Thepin 22 is molded as part of thebin 14. Thepin 22, however, may be separately manufactured and attached to thebin 14. Thehandle 18 is snapped onto thepin 22 and rotates about theaxis 24 with respect to thebin 14. Thehandle 18 may, however, be attached to thepin 22 in any desired manner. - The
handle 18 includes astriking member 30, or striker, and a retaining member, such asbrake pad 32. Thestriker 30 is configured to engage thelatch 16 when the handle is in certain positions as will be explained below in detail. Thestriker 30 and thelatch 16 are oriented vertically. Thestriker 30 and thelatch 16, however, may be oriented horizontally or may be oriented in any desired fashion. Thebrake pad 32 is configured to engage the mountingtrack 12 when the handle is in certain positions as will be explained below in detail. -
FIGS. 2A , 2B, and 2C show a cross section of theconsole bin assembly 10 when thehandle 18 is in several positions. Thehandle 18 is moveable with respect to thebin 14 between afirst position 34, asecond position 36, and athird position 38. -
FIG. 2A shows thehandle 18 in thefirst position 34. Referring toFIGS. 1 and 2A , thebrake pad 32 is engaged with the mountingtrack 12 to thereby attach thebin 14 to the mountingtrack 12. Thebrake pad 32 is made of a non-skid material, such as a polyurethane, which resists movement of theconsole bin assembly 10 with respect to the mountingtrack 12 in a direction parallel to theaxis 24. Thebrake pad 32 may be attached to thehandle 18 in any desired fashion. For example, the brake pad may be co-molded with thehandle 18. When thehandle 18 is in thefirst position 34, thestriker 30 is engaged by thelatch 16 and locked by a lockingmember 40, or lock, within thelatch 16 as will be explained in greater detail with reference toFIGS. 3A , 3B, 3C, and 3D. - Operation of the
lock 40 andstriker 30 as thehandle 18 moves from thefirst position 34 to thesecond position 36 and from thesecond position 36 to thethird position 38 will be explained below in detail with reference toFIGS. 3A , 3B, 3C, and 3D. -
FIG. 2B shows thehandle 18 in thesecond position 36. When thehandle 18 is in thesecond position 36, thestriker 30 is engaged with thelatch 16 and unlocked from thelock 40 as will be explained in greater detail with reference toFIGS. 3A , 3B, 3C, and 3D. -
FIG. 3C shows thehandle 18 in thethird position 38. When thehandle 18 is in thethird position 38, thebrake pad 32 is disengaged from the mountingtrack 12. With thebrake pad 32 disengaged from the mountingtrack 12, thebin 14 can be repositioned along the mountingtrack 12. When thehandle 18 is in thethird position 38, thestriker 30 is disengaged from thelatch 16. Thestriker 30, however, may be configured to be engaged with thelatch 16 but not locked by thelock 40. - The
handle 18 travels in a first direction 48, or counter clockwise from the perspective shown inFIG. 2A , from thefirst position 34 to thesecond position 36. Thehandle 18 travels in asecond direction 50, or clockwise from the perspective shown inFIG. 2B , generally opposite the first direction 48 from thesecond position 36 to thethird position 38. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 , 2A, 2B, and 2C, thehandle 18 also includes a portion, such aspad 52, configured to receive a force applied by a user to move thehandle 18 from thefirst position 34 toward thesecond position 36. Thepad 52 is located near an end of thehandle 18 opposite thepivot 26. To unlock thestriker 30 from thelatch 16 when the handle is in thefirst position 34, the user pushes on thepad 52 of thehandle 18 until thehandle 18 reaches thesecond position 36. To lock thestriker 30 when thehandle 18 is in thethird position 38, the user pushes on thepad 52 of thehandle 18 until thehandle 18 reaches thefirst position 34. - The
spring 20 associated with thehandle 18 is configured to assist in moving thehandle 18 from thesecond position 36 to thethird position 38. Thespring 20 is attached to thepin 22. As thehandle 18 travels from thefirst position 34 toward thesecond position 36, thespring 20 is compressed and thus the mechanical energy stored by thespring 20 increases. Thestriker 30 is engaged with thelatch 16 and unlocked from thelock 40 when the mechanical energy stored by thespring 20 is generally at a maximum. This stored mechanical energy can then assist in moving thehandle 18 from thesecond position 36 toward thethird position 38 as thespring 20 relaxes. As such, the mechanical energy stored by thespring 20 is greater when thehandle 18 is in thefirst position 34 than when the handle is in thethird position 38. -
FIG. 3A shows a cross section of thelatch 16 when thehandle 18 is in the third position 38 (FIG. 2C ). Thelatch 16 includes alatch housing 17, thelock 40, alock striker 41, alatch spring 43, and ajaw portion 45. - The
lock 40 is moveable with respect to thelatch housing 17 and lockstriker 41. Thelock 40 includes an engaging element, such asheart feature 47, and a recessedarea 49. As thehandle 18 is moved from the third position 38 (FIG. 2C ) to the first position 34 (FIG. 2A ), thestriker 30 engages thejaw portion 45 which is connected to thelock 40 via a living hinge. The jaw portion closes around thestriker 30 as the striker is pushed into thelatch 16. Thelock 40 moves toward thelock striker 41, causing thelock striker 41 to travel along the path within the recessedarea 49 indicated by arrows, as thestriker 30 is pushed into thelatch 16.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of an article holding assembly, such asconsole assembly 54, according to the invention. Theconsole assembly 54 may be used with avehicle 56, and is attachable to a mountingmember 58 mounted in thevehicle 56. Theconsole assembly 54 includes ahousing 60, such as a console body, a first latchingmember 62, asecond latching member 64, ahandle 66, and aspring 68 associated with thehandle 66. -
