Abstract

A console assembly includes: a storage module (16) having an interior compartment for holding items, an upper module (12) for storing items and a lower module (14) having a recess for holding items. The lower module (14) is connected to the storage module (16) in a track and translates across the opening into the interior compartment of the storage module (16) to selectively allow access to a portion thereof. The upper module (12) includes a storage area having a beverage holder and an ashtray. The upper module (12) is also connected to the storage module (16) in a track and translates independently and over the lower module (14) such that the upper module (12) can be located above the lower module (14) to provide an access to the interior compartment of the storage module (16) or the upper module (12) can be located away from the lower module (14) such that the upper module (12) and lower module (14) close the access to the interior compartment of the storage module (16). A latch module disposed in the upper module (12) holds the upper module (12) in position with respect to the storage module (16).
