Patent attributes
A vehicle storage compartment includes a frame, a drawer within the frame, a pivoting door, and a linkage system interconnecting the frame, the drawer and the door such that pivot of the door causes sliding of the drawer. The linkage system can include a link having a door post and a drawer post respectively engageable with the door and a guide track on the drawer. The linkage system can also include a projection on the drawer engaging a rail. The door post of the link can be disengaged from the door for movement of the door to a fully-lowered position defined by a stop. The drawer post can be disengaged from the drawer for separation of the drawer from the frame. The link can pivot on a hinge pin and can be translated on the pin for engagement and disengagement of the door and drawer posts.