FIGS. 5A , 5B, and 5C show a cross section of theconsole assembly 54 when thehandle 66 is in several positions. Thesecond latching member 64 is moveable with respect to thehousing 60 between a first position 70 (FIG. 5C ) and a second position 72 (FIG. 5A ). When the second latchingmember 64 is in thefirst position 70, the second latchingmember 64 is engaged with the mountingmember 58 thereby attaching thehousing 60 to the mountingmember 58. When the second latchingmember 64 is in thesecond position 72, the second latchingmember 64 is disengaged from the mountingmember 58. Movement of the second latchingmember 64 from thefirst position 70 to thesecond position 72 and visa versa with respect to thehandle 66 will be explained below in detail. - Referring to
FIGS. 4 , 5A, 5B, and 5C, thehandle 66 is pivotably attached to apivot member 74 having anaxis 76 atpivot 78. Thepivot member 74 spans a recessedarea 79 of thehousing 60 configured to accommodate thehandle 66. Thepivot 78 of thehandle 66 is snapped onto thepivot member 74 and rotates about theaxis 76 with respect to thehousing 60. - The
handle 66 includes a strikingmember 80 and a slottedmember 82. The strikingmember 80 is configured to engage the first latchingmember 62 when the handle is in certain positions as will be explained below in detail. The slottedmember 82 is engaged with a projection, such aspronged portion 84, of the second latchingmember 64. The slottedmember 82 is configured to assist in moving the second latchingmember 64 between thefirst position 70 and thesecond position 72 as will be explained below in detail. - The
handle 66 is moveable between a locked position 86 (FIG. 5A ) and an unlocked position 88 (FIG. 5C ). When thehandle 66 is in the lockedposition 86, the strikingmember 80 is engaged with the first latchingmember 62 and locked by a locking member 90 within the first latchingmember 62. When thehandle 66 is in theunlocked position 88, the strikingmember 80 is disengaged from the first latchingmember 62. - Operation of the locking member 90 and the striking
member 80 as thehandle 66 moves between the lockedposition 86 and theunlocked position 88 is explained above with reference toFIGS. 3A , 3B, 3C, and 3D. For the purpose of this explanation, locking member 90 corresponds to lock 40, strikingmember 80 corresponds tostriker 30, and handle 66 corresponds to handle 18. - When the
handle 66 is in the lockedposition 86, the second latchingmember 64 is in thesecond position 72. A user can reposition theconsole assembly 54 along the mountingmember 58 when the handle is in the lockedposition 86 because the second latchingmember 64 is disengaged from the mountingmember 58. When thehandle 66 is in theunlocked position 88, the second latchingmember 64 is in thefirst position 70. A user cannot reposition theconsole assembly 54 along the mountingmember 58 when the handle is in theunlocked position 88 because the second latchingmember 64 is engaged with the mountingmember 58. - A distance D1 between an end of the
handle 92 and aportion 94 of the second latchingmember 64 that is engageable with the mountingmember 58, when the second latchingmember 64 is in the second position 72 (FIG. 5A ), is less than a distance D2 between the end of thehandle 92 and the portion of the second latchingmember 94 when the second latchingmember 64 is in the first position 70 (FIG. 5C ). - The
second latching member 64 is generally pivotable about apin 96 having anaxis 98. Theaxis 98 is spaced away from theaxis 76. Theaxis 98 andaxis 76 are generally parallel. - When the user pushes the handle from the
unlocked position 88 toward the lockedposition 86, the slottedmember 82 pushes thepronged portion 84 of the second latchingmember 64 in a clockwise direction, from the perspective shown inFIGS. 5A , 5B, and 5C. This causes theportion 94 of the second latching member that is engageable with the mountingmember 58 to also pivot in a clockwise direction, again from the perspective shown inFIGS. 5A , 5B, an 5C, about theaxis 98. The pivoting of the second latchingmember 64 in a clockwise direction, again from the perspective shown inFIGS. 5A , 5B, an 5C, disengages the second latchingmember 64 from the mountingmember 58. Likewise, once the user has unlocked thehandle 66 from the lock 90 (FIG. 5B andFIG. 3C ) and moves thehandle 66 toward theunlocked position 88, the slottedmember 82 pushes thepronged portion 84 of the second latchingmember 64 in a counterclockwise direction, from the perspective shown inFIGS. 5A , 5B, an 5C. This causes theportion 94 of the second latchingmember 64 that is engageable with the mountingmember 58 to also pivot in a counterclockwise direction, again from the perspective shown inFIGS. 5A , 5B, an 5C, about theaxis 98. The pivoting of the second latchingmember 64 in a counterclockwise direction, again from the perspective shown inFIGS. 5A , 5B, an 5C, engages the second latchingmember 64 with the mountingmember 58. - The
spring 68 associated with thehandle 66 is configured to assist in moving thehandle 66 from the lockedposition 86 to theunlocked position 88. Thespring 68 is attached to thepivot member 74. As thehandle 66 travels from theunlocked position 88 toward the lockedposition 86, thespring 68 is compressed and thus the mechanical energy stored by thespring 68 increases. This stored mechanical energy can then assist in moving thehandle 66 from the lockedposition 86 to theunlocked position 88 as thespring 68 relaxes. As such, the mechanical energy stored by thespring 68 is greater when thehandle 66 is in the lockedposition 86 than when the handle is in theunlocked position 88. - While embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it is not intended that these embodiments illustrate and describe all possible forms of the invention. Rather, the words used in the specification are words of description rather than limitation, and it is understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
