ABSTRACT:
According to the invention a vehicle instrument panel has an opening housing a glove box. A closure for the glove box is movably mounted on the instrument panel for movement between a closed position closing the opening and an open position moved rearwardly away from the instrument panel to provide access into the glove box. A tray is mounted on the instrument panel by a sliding or telescoping mechanism permitting tray movement between a retracted position concealed behind the closure and an extended position in which the tray is cantilevered rearwardly from the instrument panel to accept beverage containers or other articles at the discretion of the occupant. The closure and the tray are configured to engage with one another when the tray is in the fully open position so that the closure will support the cantilevered tray. The tray must be comprised of a plurality of telescopically connected tray portions.
