ABSTRACT:
A motorized system is provided for adjusting the vertical height of a container within a base located between front seats of a motor vehicle. A flap which is used as an armrest is pivotally mounted on the housing to close a top opening of the housing. A linear drive linearly moves the container relative to the base along a vertical axis. A positioning drive including a reversible electrical motor has a rotary driveshaft for applying motion to the linear drive. A power transmission in the form of a flexible shaft is coupled to the driveshaft of the motor and a pair of worm gears is coupled to the linear drive. A manually operable switch is provided for selectively coupling the electrical power to the electrical motor to cause the driveshaft to rotate in a desired direction to position the linear drive which, in turn, linearly positions the container within the base.
