Abstract
The present invention relates to a device (01, 22) for use in the interior of a vehicle, comprising a first and a second carrier element (02, 23, 03, 24) and a connecting linear guide, wherein the first carrier element (02, 23) features two linearly extending first guiding surfaces (06, 07, 27, 28) and the second carrier element (03, 24) features two first abutment surfaces (12, 13, 33, 34), wherein the carrier elements (02, 23, 03, 24) are longitudinally displaceable relative to each other when the abutment surfaces (12, 13, 33, 34) slide along the guiding surfaces (06, 07, 27, 28), and wherein the linear guide produces a clamping effect which prevents self-actuated displacement of a carrier element (02, 23, 03, 24) due to vehicle movements, wherein the linear guide further features a second guiding surface (08, 29) being associated with the first carrier element (02, 23) and features a second abutment surface (14, 35) being associated with the second carrier element (03, 24), wherein, when the first and the second carrier elements (02, 23, 03, 24) are fitted together, elastic deformation of the first and/or the second carrier element (02, 23, 03, 24) is realized at least in some …
