Abstract

An assembly for mounting a door with a vehicle compartment includes an arm coupled with the compartment and with the door, a track fixed with the compartment, and a carrier pivotably coupled with the door and slidable along the track. The assembly further includes a spring coupled between the door and the compartment such that a contraction of the spring alone causes the door to move with rotation of the arm and movement of the carrier along the track. A track cover engages the carrier to prevent disengagement of the carrier from the track.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to mechanisms for controlling and actuating movement of vehicle interior hatches. Background technique [0002] Automotive interiors often feature multiple compartments at various locations, for example, along the center console or dashboard. Such a compartment may have a door associated therewith to allow an occupant of the vehicle to alternately open and close the compartment. Space requirements within vehicle interiors have resulted in such doors being movably mounted in different "spindle" configurations relative to the associated compartment. Such a configuration allows the edges of the doors to be spaced flush relative to adjacent vehicle interior surfaces with minimal clearance therebetween, yet still allow reliable opening and closing of the respective doors. Furthermore, such a drive shaft arrangement may allow the door, when opened, to retract into a console adjacent to or in an associated compartment...
