Abstract: An occupant protection device of a vehicle includes a table that is assigned to a vehicle seat. The table is actively movable into an occupant protection position when a collision or a danger of a collision of the vehicle is recognized. In the occupant protection position, an upper body of an occupant of the vehicle seat is supported by the table against a displacement caused by a collision.

Abstract: A method for operating an occupant protection device of a vehicle involves triggering an occupant protection mechanism, in the event of an imminent detected collision for the vehicle or of a detected collision of the vehicle. The triggering also depends upon detected image data of at least one interior camera of the vehicle and the triggering can be suppressed based on the detected image data of the interior camera.

Abstract: A container for installation beside seats in vehicles, especially for installation as a center console between the front seats of a motor vehicle, has a housing that is box-shaped and open at the top. A lid is pivotable around a pivot axis integral with the housing and simultaneously designed as an arm rest which covers the housing opening. A latching device is operable between the housing and the lid for locking the lid in pivot positions on the housing that modify the height of the arm rest. To provide an economical and stable adjustability of the arm rest, which requires only a small amount of space for installation, a latching device consisting of a latching strip and latching member is provided on an underside of the housing that is opposite the pivot axis of the lid. The latching member has a latching pin guided displaceably lengthwise on the lid and the latching strip is mounted on a housing wall of the housing that extends transversely to the displacement direction of the latching pin.
