ABSTRACT:
A fitting comprising a compartment in a vehicle center console. A lid has one (normally upper) surface and another (normally lower) surface which is configured as a cup holder. The lid is pivoted mid-way between its ends on a U-shaped member having arms which can support the lid in a raised position. Spring struts keep the lid in the raised position and, by virtue of a pivot pin offset from the lid pivot pin, provide an overcenter action when the lid is rotated through approximately 180 degrees, to bring the other surface uppermost. In a first modification the pivots of the U-shaped member and the struts are arranged to bias the lid in the downward direction when it is lowered with its one (normally upper) surface uppermost. In a second modification the spring struts pivot about the same pivot axis as the lid and there is no overcenter action.
