  • Patent number: 11021092
    Abstract: A positionable platform for an interior of a vehicle comprising: a planar top surface; a bottom housing with a channel; and a releasable locking mechanism disposed between the planar top surface and the bottom housing. The releasable locking mechanism includes: a first bracket; a second bracket layered beside the first bracket; a button accessible for manipulation connected to the first bracket; a locked state where the second bracket extends into the channel; and an unlocked state where the movement of the button in a first direction causes movement of the first bracket in the first direction, which causes movement of the second bracket in a second direction different than the first direction that withdraws the second bracket from the channel or reduces the extension of the second bracket into the channel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10906446
    Abstract: A convenience assembly includes a work surface coupled to a support structure by a mounting structure. A switch protrudes from the support structure toward an underside of the mounting structure. A switch-actuation assembly is positioned between the support structure and the work surface and is movable between raised and lowered positions relative to the switch to indicate a rotational position of the work surface relative to the support structure.

  • Publication number: 20200408005
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a latch mechanism configured to retain a movable interior component when the latch mechanism is latched. A movable latch release is operably connected to the latch mechanism. A bidirectional inertia lock includes an actuator member that unlatches the latch mechanism, and an inertia lock member that moves from an unlocked position to a locked position in response to vehicle acceleration in a fore-aft direction and a side-to-side direction. The inertia lock member prevents movement of the actuator member to the actuated position when the inertia lock member is in the locked position.
