Abstract
A control panel comprising a proximal wall, a pair of opposing sidewalls attached at a proximal edge thereof to and extending distally from the proximal wall, a distal wall attached to a distal edge of the pair of opposing sidewalls, and a panel wall attached to an upper portion of and carried by at least one of the proximal wall, one of the opposing sidewalls, and the distal wall. The panel wall comprises at least one aperture formed therein configured to receive a control device.
Claims19
A control panel comprising:
- a proximal wall;
- a pair of opposing sidewalls attached at a proximal edge thereof to and extending distally from the proximal wall;
- a distal wall attached to a distal edge of the pair of opposing sidewalls;
- and
- a panel wall attached to an upper portion of and carried by at least one of the proximal wall, one of the opposing sidewalls, and the distal wall, the panel wall being configured to extend outwardly beyond at least one of the proximal wall, the opposing sidewalls, and the distal wall, defining a lip that is configured to interface with a structure of a center console of a vehicle;
- wherein the panel wall comprises at least one aperture formed therein configured to receive a control device.

A control panel comprising:
- a proximal wall;
- a pair of opposing sidewalls attached at a proximal edge thereof to and extending distally from the proximal wall;
- a slanted distal wall attached to a distal edge of the pair of opposing sidewalls;
- a panel wall attached to an upper portion of and carried by at least one of the proximal wall, one of the opposing sidewalls, and the slanted distal wall, the panel wall comprising at least one aperture formed therein;
- and
- a control device comprising at least one of a toggle switch, a rotary dial, a light-emitting diode (LED), a rocker switch, a push button, and a round switch positioned at least partially within the aperture of and attached to the panel wall;
- wherein the panel wall is configured to extend outwardly beyond each of the proximal wall, the opposing sidewalls, and the slanted distal wall, defining a lip portion;
- and
- wherein the lip portion of the panel wall is configured to interface with a structure of a center console of a vehicle.
