Abstract

A component for a vehicle interior is disclosed. The component may comprise a base comprising a compartment and a cover/door assembly moveable between a closed position and an open position through an intermediate/transition position with a force provided by a vehicle occupant. The component may comprise a mechanism configured to facilitate movement of the cover from the open position toward the intermediate position and from the intermediate position into a fully open position. The mechanism may be configured (e.g. designed, tuned, etc.) to provide a braking/restraining/resisting force and/or an assist/lifting/pulling/pushing force to facilitate movement of the cover in a track/guide between open/closed positions through the intermediate position so that operation is within a desired range of force/effort for the occupant. The base and/or door assembly may comprise the mechanism; the mechanism may comprise at least one spring.
