An article storage device in a central console in a vehicle, comprising:

• a housing having a storage space defined by a bottom and a plurality of sidewalk including a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposing the first sidewall;
• and
• a first partition plate having a fixed side and a free side, wherein the first partition plate extends between the first and second sidewalk of the housing and are configured to be rotatably between an unfolded position and a folded position via a first pivot connected to a fixed side of the first partition plate,
• wherein the first partition plate is substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the housing to divide the storage space into a plurality of compartments at the folded position, and wherein the first partition plate is substantially parallel and adjacent to the bottom of the housing at the folded position.

An assembly to adjust a storage pattern in an article storage device, comprising:

• a first fixed plate and a second fixed plate parallel each other and configured to be connected to sidewalls of the article storage device and parallel to the sidewalls, wherein each of the fixed plates includes a first arc track on its surface and having a first end and a second end below the first end, and a first pivot hole under the second end;
• a first partition plate having a fixed side and a free side, and extending between the first and second fixed plates, wherein two end of a free side of the first partition plate include a projection toward the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate, respectively and configured to be slidable in the first arc track and wherein the fixed side includes a first pivot,
• wherein the first pivot of the first partition plate is configured to be received in the first pivot hole of the first and second fixed plates and the projections of the first partition plate are configured to be received in the first end of the first and second fixed plates such that the first partition plate is rotatable along the first arc track between a folded position and an unfolded position, and
• wherein the first partition plate is substantially perpendicular to a bottom of the article storage device to form a plurality of compartments at the unfolded position, and wherein the first partition plate is substantially parallel to the bottom of the article storage device at the folded position.
