Vehicle centre console table system

A vehicle centre console table system for a vehicle, the vehicle centre console table system comprising:

• a table;
• an actuation system configured to, in dependence on an electrical signal, elevate the table from a first position to a second position above the first position, wherein in the first position the table is in a substantially horizontal orientation and defines a vehicle centre console surface, and wherein in the elevated second position the table is in the substantially horizontal orientation;
• a slider configured to enable horizontal sliding of the table from the second position to an aft position rearward of the second position;
• a pivot proximal to a fore end of the table, configured to enable turning of the table along a horizontal arc, in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, between a first operating angle to a first side (−y) of the aft position and a second operating angle to a second opposite side (+y) of the aft position;
• and
• a support coupling the table to a lower portion, wherein the actuation system is configured to elevate the combination of the lower portion and the table, wherein the lower portion comprises a stowage portion, wherein the stowage portion is concealed from a cabin of the vehicle when the table is in the first position, wherein a base of the support is located fore of the stowage portion, and wherein the support is angled in an aft direction towards the table.

A vehicle centre console table system for a vehicle, the vehicle centre console table system comprising:

• a table;
• an actuation system configured to, in dependence on an electrical signal, elevate the table from a first position to a second position above the first position, wherein in the first position the table is in a substantially horizontal orientation and defines a vehicle centre console surface, and wherein in the elevated second position the table is in the substantially horizontal orientation;
• a slider configured to enable horizontal sliding of the table from the second position to an aft position rearward of the second position;
• and
• a pivot proximal to a fore end of the table, configured to enable turning of the table along a horizontal arc, in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, between a first operating angle to a first side (−y) of the aft position and a second operating angle to a second opposite side (+y) of the aft position,
• the vehicle centre console table system comprising one or more of:
• a pivot sensor configured to indicate a state of the pivot;
• and
• a control system configured to control the actuation system in dependence on the electrical signal.

A vehicle centre console table system for a vehicle, the vehicle centre console table system comprising:

• a table;
• an actuation system configured to, in dependence on an electrical signal, elevate the table from a first position to a second position above the first position, wherein in the first position the table is in a substantially horizontal orientation and defines a vehicle centre console surface, and wherein in the elevated second position the table is in the substantially horizontal orientation;
• a slider configured to enable horizontal sliding of the table from the second position to an aft position rearward of the second position, wherein the slider comprises a detent at the aft position and/or a slider sensor configured to indicate a state of the slider;
• and
• a pivot proximal to a fore end of the table, configured to enable turning of the table along a horizontal arc, in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, between a first operating angle to a first side (−y) of the aft position and a second operating angle to a second opposite side (+y) of the aft position,
• wherein the table comprises deployable leaves configured to, when deployed, increase a surface area of the table and wherein a control system is configured to, during lowering of the table from the second position to the first position, detect an interference against moving the table to the first position, and to interrupt the lowering of the table in response to the detection, and/or wherein the control system is configured to control whether to enable the table to lower from the second position to the first position, in dependence on information from the slider sensor, so that retraction is not enabled if the table is away from the second position.
