Abstract

A component for a vehicle interior to position a mobile device in the vehicle interior is disclosed. The component may comprise a base and a mechanism coupled to the base with a shelf configured to move from a retracted position to an extended position. The shelf may support the mobile device in the extended position. The base may comprise a storage area and the mechanism may cover the storage area when the shelf is in the extended position. The mechanism may descend from the base to move the shelf from the extended position to the retracted position. The mechanism may comprise a lower arm coupled to an upper arm by a pin and a spring. The lower arm may slide and rotate to move the shelf between the retracted position and the extended position. The component may comprise a locking mechanism to lock the shelf in the extended position.
