34 including a first end 36 engaging the console housing 20 and a second end 38. The second end 38 is movable between a support stowage position 42 and a horizontally extended position 44 horizontally distanced from the support stowage position 42. A video display element 26 is pivotably mounted to the second end 38 such that the video display 26 can be moved between a display stowage position 28 and a display active position 30 when the second end 38 is in the support stowage position 42. The video display 26 can be further moved to a display extended position 32 when the second end 38 is positioned in the horizontally extended position 44.

  • Patent number: 6923490
    Abstract: An improved sliding sun visor assembly for a vehicle includes a visor body. The visor body has an inner surface which defines a first frictional engagement surface. A visor arm is provided and has a first end attachable to a portion of the vehicle, and a second end. A detent clip is disposed about the second end of the visor arm. A detent member receives the detent clip and has an outer surface which defines a second frictional engagement surface. The second frictional engagement surface is selectively engaged with the first frictional engagement surface.
