Abstract

A table that can be pulled out is located on the underside of a pivotable armrest on a center console of a motor vehicle. The table consists of a base panel as well as a pivot panel. The pivot panel can be pivoted by a bearing mechanism which can be raised either toward the driver side (arrow 17) or toward the passenger side (arrow 18).
