Abstract
A storage assembly for an associated vehicle includes a pocket for storing associated articles. A lid is pivotally secured and selectively positionable between an open position that allows access to the pocket and a closed position that covers the pocket. The lid has an inner, first surface that coincides with a maximum fill line of the pocket when the lid is in the closed position, a recess formed in the first surface of the lid adjacent a first edge of the lid, and an object bumper extending adjacent at least a portion of the recess for preventing the associated articles from interfering with pivotal movement of the lid relative to the pocket.
Claims20
A storage assembly for an associated vehicle, the storage assembly comprising:
- a surface having a perimeter edge and a pocket in the surface for storing associated articles therein;
- and
- a lid pivotally secured to one of the surface or pocket, and selectively positionable between an open position that allows access to the pocket and a closed position that covers the pocket, the lid having an inner, first surface that coincides with a maximum fill line of the pocket when the lid is in the closed position, a generally arcuate recess formed in the first surface of the lid adjacent a first edge of the lid, and an object bumper extending adjacent the generally arcuate recess for preventing the associated articles from interfering with pivotal movement of the lid relative to the pocket.
A storage assembly for a vehicle comprising:
- a surface having an opening;
- a pocket extending from the surface adjacent the opening and dimensioned to store articles therein;
- a lid mounted for pivoting movement between an open, first position and a closed, second position, the lid having (i) an undersurface with a substantially planar portion that overlies a major portion of the pocket in the lid closed position, (ii) a recess along one edge that is contoured for receipt over a terminal edge of the pocket, and (iii) an object bumper extending adjacent to the recess for preventing associated articles stored in the pocket from interfering with opening and closing of the lid relative to the surface opening.
A storage assembly for small items in a vehicle comprising:
- a surface having an opening;
- a pocket extending from the surface adjacent the opening and dimensioned to store articles therein;
- a lid mounted for pivoting movement between open and closed positions, the lid having a recess along one edge that is contoured for receipt over a terminal edge of the pocket and an object bumper for preventing associated articles stored in the pocket from interfering with opening and closing of the lid relative to the surface opening, the object bumper and the recess following a pocket sidewall contour that allows the lid to be pivoted relative to the pocket into an adjacent cavity in the lid open position.
