Abstract: A trim assembly has a trim portion that includes a first trim panel and a second trim panel that are separated by a gap. A shell is configured to couple with the trim portion, and an outer surface of the shell is continuous from an outer edge of the first trim panel to an outer edge of the second trim panel and extends across the gap.

Abstract: A storage system for an electronic device includes a base coupled to a structural portion and a support portion (106) coupled to the base. A platform (210) is coupled to the support portion, is configured to hold the electronic device, and is movable relative to the support portion between a stored configuration and a deployed configuration. The platform can be selectively adjusted to maintain a non-zero angular orientation relative to the support portion when in the deployed configuration, and the platform forms an outer surface of the support portion when in the stored configuration.

Abstract: A support assembly includes a bracket coupled to a structural portion. The bracket is configured to prevent relative motion between the end portion and the bracket when a first load is applied in a first direction, and the bracket is configured to allow relative motion between the end portion and the bracket when a second load is applied in a second direction that is different than the first direction. In some implementations, relative motion may be allowed when the second load exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A support surface system includes a support surface portion that defines mounting locations spaced from one another and a fixture configured to secure an object. The support surface system also includes a retention portion having a first portion defined by the support surface portion at each of the mounting locations and a second portion defined by the fixture, with the second portion arranged to couple with the first portion at any of the mounting locations. The retention portion alternates between a retained state, in which the first portion and the second portion are coupled and motion of the fixture is restrained, and an unretained state, in which the first portion and the second portion are decoupled and the fixture is movable with respect to the support surface portion.
