Problems solved by technology

The problem with the known solutions is mostly that such a multifunction device is difficult for the driver to see or operate while the vehicle is driving, so that the driver is easily distracted in order to reach and operate the multifunction device, instead of focus enough on traffic
Furthermore, due to technological progress, the number of operating and display elements required increases, whereby the space available in the vehicle interior for e.g. storage and storage is further limited

Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 The multifunction device according to the invention, which is arranged inside a center console 10 of a motor vehicle, is shown and has a dashboard 12 for receiving display elements and / or operating elements 14 . The instrument panel 12 is designed to be movable and can be transferred from a closed position to an open position, wherein the instrument panel 12 is in a position such as figure 1 The closed position shown is disposed within the opening of the center bracket 10 . The surface of the instrument panel 12 facing the vehicle interior is preferably flush with the surface of the center console 10 .

[0020] figure 2 The instrument panel 12 is shown in the open position according to the first embodiment. In this case, the instrument panel 12 is pivotably mounted about an axis arranged substantially perpendicular to the road surface. like figure 2 As shown, the instrument panel 12 is designed to pivot toward the driver's seat 16 so that the instrument ...

Abstract

A multifunctional device is arranged in the internal of a central bracket (10) of a vehicle, comprising an instrument board (12) for accommodating an indicating element and / or an operation element (14). The instrument board (12) is movable and can be switched from a close position to an open position, wherein the instrument board (12) in a close position is arranged in an opening of the central bracket (10). The central bracket (10) is provided with a storage member (20) which is beyond the visual field at the close position of the instrument board (12) and can be contacted by a passenger at the open position of the instrument board (12). The multifunctional board is particularly convenient to be contacted by a driver and enlarges the space in the vehicle at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multifunctional device for being arranged in a center console of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] Multifunction devices in the interior of a vehicle usually have a dashboard that includes, for example, radio and navigation elements as well as operating elements for, for example, air conditioning, ventilation, warning flashers, and display elements for these operating elements. Such a multifunctional device is usually arranged inside the center console adjacent to the instrument panel between the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat of the motor vehicle. The problem with the known solutions is mostly that such a multifunction device is difficult for the driver to see or operate while the vehicle is driving, so that the driver is easily distracted in order to reach and operate the multifunction device, instead of Focus enough on traffic. Furthermore, due to technological progress, the number of operating...
