Abstract:
A device holder and storage compartment for use in a motor vehicle. The device holder and storage compartment are in the form of a slidable drawer that is concealed within a dashboard when in a closed position and extended from the dashboard when in an open position. The drawer has a generally horizontal bottom surface, a front end wall, a back end wall oppositely disposed from the front end wall, a first side wall and a second side wall adjoining the front end wall and the back end wall. All the walls are generally vertical in orientation. The drawer also has a generally vertical dividing wall spaced apart from the front end wall. The dividing wall defines a front region between the dividing wall and the front end wall and a rear region between the dividing wall and the back end wall. A front cover can be moveably attached to the drawer proximate the front end wall and move between a closed position and an open position. When in the closed position, the front cover is generally vertical and adjacent to the front end wall. In the open position, the front cover is spaced apart from the front end wall and affords viewing of a front surface of a device held in the front device holder region of the drawer. The front end wall of the drawer can have a cut-away portion which allows viewing of a bottom portion of the front display of the device.
