Abstract:

A system and method for designing components through the use of a computer having a computer aided design (CAD) software enables a reduction in the occurrence of infinite looping. The method includes the step of identifying common areas between the components, wherein the components have a three-dimensional relationship through the use of the computer. Another step includes traversing the common areas with at least one parallel division plane through the use of the computer and trimming the component to the at least one parallel division plane. Yet another step includes storing the component in the computer memory as a first product layout and a second product layout. The method further includes integrating the first and second product layouts through the use of an architectural layout function thereby reducing the occurrence of infinite looping by the CAD software.

Abstract:

A motor vehicle storage compartment includes a housing defining an interior storage space and a top having a cutout defining a rear lip for supporting at least a portion of an item. A pivoting front support is provided, configured to bias between an open position and a closed position. A retainer is provided to keep the front support in the closed position. When biased to the closed position, the front support defines a lip for supporting an opposed portion of the item. When biased the front support the open position, the item falls into the storage compartment interior storage space for retrieval.
