  • Patent number: 8714613
    Abstract: A console assembly includes a console housing with first and second compartments. Each compartment includes one or more track members disposed on an interior portion of each compartment. A tray assembly includes engagement tabs which are adapted to couple to the track members of the first compartment in a first configuration, and further adapted to couple to the track members of the second compartment in a second configuration. Thus, the tray assembly is removable and can be positioned in either the first compartment or the second compartment. The tray assembly is adapted to move between fore and aft positions along the track members, and the tray assembly is also operable between forward and rearward tilt positions in either compartment in assembly.
