    摘要: A component configured to dispense scent in a vehicle interior may comprise a scent-dispensing apparatus configured for at least one scent-dispensing cartridge (removable/replaceable) containing scent media. The apparatus may comprise an actuator operable in a bypass mode or for selection/actuation of a cartridge. A selected cartridge may be actuated from a sealed state to prevent airflow to an unsealed state to allow airflow across/through scent media and into the vehicle interior. The actuator may comprise a mechanism (e.g. slider, cam mechanism); each cartridge may comprise a valve mechanism actuated by the actuator; each mechanism may comprise a spring. The scent-dispensing apparatus may comprise a retainer to retain the scent-dispensing cartridge for use and to release the scent-dispensing cartridge for removal and a plunger to present the scent-dispensing cartridge to facilitate removal. The component may comprise a console, overhead console, floor console, center console, etc.

    摘要: A component for a vehicle interior configured to dispense scent in a vehicle interior is disclosed. The component may comprise a scent-dispensing apparatus comprising a module configured for at least one scent-dispensing cartridge (removable/replaceable) containing scent media. An actuator may be configured to operate the module in a bypass mode or for selection/actuation of a cartridge. A selected cartridge may be actuated from a sealed state to prevent airflow through scent media to an unsealed state to allow airflow across/through scent media and into the vehicle interior. The actuator may comprise a mechanism (e.g. slider, cam mechanism); each cartridge may comprise a valve mechanism actuated by the actuator; each mechanism may comprise a spring. The module may comprise a fan to provide airflow. The component may provide a user interface. The component may comprise a console, overhead console, floor console, center console, etc.

    摘要: A component for a vehicle is disclosed. The component may comprise a roller rotatable relative to a base; a sheet coupled to the roller and movable between retracted and extended states; a lock mechanism; and a button. The lock mechanism may disengage to allow sheet movement sheet and engage to block sheet movement. The lock mechanism may comprise a latch to hold the button in an actuated position. The button may move the lock mechanism to block sheet movement. The lock mechanism may comprise an arm to engage a set of teeth of the roller to hold the sheet extended. The component may comprise an actuator to move the lock mechanism to block movement of the sheet. The actuator may provide tension in the sheet. The actuator may rotate the roller to provide tension in the sheet. The component may comprise a tonneau cover, cargo cover or retractable table.

    摘要: A component for use in a vehicle that may be subjected to an event/external force is disclosed. The component may comprise a bin; a cover moveable between closed and open positions; a latch mechanism to hold and release the cover; a catch mechanism moveable to a blocking position to prevent the cover from opening. The cover may be retained by the catch mechanism in the closed position. The catch mechanism may comprise a pin moveable relative to the cover within a catch/track of the cover. The catch mechanism may move from the blocking position to a second blocking position to prevent the cover from opening. The catch mechanism may release the cover to facilitate opening of the cover in response to (a) a first actuating force applied to the cover; (b) release of the first actuating force; and (c) a second actuating force applied to the cover.

    摘要: A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a base and a door/cover configured to move from a latched position to cover a bin to an open position to uncover the bin through an unlatched position; and a blocking mechanism configured to actuate a keeper/blocker to move in response to a force from a retracted position to an extended position to prevent the door/cover from moving toward the open position. The mechanism may comprise a blocker/keeper to move from a default/retracted position to a blocking/deployed position to prevent the door/cover from moving to the open position (e.g. in response to the external force). The mechanism may comprise an arm configured to rotate in response to the external force against a retaining spring to engage the blocker/keeper. The component may comprise a console; the cover may comprise a door.

    摘要: A cartridge for a vehicle interior component configured to dispense scent from scent media may comprise a body comprising an inlet port and an outlet port and a chamber to contain scent media; and a valve assembly comprising an inlet valve, an outlet valve and a valve mechanism. The valve assembly may facilitate air flow across scent media in the chamber and may provide a seal to obstruct air flow in the chamber. The valve mechanism may comprise an inlet spring to actuate the inlet valve and an outlet spring to actuate the outlet valve. The inlet spring and the outlet spring may be configured to be compressed in alignment with a connector to facilitate air flow. The component may comprise a console, overhead console, floor console, center console, etc.
