Abstract

The present disclosure provides a moving multi console for a vehicle, which is designed to be used in various applications in the confined interior space in a vehicle, and which includes a second console slidably and rotatably mounted on a floor panel, a first console slidably and rotatably coupled to the second console, and first and second guide shafts, which are fixed at lower ends thereof to the floor panel and are inserted at upper ends thereof into the second console and the first console so as to guide and support sliding movement and rotating movement of the second console and the first console.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A moving multi console for a vehicle comprising:
a second console slidably and rotatably mounted on a floor panel;
a first console slidably and rotatably coupled to the second console; and
first and second guide shafts, which are fixed at lower ends thereof to the floor panel and are inserted at upper ends thereof into the second console and the first console so as to guide and support sliding movement and rotating movement of the second console and the first console.

2. The moving multi console of claim 1 , wherein the second console includes:
a rear body having a storage space therein;
an upper plate, which extends from an upper portion of the rear body in a longitudinal direction of the rear body; and
a lower plate, which extends from a lower portion of the rear body in the longitudinal direction of the rear body and which is slidably and rotatably engaged with the first and second guide shafts.

3. The moving multi console of claim 2 , wherein a first opening and a second opening, each of which is open at a front face and both lateral side faces thereof, are respectively defined between the rear body and the upper plate and between the rear body and the lower plate so as to allow the first console to be slidably and rotatably fitted thereinto.

4. The moving multi console of claim 2 , wherein the lower plate of the second console includes two or more rows of slide holes, into which the first and second guide shafts are inserted, and rotation guide arcuate holes, which communicate with the slide holes and extend inwards.

5. The moving multi console of claim 2 , wherein the upper plate of the second console is constituted by a flat plate body so as to be used as a table for a rear seat when the second console is moved rearwards toward the rear seat.

6. The moving multi console of claim 2 , wherein a caster having a free rotational axis is mounted on a predetermined point on a lower surface of the lower plate of the second console.

7. The moving multi console of claim 1 , wherein the first console includes:
a front body, which extends vertically;
an upper body, which extends rearwards from an upper end of the front body and which has a storage space therein; and
a lower body, which extends rearwards from a lower end of the front body.

8. The moving multi console of claim 7 , wherein the upper body and the lower body of the first console are respectively drawn out of the first opening and the second opening in the second console upon forward movement of the first console, and are respectively fitted into the first opening and the second opening in the second console upon rearward movement of the first console.

9. The moving multi console of claim 7 , wherein the lower body of the first console includes two or more rows of slide grooves, into which the first and second guide shafts are inserted, and rotation guide arcuate grooves, which communicate with the slide grooves and extend inwards.

10. The moving multi console of claim 7 , wherein, when the first console is moved forwards, the front body of the first console is disposed so as to be used as a protector serving as a partition between a driver's seat and a front passenger's seat and to be used as a knee rest on which a driver and a front passenger lean.

11. The moving multi console of claim 7 , wherein a caster having a free rotational axis is mounted on a predetermined point on a lower surface of the lower body of the first console.

12. The moving multi console of claim 1 , wherein the first guide shaft and the second guide shaft are spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction of a vehicle body such that the first console is rotated about the first guide shaft or the second guide shaft or such that the second console is rotated about the first guide shaft or the second guide shaft.

13. The moving multi console of claim 12 , wherein a radius of rotation of the first console or the second console when the first console or the second console is rotated about the first guide shaft is different from a radius of rotation of the first console or the second console when the first console or the second console is rotated about the second guide shaft.
