A console assembly includes a base, a transmission shifter, a guideway and an armrest. The transmission shifter is carried on the base and is displaceable between a plurality of transmission mode defining positions and a storage position. The armrest is carried on the base by a guideway and is displaceable by sliding motion between a home position and a deployed position.

A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.

An armrest includes an armrest arm having an upper support surface forming a support for the forearm of an occupant of the vehicle seat, and a user interface having at least one display portion of flattened shape, having a front face comprising a screen and a rear face formed by a shell. The user interface is mounted on the armrest arm so as to be movable between a retracted position where the screen is inaccessible and an extended position where the screen is accessible. In the retracted position of the user interface, the shell is integrated with the upper support surface of the armrest arm, and in the extended position of the user interface, the screen is at least partially projecting above the upper support surface of the armrest arm.

A seat assembly is provided herein. The seat assembly includes a seat member having a support surface. A pair of seat member bolsters is disposed on opposing sides of the seat member. A seat base supports the seat member and has a wraparound sidewall that extends above a bottom portion of each seat member bolster.

User input systems and vehicles having a user input system having a deformable material are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user input system includes a base, a deformable material, wherein at least the base and the deformable material define an enclosure, a sensor layer disposed on or within the deformable material, at least one actuator coupled to the base and disposed within the enclosure, and an input device coupled to the at least one actuator. The at least one actuator is configured to raise the input device to deform the deformable material at a location of a hand on the deformable material based at least in part on a signal provided by the sensor layer.

A door armrest of a vehicle is provided in a door trim that forms a door for opening and closing a door opening formed in a vehicle body, and the door armrest may include an armrest portion on which an occupant's arm is supported and which may be provided on an internal side of the door trim and slides in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a motor driving portion mounted below the armrest portion, and configured to drive the armrest portion to selectively slide according to an opening or closing signal of the door.

An operator station includes a base frame; a chair is configured to swivel in first and second clock directions; and first and second chair arms. The first chair arm includes a first chair arm body disposed proximate and repositionable with respect to a first lateral side of the chair; and a first chair arm adjustment mechanism coupled to the base frame and the first chair arm body and configured to permit the first chair arm to rotate in a first lateral plane relative to the chair in the first clock direction when the chair rotates in the second clock direction relative to the base frame and to rotate in the first lateral plane relative to the chair frame in the second clock direction when the chair rotates in the first clock direction relative to the base frame.

A working machine includes an operator's seat, a seat base supporting the operator's seat, and a slide rail for adjustment of a position of the operator's seat, the slide rail being located between the seat base and the operator's seat, in which the seat base includes a rail mount for attachment of the slide rail, the rail mount having a downward convex curve which is curved to deviate from the slide rail with increasing distance from each of opposite ends of the rail mount in a longitudinal direction of the slide rail and with decreasing distance to a center of the rail mount in the longitudinal direction.

An armrest box structure and a vehicle, the armrest box structure includes an armrest and an armrest box, the armrest is arranged on the armrest box, the armrest can slide backward relative to the armrest box, an armrest storage box is mounted at the backend of the upper surface of the armrest, and an armrest cover is set on the armrest storage box. When the armrest cover is open, an article area is confined on the armrest by the armrest storage box and the armrest cover, which is used for containing articles therein. By arranging the article area at the backend of the upper surface of the armrest, which is confined by the armrest storage box and the armrest cover, when the armrest cover is open, the article area can contain large-sized articles such as handbag, plastic bags etc.

A work machine having a cab coupled to a frame, a steering system coupled to the frame, a controller configured to selectively articulate the steering system, a joystick assembly positioned in the cab and in communication with the controller, a steering wheel assembly positioned in the cab and configured to selectively articulate the steering system, and a steering wheel sensor coupled to the steering wheel assembly and in communication with the controller to identify movement of the steering wheel assembly. Wherein, the controller does not articulate the steering system responsive to movement of the joystick assembly when the steering wheel sensor identifies movement of the steering wheel.
