A transparent cover selectably covers the tray but provides visual access to its contents. A removable door encloses the opening. At least one storage compartment is mounted on another side of the housing and is pivotable between open and closed positions. A single latch mechanism simultaneously locks the cover in position covering the tray, the door in position enclosing the opening in the housing, and the compartment in its closed position.
