Abstract
A console assembly for a vehicle includes a console body defining an opening communicating with a storage bin. The storage bin has opposing side walls each having a groove formed therein. A sliding member is slidably mounted within the grooves of each of the side walls within the storage bin. A console cover is pivotally mounted to the sliding member and defines a cover assembly. The cover assembly is slidably movable between a closed position wherein the console cover covers the opening of the console body and a partially open position wherein a portion of the opening of the console body is exposed. The console cover is pivotally movable between the partially open position and a fully open position wherein the console opening and the sliding member are exposed. The console cover includes at least one follower extending outwardly therefrom, wherein the follower is slidably mounted within the grooves in the storage bin wall.
