Abstract

A compartment assembly includes a housing, a door movable relative to the housing between an open position and a closed position, an arm extending from the door having a first engagement surface and a second engagement surface, and an actuation system. The actuation system includes a prime mover and a pin connected to the housing and operably coupled to the door. The pin is movable by the prime mover. A biasing mechanism is coupled to the pin to bias the pin into engagement with the arm. When the door is in the closed position, engagement between the first engagement surface and the pin restricts movement of the door. Engagement between the second engagement surface and the pin opposes the biasing force of the biasing mechanism to allow movement of the door.
