Abstract: The duct mating assembly includes a first duct having connected side members that define an interior air space. The side members include inner and outer surfaces. The first duct extends from a first end to a second end and the first end is offset relative to the second end. A second duct includes connected side members that define an interior air space. The side members include inner and outer surfaces. The second duct terminates at a connection opening. The first and second ducts are operative to couple with each other. The first duct is positioned within the connection opening of the second duct when coupled thereby defining an air gap between the first and second ducts. At least one of the side members of the first duct includes a projection portion formed thereon. The projection portion extends outward a distance to create a uniform sized air gap between the first and second ducts.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, a cup holder assembly includes a support frame, a cup holder and a dampener. The support frame has spaced apart walls. The cup holder is slidably engaged with the walls of the support frame for movement between a stowed position disposed between the walls of the support frame and a use position extending outwardly from the support frame. The dampener is coupled to the walls of the support frame. The dampener has an arcuate spring member formed integrally therewith to provide an interference fit with the cup holder for dampening the sliding movement of the cup holder relative to the sleeve between the stowed and use positions.
